Chimp Management: Mind Management Skills for Life Programme

The Chimp Management: Mind Management Skills for Life programme is a tailor-made ‘CPD accredited’ online course that enables you to enhance your resilience, improve your communication skills, establish more productive relationships and gain insight into your mind, using The Chimp Model.

 

The programme provides practical support to understand The Chimp Model and to help improve individual mental and psychological well-being; is research based and has been developed by Professor Steve Peters (author of The Chimp Paradox). It explains and simplifies the neuroscience of the mind, helping participants to understand how their mind works, offering practical guidance and helping individuals better manage their mind.

The programme, starting in Spring 2022, is being FULLY FUNDED by Warwickshire LA (RRP £400pp), for Warwickshire school staff.

 

The programme has been designed to:

• Bring insight and awareness into how the mind works; through teaching about the neuroscience of the mind. 
• Help participants apply this understanding of the mind, so they can manage their mind in a way that can optimise their quality of life.
• Bring insight into the way in which their mind is working and relate this to thoughts, behaviours and emotions
• Develop an emotional skills base to apply to their professional and personal lives
• Build confidence and self-esteem
• Approach personal and professional lives in a constructive and realistic way and improve morale
• Aid understanding of the way in which the mind of others works and use this to improve human interaction
• Develop skills to improve personal happiness, peace of mind, create a sense of purpose and belonging
• Prevent, remove or manage stress from perceived difficult situations both personally and professionally

 

All participants will also receive a COMPLIMENTARY COPY OF PROFESSOR STEVE PETERS LATEST BOOK ‘A PATH THROUGH THE JUNGLE’.

Gateway Alliance have worked in partnership with Chimp Management to trial the programme with schools and this is some of the feedback received:

 

“It has enabled me to understand people's reactions to situations, especially children’s, and deal with situations on a human level.”

 

“I have become more aware of myself and my own reactions & how I come across to others.  And of course I now have a greater understanding of other people's behaviour.”

 

“I think the most helpful and amazing thing has been the truths and values on my stone of life. I am still working at focusing on these, but they have already helped me to genuinely stop worrying about the things that I cannot change. This is something that for the last 30 years I have really struggled with, so this has felt like a real breakthrough for me.”

 

“Working with some challenging children has enabled me to think deeper in what I want an outcome to be rather than just jump straight in.”

“I have been able to Identify the Chimp in me and it has been amazing for me personally to be able to notice a change in my thinking on a daily basis.”

 

“I have found the Skills for Life sessions both informative and highly engaging. It has given me time for personal reflection, and I am very mindful of my Chimp's responses! I also feel less self-critical and more accepting of myself/life. I have built in time first thing in the morning where I think through my day and potential 'situations' which could occur and reflect on these. I have found this to be very positive.”
