The Total Well Being program is based solidly on the Alexander Technique, a discovery about how human
beings are designed to work optimally. It involves key insights into human physiology and psychology that
have been developed for practical applications over the last hundred years. In his acceptance lecture for the
Nobel Prize in Medicine, Nikolaas Tinbergen praised the discovery of the Alexander Technique as a "story of
perceptiveness, of intelligence, and of persistence . . . one of the true epics of medical research and
practice." In his own experience of training with the principle, Tinbergen noticed, "with growing amazement,
very striking improvements in such diverse things as high blood pressure, breathing, depth of sleep, overall
cheerfulness and mental alertness, resilience against outside pressures, and also in such a refined skill as
playing a musical instrument."
Of particular note for corporations is the relationship of the Alexander Technique to more than just "physical"
problems. The principle can have remarkable effects on alertness, thinking, attitude, resilience to stress, and
performance of refined skills, like closing a deal, making a presentation, calming an angry client or co-worker,
and more.
The effect of the Alexander Technique on overall health and performance enhancement has made it
particularly popular in the fields of dance, theater, and music. As Einstein said, "dancers are the athletes of
God." They must learn to access every ounce of their potential. Because it works so well in helping people
access their potential, the Principle is also used by executives, Olympic athletes, and the Israeli Air Force.
Your employees are high performance competitors in their own right, whatever their current level of play.
And their ability to perform at their best directly determines how well your company succeeds. That's where
Total Well Being enters the picture.

| Totally Customized Training |
Training is completely customized to your specific needs. The Total Well Being program can be presented
as a single or series of group classes on- or off-site. The length of the presentations can be adjusted to fit
your needs. Our recommendation is to combine group presentations with one-on-one training--at least for
key team members. The one-on-one training is the most effective way to optimize the learning and
performance of your staff. However, we recognize that this is not always possible, which is why we offer
such a broad level of customization. This customization helps to get you and your team the best possible
results.
For instance, Total Well Being can be presented as a Negotiation program. Your negotiators will be taught
how to apply this core principle of human psychology and physiology in the real-world context of doing their
job. The result will mean better outcomes in their negotiations, better quality of life as employees, a great
enhancement to current training protocols in wellness AND negotiation skills, and a genuinely improved
corporate culture. You could also choose Selling, Communication and Presentation, Self-Confidence,
and more. Whatever methods you choose for implementing Total Well Being, it will enhance all current
training programs and leave you with employees who have the skills to be more productive and successful,
more creative and joyful, more ethical and rational, and more flexible and centered in everything they do.
