1. Who Should Attend
Anyone looking to be more successful reaching their own goals, or interested in helping others to be more effective in reaching theirs.
This course takes an in-depth look at our motivational mindsets – how the ways in which we think about our goals exert a profound influence, determining not only whether we ultimately succeed or fail, but also our emotional experiences, our coping strategies, and our sense of satisfaction and well-being.
Specifically, we’ll look at the causes and consequences of focusing on Being Good vs. Getting Better, and of focusing on what there is to gain (Promotion) vs. trying to avoid loss (Prevention). You’ll learn to recognize each mindset, to understand where they come from, to capitalize on their strengths and anticipate their weaknesses. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll discover how to shift mindsets when necessary in order to achieve greater success, well-being, and motivational balance.
This science-based approach to understanding and changing mindsets will be useful to coaches, counselors, therapists, managers, leaders, parents, and anyone else concerned with showing others how to reach their fullest potential and greatest well being.
In this course, you will learn strategies that will not only empower you to help others, but will also enable you to more effectively reach your own personal and professional goals.
2. What You’ll Learn Each Week:
Week 1: Mindsets: Being Good vs. Getting Better An overview of how these two mindsets impact goal pursuit and well-being
Week 2: The origins of Being Good and Getting Better – why do we adopt one mindset or the other?
Week 3: Shifting from Be Good to Get Better in the Short Term: Framing & Feedback
Week 4: Shifting from Be Good to Get Better in the Long Term: Interventions that Work
Week 5: Mindsets: Promotion vs. Prevention Do you want to go for gains or avoid losses? Do you want to be loved or feel safe? An overview of these two (opposite) motivational styles.
Week 6: The origins of Promotion and Prevention – the influence of parenting practices, culture, and life roles
Week 7: Working With Your Mindset to Maximize Success and Well-being
Week 8: Shifting Mindsets: Framing, Feedback, and Seeking Balance
3. What You’ll Get Out of This Course:
You’ll be knowledgeable about the latest, most cutting-edge research in one of the most exciting areas of psychology: motivation science. This is expertise that is in demand in organizations across the country and around the world.
You’ll learn how our mindsets influence everything we do: how they provide a lens through which we interpret our difficulties and our successes.
You’ll learn how to recognize particular mindsets in yourself and others, providing a starting place for diagnosing strengths and weaknesses, and creating a plan of treatment or a course of action.
You’ll understand why not every strategy is effective for everyone, why some strategies feel right while others don’t, and how to identify what will work best for you and for those you are trying to help as a function of their mindset.
You’ll learn how to shift mindsets, and how to help others shift their own, through feedback, situation framing, and interventions that address the core beliefs underlying each mindset.

8. What People Say About Heidi.
In the summer of 2011, Heidi taught an extraordinary MentorCoach Master Class: Becoming an Artist with Goals. Students loved it. One of our senior faculty members said it was the best MentorCoach class she’d ever taken. Heidi has a brilliant and deep understanding of the research and practice in motivation research and goal attainment. She knows all the key researchers in the field. She’s a superb lecturer. And she stayed highly involved with the class. Even now, more than six months since the class ended, Heidi is still active on the continuing class list serv.

9. Class Website
There will be a password-protected class web site. In advance of each session, we’ll post Heidi’s power points for the next class in multiple formats. We’ll also post Heidi’s special lecture notes in advance of each class, relevant articles and blog entries. And after each session, you’ll be able to listen online or to download a digital recording of that class to your computer and MP3 player (eg your iPod).
Thus, when you have a conflict with a particular class, you’ll have the recording, power points, and reading and you won’t miss a thing. For the Authentic Happiness Coaching™ Program, some students had ongoing conflicts and listened to the entire class by recording. We anticipate that a number of Heidi’s students in this class–for example, those living in Australia–will experience the class entirely by recording, still emailing in questions to Heidi between classes.
