Perspective of self and team. I believe the training could have lasting impact on the honest and reflective functions of our team to create a positive, honest and improvement focused office. It surprises me the difficulty people face in honest self-reflection. Perspective of self and team.

We needed the training...it showed me how deeply we embraced the ruinous empathy mindset (myself included). It was emotionally difficult for many at first to have the real conversations. The initial feedback felt difficult to receive. I am not only more aware of how I incorporate red arrow behaviors, but also how others do too. It provides more insight into getting past them and getting to the substance to create positive change.

This training changed my 'relationship' with feedback. Instead of seeing it as 'negative' or 'positive' or 'good' or 'bad' I now frame it in terms of usefulness / effectiveness. I am more confident in providing feedback and I am more thoughtful about the feedback that I give in terms of usefulness. I ask myself, 'is this just my opinion, or can someone actually do something to move the needle with this feedback'? I think it will take some more time for this to have a notable organizational...

I am more confident in providing feedback and I am more thoughtful about the feedback that I give in terms of usefulness. I ask myself, 'is this just my opinion, or can someone actually do something to move the needle with this feedback'? I think it will take some more time for this to have a notable organizational impact, but I do see some differences among those who have been in training. I personally gained in self-awareness around some insecurities that I have in the work place and at home. It brought me to a new level of healing / dealing with some 'manuals' / 'beliefs' I have about myself. I liked the idea of just getting the reps in - could see the benefits on both sides of giving and receiving it. I was hoping for a 'water-shed' moment as some others had, but that didn't happen for me personally -- and that's ok. Doesn't mean I did anything wrong, but I would like to continue honing my skills and elevating to more meaty feedback.

I got a ton from the training in terms of really seeing my blind spots and how my behaviors affected people in ways I didn't even know. I also started to connect the dots between listening, paying attention to details, speaking up and how this all helps create high-performing teams.

Throughout the training, I learned about my behavior, and I also learned ways that others in my group manage their own behavior. I have not spent much time considering ways that I shut down feedback, but after very little reflection it was clear that I engage in many red-arrow behaviors.

This module of debating to learn has taught me a great deal about asking questions to be more curious, vs trying to win a debate. I have normally leaned toward looking at the negative of a situation and leaning into the positive of how something can succeed has been situationally hard for me and I've been practicing more on thinking and speaking more positively.

Being vulnerable and letting in full-blown critical feedback is both a vital and painful process for self-improvement. You can't improve if you don't know your shortcomings, and no one is willing to risk a decent relationship to give you their honest opinions. The PRT-A training helped me become a better listener in my professional and personal life.

Awareness is the key word that I continue to use when I talk about PRT-A/B. As a teacher, I love to look at behavior and what causes or drives behavior in kids. Until PRT, I had never really related it to my own behavior. I didn't really connect the dots that my own actions drive my behavior and impact how people interact with me.

Read more Awareness is the key word that I continue to use when I talk about PRT-A/B. As a teacher, I love to look at behavior and what causes or drives behavior in kids. Until PRT, I had never really related it to my own behavior. I didn't really connect the dots that my own actions drive my behavior and impact how people interact with me. PRT-A/B have given me the tools to be aware of my own feelings and actions. Moving through my day, I can often identify that "fork in the road" where there might be two options - the one that I want to do and the one that makes me feel icky - and given my experience with PRT, I know that the icky one is what I have to do. The tough conversation may feel uncomfortable for a short time, but is better in the long run. Being part of PRT, I have heard other opinions and thoughts about my behavior and it has opened my eyes to blind spots that I might have. My surrounding world may just agree with me to be nice or to not have a confrontation, but in PRT, I was able to hear other thoughts and it made me think in a different light. I think awareness is such a simple answer to give. I'm aware now and life is grand! That's not it. The ins and outs of life continue to happen. I get tired and frustrated at work and at home and that's when I really need to put this into practice. It forces me to give pause to my reactions and to be thoughtful about what I want to say and/or do. It' not perfect all of the time and when it's not, I have to be accountable for that behavior and reflect on it for when it comes up again. Being in a small group with a coach and others who are working on the same thing is a great way to normalize some of this work so that it becomes part of the conversation in other areas of life. I

This PRT experience continues to keep me in the arena, learning and growing. It has allowed me to continue to look inward instead of blaming others for the ways conflict goes unresolved. The more I am engaged with others that are in the arena, the more opportunity I have to consistently go in the dark and make a habit of paying attention to my self and push the boundaries of my comfort zone of the appearances I keep. I am grateful to those that don't just take my BS of niceness and passivity... Read more This PRT experience continues to keep me in the arena, learning and growing.

