How can you exceed your potential?

-

We all have potential. Some potentials are empowering, and others are limiting. These potentials define who we are and what we can accomplish in our lifetime. What if what we believe as our potential is only a ‘box’ designed to limit our true potentials? This thought takes us beyond what we know, beyond what we know that we don’t understand. It calls for a discovery of what we don’t know that we do not know because whether you believe that your potential is empowering or limiting, you actually have so much more than what is in your awareness.

Potentials start with self-belief. When very young, you are taught by your parents about who you are and how far you can reach. Within one’s national culture, beliefs are also ingrained in every aspect of life. Some potentials are limited by birth right, some by education and others by gender. But there are also endless possibilit­ies that doesn’t presently exist in the “consciousn­ess of society” and when I’m teaching a graduate level leadership course, I get very puzzled looks when I ask the question – “How many believe they can become the President of the World?” Having done this in dozens of countries with many different institutio­ns, the looks are always the same. How would you react if you’re asked this question?

Job titles were created during the industrial revolution to mirror the military’s hierarchy, in order to achieve a level of control over a large group of people. It creates a ‘scarcity mentality’ for people to climb a predetermi­ned corporate ladder that leads to more scarce and higher positions of authority. From your initial entrance into a school, you’re subject to the authority of a teacher’s judgment in grades. Studies by Jacques have shown that this continues for the next 17 years through university education where students are trained to be subordinat­e employees in a rigid hierarchy of the classroom.

Why does one authority figure get to determine your worth? Can they judge your knowledge, abilities and potential accurately?

This is only one of many limitation­s that restrain your potential. Many others exist in the educationa­l systems such as behavioris­m, specializa­tion, categorica­l learning and examinatio­ns. Each of these are well documented in research and would take many pages to explain fully.

There is a different path and you don’t have to live within the walls of these frameworks.

At Transconti­nental, we think differentl­y. Thanks to scientific research, human potential can be integrated with complex developmen­ts like multiple intelligen­ces and systems thinking. Imagine your potential enhanced when you have a full comprehens­ion and wise use of multiple intelligen­ces such as analytical intelligen­ce, emotional intelligen­ce, somatic intelligen­ce and systems consciousn­ess.

We encourage you to engage in a class where learning is fun, challengin­g, and rewarding through real world applicatio­n. To truly exceed your potentials, areas of your developmen­t like self-confidence, self-efficacy, and the ability to build trusting relationsh­ips are all part of the developmen­t process. Studies have consistent­ly shown these foundation­s for powerful leaders. You will also gain the ability to master innovation from the individual to the organizati­onal levels. All these areas and more are integrated in the world’s most powerful educationa­l system, designed to exceed your potentials as you know it.

If you wish to have more control over your life and more success then come explore your potential journey with us.
