The 4A Process

Assessment
Awareness
Acceptance
Action
Assessment
WE MEASURE. Think of this phase like the lab work before your annual physical exam. Many critical factors impacting your physical health are revealed through this step. The same goes for your business and your organization. There are invisible forces governing your organizational health and ability to thrive that most often go undetected and unattended to by sheer inertia, busyness and conflict avoidance, among other things. We help you peer underneath the hood and look deeply at what’s been helping or hurting your ability to achieve goals and become the best versions of yourselves.
Awareness
WE REVEAL. Presenting and interpreting the data we find is critical to understanding “what we’re up against.” During this phase, our skilled and certified coaches and consultants disclose the results of the cutting-edge science-based assessments and what they mean to you and your organization. This “meaning-making” step is one that’s often glossed over, but is tantamount to “the first day of the rest of your life.” Without accurate and accountable sense-making, our minds will default to defensiveness and play to our deeply-entrenched biases. We are here to be that guide. Key thought: Awareness creates a choice.
Acceptance
WE ACCEPT. The next step is where Accelerated Breakthrough is unique among the rest, we go to the bottom of the swamp! We offer unique solutions to combat this resistance or denial stage. Telling the truth is so important. We say D.E.N.I.A.L. stands for Don’t Even Know I Am Lying. This is why resistance is hard to deal with, it requires courage on the parts of both the consultant and the client. Acceptance not only requires dealing with the logical data uncovered by the assessment, but moving past the psychological shock and denial experienced by those assessed. This is all a part of the process of unlearning. Unlearning can be scary, embarrassing, and neurologically and physiologically taxing. We approach this step with compassion, curiosity, openness and empathic acknowledgment of our shared humanity. And we remind you of your goals – why you hired us in the first place!
Action
WE TAKE ACTION. This is obviously where the rubber meets the road. Based on the data from our work together, will craft a plan of action with strategic milestones (POA&M). We will address the challenges these new goals and the unlearning process will inevitably bring and equip you to respond to them. We will walk together with you to create a culture of trust, accountability and purposefulness that will buoy and fuel your efforts to success! Key thought, if awareness creates a choice, action (daily mindful practice) builds capacity!