PRT-B gave me a deep dive into paying more attention to my RABs and then getting reps whole on them. Being able to share that with other people who are working to better themselves gave me the opportunity to be extremely open and honest with myself and with them.

The biggest takeaway that I had when taking PRT was self-awareness and how important it is for your growth. Not only professionally, but also personally. I didn't realize how much my RAB's crossed over from my professional and personal life and when I started to self-identify these arrows that were prohibiting people from giving me the truth, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

During the 13 weeks I was attending PRT, not only did I see an improvement in the relationships I had, inside and outside of work, I was seeing an improvement in myself. Self-awareness is great - but you have to do something about it in order to make a difference. Something to note when taking this class is that you HAVE to put the work in to see results. It's like trying to lose weight, you can't just go to the gym once and expect to see results. Dedication and discipline is needed and at the end of the 13-weeks you will see the results.

The PRT-A course was a really powerful way to begin to build a better routine around inviting and receiving feedback as a leader. It helped me to examine some of the conscious and unconscious things that I was doing to keep others from being able to be honest with me, and that kept me from being able to accept their feedback. I tend to want to explain my rationale for everything when things don't go smoothly, and that can be seen as defensive or resistive to feedback. It's something I will...

Sometimes I felt like I was searching for things to probe on, and felt like I would be rated poorly for not asking questions, so sometimes I may have just been talking to talk. But other times, what was being shared was more in my wheelhouse and I felt I could contribute more. You have to learn there is a balance, and sometimes it may be okay to not probe if others are probing, etc. Sometimes I felt like I was searching for things to probe on, and felt like I would be rated poorly for not asking questions, so sometimes I may have just been talking to talk.

This was a 2% thing for me. I tried to do this and LIP each week, and it proved too much. I had conflicts with this a few times, but this was the more critical thing for me to join, and the LIPs have had to move to the backburner. As time progresses, maybe I’ll be able to pick them back up, but I think this relates to that intensity vs consistency Becca talked about today. This was a 2% thing for me.

You get out what you put into it; nothing new, but you really need to engage fully to get the full benefit. There were days I wasn’t feeling it and was distracted, and I felt I offered less and took away less than others, whether or not it appeared that way. Practicing intentionality is sometimes hard, but it’s critical to grow. You get out what you put into it; nothing new, but you really need to engage fully to get the full benefit.

It’s all about the reps: the consistency allowed me to hold myself accountable to the growth I told the group I was going to take.

How I have seen PRT help people grow: 1) Participants become better at changing their worldview as they see the world change around them. 2) Participants seek out feedback instead of shying away from it. 3) Changes how participants see mistakes, instead of trying to hide them they now see them as learning opportunities. 4) PRT helps participants that see challenges as threats, instead see them as growth opportunities. 5) PRT helps dial down ego and participants are more inclined to ask for help...

They become more resilient. Basically, what I've personally experienced and what I've seen in my PRT groups is that participants develop a more growth-oriented mindset. This mindset upgrades sense and decision making in every aspect of participants' lives. It has helped me slow down the world around me but increase my speed with which I operate. It's the closest thing I've seen in the real world to how NFL quarterbacks use strobe glasses to increase their decision making speed. It helps me filter signal from noise, improve situational awareness and decision-making agility. The highest praise I have for PRT is that my wife says a better husband, and father when I'm in a PRT group.

It's the foundation of leadership, without being fully engaged in PRT I think as a leader(at what ever level you are) you will limit yourself and create 'glass ceilings'. It's also the bedrock of inclusive cultures. If you bottle up what makes the elite teams in sports, business etc perform better then the rest it would be PRT.

Our resiliency training group is very supportive. At the same time, I got a lot of honest feedback during the process. At the same time, I am a little shameful because it took me so long to have those awareness and willing to take actions... because of the shame, I feel extra grateful for the people who are patient and support me through this journey. I still have a long way to go. I am less scared now. Our resiliency training group is very supportive. At the same time, I got a lot of honest feedback during the process.

