Humans are wired to choose. It is a natural act. Why is this context a trigger to enrol in We choose to snooze our alarm clock. We choose between fish or meat. We choose to continue to read this manifesto. We even choose with whom we want to spend our lives with. We choose you because we believe that the act of choosing can be empowered. Choosing drains us. It is overwhelming. Even more in this unprecedented context. As we are compelled to make choices we are not prepared for, nor have the resources to. Imagine that you could have the possibility to understand the process of choosing. The art behind it. The science that strengthens it. The individual and powerful brain synapses. While receiving and providing support from a well-trusted tribe. Probably, Adam’s Choice is the best choice for you to make this year. 0. Program Design 4. Participants 1. Seeding Contents 3.

Seeding Developing self-awareness, deepening self-knowledge and creating a personalized and unique journey. Online Survey & Journey Design Participants answer a set of 36 questions, each corresponding to one of the 6 dimensions. Answering this survey allows participants to acknowledge the existing gap between the importance of a certain aspect in their lives, and how able they are to apply it on a regular basis. After completing the survey, participants attend a debriefing session with an Adam’s Choice Expert where they receive a 1-page report, which is the basis for a reflection on what key dimensions they want to focus during their Choosenology journey, so we can customize their full experience to be highly impactful. 1 Social The ability to understand ourselves and our emotions and cope with challenges life can bring. Emotional To have a meaningful life aligned with our core values and which fulfils a purpose. Spiritual To achieve personal fulfillment from our jobs or our chosen career fields while still maintaining balance in our lives. Desire to contribute to make a positive impact on the organizations we work in and on society as a whole. Occupational To achieve a lifestyle that ensures the health and physical condition to live the life we aspire to. A means to live in a balanced state of body, mind and spirit. Physical The ability to open our minds to new ideas and experiences. The desire to learn new concepts, improve skills and seek challenges in pursuit of lifelong learning. Intellectual What are the 6 wellbeing dimensions which will guide each participant’s Choosenology journey? How we relate to and connect with other people in our world. Ability to establish and maintain positive and meaningful relationships with family, friends and coworkers. Online survey report example 2. Nurturing Creating a nourishing space, having the opportunity to flourish from within and supporting others’ blooming process. The journey will be done both individually and with a group, although the two are intertwined Individual Journey Participants will lead an individual journey, where they are invited to reflect on who they are, where they are at and the choices that led them there, as well as where they want to be and the choices that they need to make in order to get there. INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY GROUP JOURNEY Group Journey Participants will receive support from their peers (a person who is similar in fundamental ways to the recipient of the support; their relationship is one of equality) during this transformative journey, with whom they will both receive and provide knowledge, experience, emotional, social and practical help to each other. Adam’s Choice will provide the tools and opportunities to do this in a structured way. 6 The journey is guided by 5 cyclical steps GUIDANCE & SUPPORT Inspiring Content KNOWLEDGE & TOOLS of the Peer Mentoring Inspiring content can be uplifting and create an impetus to action. Participants will receive curated and proprietary content to inspire change, nurture curiosity and engage them in the process. Participants are free to explore this content on their own time, as "food for thought". What are the "The best way to learn is to teach, the best way to teach is to learn“. Throughout this journey of shared discovery, as a mentee, participants will have the chance to identify their issues and goals and the ways of resolving or reaching them. As a mentor, they will see new perspectives, develop their ability to motivate others and grow in the process. INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY Co-learning Groups Throughout this journey, participants will have the chance to attend several synchronous and asynchronous online sessions related to the phase that they are going through. These sessions will give them practical knowledge and tools to succeed in this journey. MasterClasses GROUP JOURNEY Through this combination of brainstorming, support and peer accountability in a group setting, participants will sharpen their own personal skills. Each person will both give and receive advice as members challenge each other to set strong goals, and more importantly, to accomplish them. . 7 Participant C Participant A Participants’ journeys are interconnected with one another in multiple ways and a single participant will have contact with most other participants at least once during this stage Participant B Participant D Participant E Content Feed Be inspired by content selected for you shared here.
