This unique learning program is for anyone who wants to improve themselves to reach their potential:
Individuals who want to learn how to work and live smarter for greater success, happiness, wellness and growth.
Businesses who want to maximise the talent of their staff by providing Thrive Learning courses as a powerful learning and development program.
Schools who want to teach their students the importance of psychological strength
If you are going to add value to yourself you must make yourself the top priority. You are, after all, the most urgent project you can possibly undertake. Working on yourself is the single most rewarding thing you can do.
Eventually everyone you know will benefit hugely from the result.
Some of the common reasons people sign up for the program are:
You want to stop making the same mistakes and learn to make better decisions. You are sick of struggling all the time. Life is meant to be easier. Behavioural science research finds that it takes on average twelve mistakes before a person changes the way they behave. That’s a lot of pain and distress, and wasted time and money on mistakes that you could prevent from happening by having better life skills.
You want to learn and grow, but you don’t want to go back to school, or have to read a dozen self help books, and you need something practical, that you can implement straight away.
You want to learn how to make the most of your talents. You want to boost your career or business, create better relationships, and experience more happiness.
You want structured yet flexible Personal and Professional Development options. Most people don’t have any structured form of development, so they don’t retain what they initially learn from reading and viewing. This wastes time, energy and money.
The Thrive Program is based on the latest scientific research on brain functioning and behavioural science, as well as our extensive experience as Psychologists, executive coaches and psychotherapists. Our content has taken 30 years to collect, prepare and refine. We present it in bite-sized topics using a blend of webinars (30 mins) and accompanying workbooks, group coaching sessions (1 hour), expert feedback, community support and shared learning.
Noticing that mental illness and symptom reduction is the focus of most psychology programs, Psychologist Peter Charleston wanted to create something different, more positive and skills based, so he decided to develop the Thrive Program to assist people to enhance their lives.
The Thrive Program incorporates Peter’s concept of psychological strength and the proven techniques he has developed over the last 30 years. In facilitating the Program, Peter offers practical tips, case studies, handouts, quotes, videos, feedback, one-on-one guidance, questionnaires, and slideshow presentations. Our live group coaching sessions are where the magic often happens. We keep group numbers low to maximise learning and we encourage interaction and everyone learning from each other. Peter has a warm, engaging and trusting style that draws out the wisdom of the group.
We offer both professional and personal development courses online on a wide range of topics. Each course is designed so that you can learn at your own pace and use the resources anytime. Each topic includes a recorded webinar, a comprehensive reflective workbook, and a live group coaching session to allow us to deep dive into the topic.
We aim to achieve an ideal blend of proven theories, real case studies, stories from our own experiences, practical hints, tips, skill-building exercises and plenty of time to discus, share and problem solve together.
You will learn practical life skills that you can action straight away, that are backed by the latest behavioural health research and adult learning principles.