Extremely Grateful Resiliency Training is giving me a great opportunity to reflect deeper on what is restricting me to become a better version of me and realize my full potential. And also how I make it difficult for others to give me feedback and truth.

And also how I make it difficult for others to give me feedback and truth. Opening up to our group and sharing what is in my head and discussing through the tough narratives that block my ability to even interact, was a real eye opener. I realized why I wouldn’t put myself and my thoughts out there, even in my safest circle - my parents... I had the fear of not having answers to their tough life questions. This enabled me to have open discussions with my parents and increased communication between us, especially in these times of staying home alone and scared, it’s been relaxing experience for both me and my parents. Resiliency Training is a platform that’s unique like SW or 10x, as it gives an expanded safe circle and allows self to be vulnerable and openly express our thought process and mindset.

I do not know if I was supposed to do this drill, but I will attempt to replay the initial worksheet this weekend on myself to see if I can flesh out any more red arrows. I have also been receiving better feedback (verbally) from my teams at work and family at home. ... Read more Surprisingly enough the participation in group discussion continues to get better.

One of the best aspects was the opportunity to meet in a safe place with colleagues. I think the concept of feedback did help to get the conversation moving and allowed some of us to open up more than we normally would have done. Can we incorporate some of the learning from the on demand Next Jump videos into the future courses? One of the best aspects was the opportunity to meet in a safe place with colleagues.

I just tried one of the Resiliency training on Tuesday and it was great. Makes you think of past leadership training that didn't work (checklists/procedures from more of a liability/employment law perspective...not practical approaches) and how you can relearn by unlearning your old training/management approaches.

Read more I got a little intro to PRT because I have been to NextJump in NYC and also have done a few of the Thursday zoom sessions with Charlie and Meg. I’ve always struggled with focus and it wasn’t until recently that I realized that not everyone faced the same struggles I did. Realizing that has made a big impact on my life thus I have learned to be more kind to myself and also seek treatment (big thanks to Annie, btw). Aside from that, others in the PRT sharing they feel “imposter syndrome” has also help me realize I’m not the only person that suffers from this. I’m 40 and I have improved on this over time, but I still have a long way to go. For me, imposter syndrome leads to too much humility which leads to many negative consequences. Ones I can think of are: not being able to create authentic relationships, further lowering my own self-esteem, not getting the opportunities that I would have otherwise gotten, etc. Meeting and speaking to Charlie and Meg in nyc has further built my confidence in giving and receiving Truths and forming more authentic relationships. I think this first came from finding commonalities between Charlie/me and commonalities between Meg/me. Charlie being Korean American, growing up in Africa then US, etc. Meg growing up in small town MA town in very blue colored family. Once I put them on equal playing ground, I was able to talk to them naturally as if I’m talking to a close friend. And usually when I talk to a close friend I keep conversations raw with no LHFs. Annie mentioned first how PRT has made a honest with herself and this has certainly been true for me as well. I’m going through one of the more challenging times in my career. There have been really good opportunities for me, but those have also come with great challenges. As I navigate through this, being truthful to myself on what I want and what is important has kept me focused and helped me make better decisions. At the restaurant, I’ve seen my managers and other leaders take great steps to take on more responsibilities and just become better all around leaders. I also end to attribute improvement to external factors or chance, rather than our own decisions and hard work. However, this time around, I can’t deny that my Truthfulness and feedback to my leaders didn’t play a part. In turn, they have been Truths as well.

