About Belief Institute courses
Belief Institute courses are primarily centred on the understanding and application of key creative principles and processes, as showcased and worked in the Begin with the end in play® courses (see below).

Course list and details
Begin with the end in play - Health and Wellbeing
It's easy and quite common to believe that illness and early death is due to factors such as disease, poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, smoking and genetic disorders.
But according to the results gained from nearly 30 years of research by Sir Professor Michael Marmot, those factors account for around one quarter of the causes of illness and early death.
The primary, majority cause of illness is "psycho-social" – our personal beliefs and expectations, and the social environment (community, nation and culture) in which we live.
Begin with the end in play® - Sales
Begin with the End in Play - Sales is a short, intensive (2 hr) workshop for project / sales / management professionals, focused on the 'machinery' that underpins, enables and powers our ability to create desired results (e.g. sales targets and project outcomes).
The workshop introduces advanced quantum principles that enable stronger, more resilient focusing on, and realisation of, one's desired future circumstances and goals.
Key insights into how possibilities are 'realised' into lived actuality are covered.
Creative, intuitive abilities are couched within an expanded philosophical framework that recognises the need to 'let go' mechanical (past-based) thinking and behaviour.
Begin with the end in play®
Begin with the end in play® is a 1/2 day workshop intensive that provides the understanding and tools for engaging the key creative, productive processes of life.
As entrepreneurs only too well know and appreciate, analysis, logic, research and facts are important but secondary considerations when making the big decisions. First and foremost is gut-feeling and a can-do attitude, both of which are essential factors for positive outcomes. The means or logic of 'how' comes later, not initially.
Creative people—artists, musicians, scientists and inventors—know the value of a 'poised balance' between a focus on results, and on 'letting go' via daydreaming, imagination and play.
The key creative-productive process of life is applicable to all aspects of life, including health, relationships, scientific discovery, business innovation and art.
Belief-System Tune-Ups
Many people easily forget how muich they rely on mental-maps (belief-systems) to navigate through life.
What we believe defines, shapes and creates us. What we believe possible will reveal itself by what we attempt to achieve.
Belief-system tuneups are designed to reveal the deeper, more congruent frameworks of life -- those that you can rely on, irrespective of time and circumstance.
Belief-System Tune-Ups can be tailored for the industry, circumstances and needs of clients.
Confidence, Wellbeing and Resilience
What is resilience, and how do we develop or strengthen it?
Generally, we understand resilience as that admirable quality of being able to face adversity and bounce back after mishap.
Confidence in the face of adversity requires a deep certainty of eventual well-being and success – that we can 'come through' unpleasant experiences, and be enriched by them.
It's an inner strength that enables a positive outlook, despite negative circumstances and events.
Creativity, Intuition and Quantum Mechanics
Creativity, Intuition and Quantum Mechanics (CIQM) is a short (20-30min) presentation given to business groups. It contains key concepts and materials provided in the Begin with the End In Play® program.
The presentation introduces the key principles of quantum theory, and how those principles relate to, and provide a basis for, intuition and creativity.
It reveals how and why we are severely limited by old-paradigm (reductionist) thinking dating back to Isaac Newton. Old-paradigm thinking is still the basis for the vast bulk of contemporary scientific, medical and business management attitudes and beliefs.
Quantum mechanics has revealed the potential for creativity and intuition spreads beyond whatever is reducible to logic, reason and fact: surprises and original ideas are available to those who learn the processes by which to expect and receive them.
Executive mentoring and coaching
Part and parcel of any executive's role is delegating responsibly. To achieve desired business objectives, we can't do everything ourselves, so we necessarily delegate various tasks ... and therein lies a problem: how do we maintain control over required outcomes, without micromanaging every detail?
To some extent well defined and documented systems and procedures provide effective guidelines and frameworks, but no system can ensure individual initiative and creativity.
Effective leaders and managers need to mentor and coach their teams.
Full Sense Leadership
What is Full Sense Leadership?
Full Sense Leadership defines two key capabilities of, and dimensions to leadership.
- Full Sense Leaders understand and accept there is a fullness to life that cannot be adequately reduced to, or fully revealed by analysis, reason or science. This fullness requires a felt-sense, an intuitive ability to tap the rich, flowing dynamics of diverse but interconnected systems - the global economy, ecosystems, social groups and media, and of our own psyches.
Full Sense Leaders understand the power and necessity of working intuitive abilities with reasoning and analysis. They know they sometimes have to trust their gut feelings despite evidence or analysis suggesting contrary courses of action. - Full Sense Leaders are able to put things in perspective, and to make sense of the world. A Full Sense Leader is someone who sees and senses the bigger picture, sufficient to map and productively lead the way in troubling times.
Full Sense Leadership is the skill and ability to work the combination of head and heart, of logical and intuitive, of local and nonlocal.
Full Sense Leaders accept the validity of nonlocal awareness - an awareness that taps into the at-once fullness and interconnectedness of life.
Managing Successful Projects
Successful project managers are masters of time management, understand human dynamics, and exhibit expertise in the many areas contributing to a project’s success
Managing Successful Projects–Real World Skills for Project Managers & Teams is a highly participative two-day program geared to both novice and experienced project managers. The course addresses the four major project management phases and the human dynamics critical to successful project completion.
Profitable Sustainability
"Sustainability" is one of those loaded terms that is usually taken to mean "living smaller" - of having to ride bicycles to work, reducing our lifestyle, and cutting back on overseas travel ... which all means less choice, freedom and fun!
The expectation that sustainable business practices will reduce profitability is likewise often assumed. Not much fun in that.
