It should be noted that there is unlikely to be ‘one best way’ and technique designs has drawn
from many sources. Some provided a partial background or blueprint of expertise in the field
(e.g. leadership, coaching, sports, wealth, meditation, arts, etc.) many integrated with human
capital development (e.g. emotional intelligence, accelerated learning, team-building, creativity and
innovation, change management, learning styles, cognitive research and psychometrics) using up-to-date
knowledge, easy to follow psycholinguistic guidelines, and the designers many years of extensive pioneering,
innovating and field-testing experience applied largely in a business context and to a lesser extent sports
(especially golf), business and private coaching, workshops, talks and seminars.