Read more My ""why"" for signing up: These past 2 years in medicine have been grueling...I noticed feeling worn out in body and spirit. When this opportunity arose, I really did not understand much about it, but it seemed like a great chance to set aside some time for personal development. What I've noticed: First, I really enjoy the PRT groups themselves. Part of that is likely that it's a great bunch of people of course! I also love having designated time each week to actually THINK in a different way. To me, the group discussions are a reminder of our shared humanity, a glimpse into how the struggles of others can impact their abilities to receive truth from others and themselves. It is more comfortable to probe my more negative behavior patterns when others are making themselves vulnerable in the same way. The visit to Cambridge clarified a great deal for me in terms of the Next Jump mission and the purpose of PRT groups. I found the day to be energizing and thought provoking. I developed a greater understanding of the type of truth resiliency we are trying to develop in our group sessions. Where have I noticed the most impact? First, I think I'm improving my ability to be honest with myself. My ability to recognize whether or not I'm falling into a self-deprecating or ""victim"" thought spirals is sharpening. I am working on my skill at redirecting these thought patterns. As I become more cognizant of when my ""ego"" is rearing its head, I am better able to listen to my patients. THere have been several distinct encounters during which I have been able to sit back, listen to hard truths from patients, consciously act to avoid defensive behavior, and then move forward to have a meaningful and healing visit for them. I'm also able to accept more feedback from my husband without getting defensive/hurt, as well as have taken action with initiating conversations I otherwise would have avoided. This allows for less internal tension, which ultimately benefits me and my relationships. I believe strongly in the concept of ""better me"" as a way to achieve ""better us/better world."" As a mom and a physician, putting this mentality into practice is challenging and at times feels impossible, but I think the guiding principle is meaningful. Since starting PRT, I have been more often able to act on starting change from within.

Most specifically opening my business, but has severely limited my progress in so many areas of my life. Personal Relationships- Asking for help from my wife with my daughter Asking for help from my mother in-law in a situation that would make me anxious. Asking my wife for help purchasing cloths for this trip to NYC so I don’t look like a homeless gym rat and the fact that I’m admitting that to you. It’s ok to ask help from people who are in a position to offer it. It doesn’t make you look weak and if anything is the “cheat codes” to help move ahead when normally I would work thought it, struggle, and produce an inferior product (eventually learning enough to produce a solid product). People like to help and want to help, letting people in will only further these relationships and help live a richer life. Work: I started to “ask for help” a few years ago via hiring mentors and coaches. I didn’t really view this as asking for help, because I was paying for it and didn’t make me feel inferior or was I dependent on them. The PRT work has enabled me to ask for help from people who I directly work with day in and day out. The PRT work has now pushed me to make conscious effort to take reps at asking for help and telling people what I need from them. I previously did not do this and would get frustrated with people who didn’t know what I needed. I didn’t want to tell people what I needed because then I would seem dependent on them. That whole train of thought is wrong and I need to be a better leader to grow my business and lead my teams. Within the past month I’ve made the decision to expand my business and open a second location. Without the PRT I don’t know If I would have the confidence in my leadership to make this move. Being vulnerable is a tool that will break down barriers and help make life much richer. Thank you for your help with this journey. This work has some big impacts and makes me excited to help others as well.

I am an entrepreneur so being a leader as a business owner is always important, however my main reason for joining PRT was to work on my relationship with my wife. The PRT group has already been highly beneficial for refocusing my attention when I get a little lost, allowing me to get reps in a low risk environment, and continually nudging me to get reps outside of the group. While the group is a low risk environment, the feedback I have received from others is very real. I know how hard it can be to create an open feedback environment so I am valuing this PRT group because it is the one place I can get the feedback I need to hear instead of what I want to hear. Most importantly, it is forcing me to ask myself hard questions about myself in regards to my relationship and has created self realizations that have been eye opening. I am excited to take what I have learned and put in the reps with my wife to strengthen our relationship even further.

It’s hard to put into words the affect PRT has on an individual. To me, and bear with me here, it’s kind of like quantum physics. To those that study quantum physics, discussions makes total sense and it’s a great conversation leading to amazing discoveries about space, time, and our understanding of the universe.

