Self-Actualization®

Unique? Special? How? In what way?

It’s unique because our design here is to build on the revolutionary work of a 20th century visionary— Abraham Maslow. What Maslow initiated in pioneering the bright side of human nature and leading the first Human Potential Movement (which occurred during the 1960s and 1970s).

It’s special because we are continuing the Self-Actualization vision of Maslow by standing on his shoulders (and those of the other leaders in that first Human Potential Movement) and so extending it into the 21st century with many new models that practically apply the theories and premises of humanistic psychology.

Here you will find brand new developments of the idea and process of self-actualization which will give you the ability to actually understand and use the self-actualizing process for unleashing more and more of your potentials.

Neuro-Semantics is an inter-disciplinary field built upon the work of Alfred Korzybski in General Semantics, Gregory Bateson as an Anthropologist and System thinker, Bandler and Grinder in NLP who created a Communication Model for modeling human excellence based on Cognitive Behavioral premises from George Miller, Noam Chomsky, and many others. Neuro-Semantics also grew out of the work of my work (L. Michael Hall) in modeling the special kind of consciousness or mind that we humans have— self-reflexive consciousness. So, in Neuro-Semantics, we focus primarily on the human meaning-making powers and potentials and how we actualize them in our everyday actions, hence the two axes that creates the Self-Actualization Quadrants — Meaning and Performance.

Key Self-Actualization Models of Neuro-Semantics:

The Self-Actualization Matrix — The Pyramid Embedded Matrix that transforms the Pyramid into a Volcano of energy.

The Self-Actualization Quadrants — based on the Meaning and Performance Axes.

The Construct, the Crucible, and the Zone of Self-Actualization — defining the unleashing process (as detailed in Unleashed, 2007)

The Meta-States Model — Modeling self-reflexive consciousness and the multiple layers of awareness that make up the frames in the back of the mind.

The Self-Actualization Workshops
The Neuro-Semantic training workshops for enabling and facilitating the self-actualizing life.

The unleashing process of self-actualizing is a journey inward that will take you through a thousand rabbit holes as you explore the depths and heights of your inner games before it brings you out into the outer world of performance. And that is where you will find the excitement of the outer game and peak performances. All of this is like taking the Red Pill. So obviously, it is not for the faint of heart, but for the adventurous.

Achieve dependable, powerful results
“The Ultimate Self-Actualization Workshop finally showed me how to integrate my highest meanings with my best performances in work and life. Also, while many great achievers like Lance Armstrong and Nelson Mandela had to ‘suffer’ before achieving greatness, we don’t all have to get cancer or go to prison to achieve greatness. There is an easier and simpler way to actualize ourselves!”

–Andrew Tham, Certified Trainer of Neuro-Semantics, Malaysia

“There is always something that prevents one from taking the next step. What the Self Actualisation Workshop gives is the chance to rediscover all those important things that you have always know at a very deep level. It allows you to reclaim your inner spirit that may have been hidden by distorted or limiting beliefs of your ability. It gives you the opportunity to recharge your emotional and mental capacities and awaken new possibilities. The training has given me the answers on how to drive myself to my best. It’s an amazing training! Michael Hall gives you the tools to enrich, connect and contribute in your life! The training is for everyone, so join in!”
