What is Perceptual IntelligenceTM Training and How Does It Help?

Perceptual IntelligenceTM Training offers a leadership philosophy that gets to the root causes of emotions, motivations, and behaviors, helping leaders drive extensive change and culture transformation. Our trainings offer new ways to move people and organizations to their highest in health and productivity. 

Erik’s Perceptual IntelligenceTM Trainings create profound improvements in organizational culture, including deep empowerment, better decisions and alignment, higher morale, lower turnover, and effective conflict resolution. 

The first step to Perceptual IntelligenceTM is to understand the nature of perception, to know what perception is and how it works. This includes the way we characterize things and situations, then the way we evaluate them as good and bad. It includes sensory experience, but also imagination and memory. It involves perceptual limits and the “lock and block” effect created by those limits. Finally, it includes views of self, others, situations, and life.
Once we understand the nature of perception, we look at the dynamics of perception, emotion, motivation, and behavior. We learn to identify categories of “See,” “Feel,” and “Act,” and see how these categories automatically influence each other. Instead of hacking the branches in a futile effort to change emotions and behaviors, we strike the root, following the smart change strategy of starting with perception.

Once the foundational ideas are solid, we start optimizing corporate culture and every area of life by embedding four prime perceptions: views of self and others that improve the way we work in organizations and live our lives. Changes that seemed almost impossible before we understood this power are now profoundly easier

Praise for Erik Van Alstine's Automatic Influence Book and Course

Why is change so hard? How do we influence others without harsh tactics or manipulation? Are there better ways to change that truly last?

Erik Van Alstine’s revolutionary book, Automatic Influence: New Power for Change in Work and Life, answers these questions in simple and fascinating style, supported by leading-edge science and a compelling new view of perception, emotion, motivation, and behavior Erik describes as Perceptual IntelligenceTM.

Automatic Influence reveals a profound power source in human nature, like a red button in the basement of the mind, that energizes every emotion, drives every decision, and activates every action. When we try to change without triggering this power, change is hard. We grit our teeth, gut it out, lose steam, and give up.

But when we switch on this power, change is easier. Profoundly easier.

“In Automatic Influence, Erik Van Alstine explores the importance of perception, and the power it has to unlock our potential, to change ourselves, and influence others. True to the principles expressed here, Erik has done a great service in opening up the possibilities for positive change, spiritual growth, and social development.”