Read more It’s hard to put into words the affect PRT has on an individual. To me, and bear with me here, it’s kind of like quantum physics. To those that study quantum physics, discussions makes total sense and it’s a great conversation leading to amazing discoveries about space, time, and our understanding of the universe. It literally opens your eyes to a new world of understanding and possibilities about how the world and universe works. But to someone with no awareness or understanding of quantum physics, or even a desire to understand, everything goes right over their head; it’s all lost and unrealized, and they stay stuck in their knowledge bubble of how the world works... centered around them. For PRT, the discussions instead are built around self-development and truthful communication. For those that are involved, discussions make total sense and it’s a great conversation leading to amazing discoveries about oneself, the lens through which we and others see and interact with the world, and our hidden and not-so-hidden behaviors that impact how we are perceived and interacted with. Eye opening puts it lightly. Before PRT, even with other leadership and self-development courses, I was not nearly as self-aware and certainly took less action on self-improvement. It’s like reading a self-help book; it can either change your life based on the actions you take from it, or you can read every page and not change a single thing in your life. It’s what you do with the information presented, and PRT forces you to take action for 13 weeks. The impact on me is also hard to put into words. How can one describe the realization and awareness of oneself in relation to the world? Before PRT I was the metaphorical cog in the wheel. Maybe not such much as a others, but still, my actions were bound by self-imposed limits based on my self-awareness and communication habits. Now I feel an awakening of control that puts real power into my hands to shape my world and future. I honestly think PRT is the best program I’ve ever done, and that’s from almost 37 years of life experience, between a private high school, college, The Navy, and entrepreneurship. I am undoubtedly better because of it. My relationship with my wife is better because of it. My relationship with my kids is better because of it. My relationship with my employees is better because of it. And my relationship with everyone else in my life, even the simple quick interactions with a cashier at a local store for example, has taken on a new level of understanding. All of these improved relationships will lead to more fulfillment out of life, more growth for my business (and as a trickle down, more growth for my employees and members), and in the grandest sense, a more truthful and honest world. The one caveat to this incredible program is that people need to be open to self-development in order to realize the gains. As someone that is involved with self-development from a fitness perspective, it’s sad to know that the majority of the population do not wish to entertain this idea. They like comfort. They dislike being uncomfortable. And make no mistake, PRT is at first, and often continues to be, uncomfortable, even for those willing and open to being there. It will make you challenge long held beliefs, question your daily interactions, and encourage growth like no other. But, same as it goes in the fitness world, by engaging in discomfort myself and showing the path for others to follow, I hope to encourage and inspire them to self-development and improvement of their own. The right path is never the easy path, and PRT fits right in line with this.

I feel more attuned to situations where feedback has been softened for me, where previously, I'd only hear the good parts (who doesn't want to hear how great they are). Before I started resiliency training, I would be defensive - I always had to win. I've been working with the group for over a year.

PRT has changed not only my professional life and strategic thinking; it has also made me a better person all around. I'm grateful for the ability to get out of my head and focus my energy on making positive life changes instead of burning myself out. I have more meaningful interactions with my team and in my personal life. PRT has changed not only my professional life and strategic thinking; it has also made me a better person all around.

On my own, I plateau because I can’t see myself. There is no reflection. I need teammates looking at me... With a coach, we can practice. I need a coach, an expert, someone who has mastered it.

The experience has been life-changing. I’ve improved my management, communication, and leadership skills drastically, and my life has improved qualitatively because of that. We’ve tackled my own emotional hurdles that were holding me back from leading my team to their true potential. I’ve gained both theoretical and tactical “to-dos” from my time in the group.

You’ll need to be willing to open yourself up to get the most out of it, but I couldn’t possibly recommend this highly enough for leaders.

This has been the biggest blessing and game changer for me. The people help me be a better person. They hold me accountable, support me, and (most importantly) they care about me as a person.

To say that it has helped me tremendously would be an understatement. It has transformed homelife and worklife. Homelife in the manner that my wife and I are more transparent and communicate more efficiently saving both time and energy. With my children it has really put “Not holding back” on the forefront of what we are trying to teach them as it pertains to life lessons and how to handle things.

With that being said I feel as though Im no longer worrying/guessing/paranoid about many things with these people as The truth is expected from them and from myself. RAB that was dialed down the most is definitely anxiety with the tremendous waste of energy that coincides with that. Huge Win!

Thanks to friend’s reference, I have the great honor to attend PRT-A training. Within only thirteen weeks, I reflected several crucial RABS with the help of my coach and TP’s co-practice: 1. I’m always right. 2. I’m short-tempered. 3. Because of the nature of my work, I tend to be influenced by halo effect - I don’t accept people and things which are not aligned with my own values and I’m very subjective when dealing with relationships with other people.

With the help of my coach, I’ve gradually learnt to accept some challenges that I was not comfortable with in the first place. Through multiple practices with TPs, I was able to adjust myself, find useful methods, and quickly apply them into my work. I’m surprised by the progress and achievements I’ve made during this training.

