What is Acceptance-Action Training?

A powerful personal development programme that changes people’s work and lives (work and other) for the better. It replaces stress, regret, worry, resentment, self-blame, disapppointment, fear of failure and procrastination with empowerment, motivation, achievement, fulfillment and a sense of self-worth.

Developed in the UK, the programme is available from Abicord Training as a series of seminars called 'The Power to Choose', held in London, or available on an individual or group basis at client premises. There's a stand-alone morning or evening seminar, teaching the life-changing skills of 'Positive Acceptance', and an optional follow-up series of four mornings or evenings, spread over four weeks.

Training for organisations, called 'Personal Effectiveness and Achievement Training,' can be delivered in five spaced seminars, two half-days, a single one-day training, one-to-one, three days combined with sailing or tailored to meet the organisation's needs.

How does it work?

The training combines the wisdom of acceptance thinking, employing the techniques of Positive Acceptance, with the power of an action oriented approach to work and life. Acceptance-Action Training teaches us to think and act in new ways that bring contentment, achievement and fulfillment to our lives.

How was it developed?

The training was developed following a research programme at the University of London examining how people generate major positive change in their lives, just by changing the way they think. By focusing on individuals who'd successfully made such a change, the research provided significant insights into how people achieve this. These are captured in the training, together with techniques employed in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance-Action Therapy (AAT) and Coaching.

Is it effective?

It has been successfully tested in therapy, coaching and seminar environments with outstanding results. A similar approach developed in America is also showing exceptional results, significantly outperforming other personal development, coaching and therapeutic approaches.

Feedback from participants who've attended the seminars includes an estimate of personal effectiveness and satisfaction before and after the training, using a scale from 0 to 10 (10 being the most effective and satisfied person we could imagine). Practically all scores have increased by two or more points, including 2 to 7, 3 to 9 and 4 to10. Most increase from 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 to 9 or 10. Follow-up after 6 months shows changes have been sustained or further improved (on average for the group ... individual scores cannot be compared as feedback is anonymous).

What's involved?

We'll be working with radically new ways of thinking and behaving in facing every-day challenges and dealing with life issues and goals.

How long does it take?

There's a stand-alone seminar teaching the skills of Positive Acceptance in one morning of two hours or evening of two and a half hours. There are four optional follow-up seminars to complete the 'Power to Choose' series, each of two and a half hours. These span four consecutive, or near consecutive, weeks, one morning or evening per week. The follow-up series is not available without first having attended the stand-alone seminar on 'Positive Acceptance'. See above, or click on Organisations, for training in organisations

How much does it cost?

The stand-alone seminar on Positive Acceptance costs £99.00, reduced to £20.00 if you register here and pre-pay. Once paid, your registration is automatically carried forward to a future seminar if you cannot attend. All moneys paid are subject to a performance guarentee and refund (see below). Organisations interested in in-house training should contact Abicord Training.

10% of all receipts from seminars is passed to the 'Yes to Life' charity which provides an outstanding service to cancer sufferers and their families

How do I know it will work for me?

We're confident you'll start experiencing significant benefits after the stand-alone seminar on Positive Acceptance. If you don't, your investment will be refunded immediately on request. We're also confident the follow-up series will bring major benefits. In the unlikely event this is not the case, after completing the series, all moneys paid will be refunded immediately on request. We guarentee that if the benefits are not worth more than 10 times what you've paid (by your judgement) we'll give you an immediate refund. It hasn't happened yet. In practice it's 100 times or more.

When and where?

The seminars are currently available in the UK in London. The evening seminars are held in Victoria, the morning seminars in the City. Click here for dates, times and venue.

The training is also available on an individual basis in London (Maida Vale) or Surrey (Leatherhead) and on an individual or group basis at client's premises.
