Psychological Awareness is the Key to Success and Connection
Psychological awareness allows you to develop your own sense of belonging and connection to people around you.
Why is connection so important? Connection is critical to almost everything we do, whether that involves talking to those in our most intimate relationships to conflict at work.
Personal Awareness
People often don’t focus on their own personal awareness. However, without that awareness operating, you will react to automatic reactions, reactions that come from your own history of trauma and pain. Traumatic responses or psychological triggers, create problems for you and the person you are interacting with. Not only that, you will meet people in your day to day life who also respond to their own psychological triggers. It can be a recipe for disaster.
Developing self-awareness helps solve problems even before they start.
Stress Management
Stress is another key element to everyone’s life, it changes the way you think and the way you behave. Being able to control stress allows you to manage better in almost any situation. Not only that, people who know and understand how to manage stress are going to be more successful in their personal and work lives.
This book will teach you how to recognise your own stress, how to keep it under control, and how to prevent it from affecting your life.
People Can Be Complicated
Have you ever noticed how complicated people can be? People become confused, frustrated or even angry about someone else’s behaviour. It is not uncommon, and yet when you stand back and look at a situation it might even be predictable. This part of the book will take a closer look at different factors that affect people’s behaviour. This will help you understand people and develop connection to them – connection is a key to getting on better with people, and resolving conflict.
Conflict Management
Conflict is an inevitable consequence of living. However, when conflict becomes complicated or toxic, then conflict will begin to dominate and create a situation that leads to hardship for those involved in the conflict. This book will help you not only understand conflict, but teach you how to solve conflict using a simple strategy that adds structure to chaos.
Understanding Your Sphere of Influence
With all of these changes, it is time to realise that you influence the people around you. This awareness can change the way you look at people around you, you will realise that not only does ‘working on yourself’ change you, but you have the capacity to change and shape the people around you. This is a key to leadership.
Here’s What You’ll Learn

Learning is the critical first step to changing your life.

As you learn you can begin to practice and and your understanding will deepen.
Integrate

Dr Neil Schultz
Neil Schultz has been working with people in for nearly forty years in a number of professional environments. It became clear that a lot of the harm people experience is a result of a failure to understand themselves and the people around them.
The first thirty years was spent helping people understand themselves and others, usually in the wake of problems that had already developed. His focus has changed to prevention.
Prevention of problems allows people to navigate and lead happier, healthier lives. Of course speedbumps still present themselves, but with greater skills comes a greater capacity to succeed.
