in-company and open programmes
new impetus uses models & techniques based on recent breakthroughs from several different scientific disciplines:
- cognitive-behavioural psychology
- positive psychology
- neuro-plasticity
- emotional intelligence
These approaches have been proven to work by giants in the field such as Professor Martin Seligman PhD, the founder of Positive psychology, revered by his peers as the world's greatest living psychologist.
new impetus reliably and resiliently transforms how you feel and deliver. Our graduates frequently call it life changing!
The factors it gives you mastery over are universal, including:
reaching potential resilience ownership & control
self-esteem emotional proficiency self-belief
Which is why we can tailor the methodology to different objectives, eg:
- engagement
- leadership
- selling
- culture shift
- profitability

We start by over-viewing the financial evidence to win buy-in eg businesses led by emotionally proficient CEOs make 390% more profit (Boyatzis 1999):
We explain how to embed new impetus mindset & behaviour as a default so as to optimise performance against one's potential. Here are a few extracts:
- they improve analytical reasoning, influencing, leadership, resilience, health and longevity (by 9 years) (Seligman 2002, Frederickson 2003)
- negative states diminish or even eliminate creativity & solution skills (Seligman ibid)
- hope, optimism, confidence and resilience improve financial performance (Luthans et al 2007)
- empowering cultures deliver 38% higher growth in shareholder value (RSA 1996)
- in conquest sales emotionally proficient people outperform their peers by 123% (Spencer 1991, Hay McBer 1997)
- will-power is incapable of delivering sustained personal change
- so humans mostly revert to old habits
- how to change simply and sustainably via a cognitive¬-behavioural approach
- in this way John Landy improved his world record by 3 seconds within days
- the conduct to which a human defaults is manifested in dominant neural pathways
- these can be modified eg using mental rehearsal
- the first quadruple somersault took Olympic Gold, after two years of mental preparation before the dive was first attempted.
1. Positive mindset and emotions benefit performance:
2. The evidence relating financial performance to emotional climate:
3. The dramatic scale of change that is feasible:
4. Neuro-plasticity, discovered in the 1990's, explains change via neuro-anatomy:
efficacy
We also believe in evidencing our own effectiveness.
- Surveys report we secure near-universal buy-in (86% still using 50%+ up to 6.5 years on)
- The same surveys found the following percentages reporting current improvements up to 6 years on:
- 85% in person-to-person skills
- 93% in positivity & resilience
- 78% in happiness & engagement
- 81% in their drive & energy
Format
new impetus is run in four formats:
- in-company programmes tailored to client specific business and target outcomes, three or four days over six weeks in classes between 4 and 40; ongoing individual mentoring for key individuals
- master class, a demanding 1 and a half + half day programme for senior leaders in classes of between 2 and 20. Suitable for those who can handle a highly accelerated learning pace. Individual mentoring follow up
- overview for colleagues not included in in-company full training, classes of 50-400 1day + half day follow-up after 4 weeks. Ensures colleagues' support rather than detract from the impact of the main programme
- open programmes bring together participants from different organisations eg for people who miss their company's main programme (2 days plus a 1-day follow-up after six weeks):