It was a self-awareness journey, it helps me to find some RABs which prevent others to provide me feedbacks. Furthermore, a supportive group and an insightful coach brought some different prospective which I have not seen myself in these ways. Thanks for the program to encourage me to be more candid with confidence to speak out my mind, meanwhile, to build the trust in a group.

PRT-A is one of the best expereinces in my work in my life. The PRT training dramaticly improved my awareness on my RABs and helped me dial it down in several ways through the 13 weeks practice. It was like muscle-buidling process and we became stronger along the journey. PRT-A is one of the best expereinces in my work in my life.

I have had a very rewardable experience. I think PRT-A experience is a very important step for me to become a true leader after showing more of my true self and dialing down my RABs, though it is not easy. I am so glad with all the help from my group I finally figured out my motivation to make a change in my life. I have had a very rewardable experience.

The PRT-A forced me to look directly at some patterns in my communication with others. The realization that my defensiveness and avoidance tendencies were slowing me down was significant. More than anything, the practice of providing (& receiving) direct feedback was very helpful & I'm excited to build off of it. I can see these concepts applied directly to my own life, but also could be very useful for the team I coach and the community where I work.

Truth-seeking was the biggest take away. We all want to be direct, so we can get to the REAL issues/topic. My RABs of selfishness and passive aggressive behavior came out quickly during our sessions. This class was a safe space for us to share our individual experiences and receive feedback from group members with no other intention than to help you improve!

PRT training has made a significant impact on my productivity at work. One of my RABS that i wasn't aware of until going through PRT was when I get stressed out or frustrated I tend to go silent & shut down. Just by having more awareness around that has helped me better think through why what I'm struggling with and seek assistance where needed vs trying to do things solo.

Awareness of my RABs has been the biggest thing for me. While I kind of always knew that they existed, I was not always aware of how much they play into my daily actions as well as my decision making processes. Being more aware of my own behaviors has helped me to really try to dial them back. The “fork in the road” comparison hit home for me, so when I feel like I’m coming to a place where I might fall into what is easy (passive aggressive, poor attitude), then I try to stop there and...

It’s definitely not always easy or perfect, but it’s more than I was aware of before joining the group.

it helped me admit to myself some things that were holding me back and helped me work on them and move past them. It was also nice to see others have RABs similar to mine and make me feel like i'm not the only one dealing with challenges in my life. it helped me admit to myself some things that were holding me back and helped me work on them and move past them.

When I first started taking the PRT course, I was a little confused about what it was? Perhaps because of the fact that I have been a consulting instructor for more than ten years, I am still limited to the original training mode and method.

Read more When I first started taking the PRT course, I was a little confused about what it was? Perhaps because of the fact that I have been a consulting instructor for more than ten years, I am still limited to the original training mode and method. As the course continued to deepen, I gradually understood the unique training method of PRT and the message and method it wanted to convey. I have to admit that the PRT course is a challenge for both instructors and students, a brand new experience that breaks through themselves. From a psychological point of view, each of us has four selves. 1. The public me, this is a kind of "I" that you know and everyone knows. 2. Private me, this is the "I" you know yourself but the public doesn't know about. 3, "back me", this is the "me" that others know but I don't understand. 4. "Future me", also known as potential me, this is the "me" I may become in the future. Through the study of the first stage of PRT, I found that it has a very significant role in understanding the "back me". Getting real "feedback" in an effective way and letting us understand a "me" that has been neglected by ourselves for a long time can help us become a better version of ourselves in the future.Through PRT, I learned that some of my subconscious words and behaviors caused me to block the efforts of others to give me the truth.For example, I often say "based on my years of experience". This makes me seem to have some kind of unquestionable correctness. For another example, when I am criticized, I may hit back at the critic with the same example. These are some of my subconscious instinctive reactions. I will now realize that these words and actions prevent others from giving me valuable feedback. Next, I will deliberately practice how to prevent myself from doing similar things. And, when someone asks me for feedback, I know what to say, what I can say, and give as real feedback as possible without having too many interpersonal concerns.

PRT created a safe environment for open communications. Being vulnerable allows us to put true ourselves in front of people. Through the pear couch system and instant direct, sharp feedback, we became more and more aware of our RABs. Now we can choose how to work with others. As social animals, we spend more than 50% of our energy and time thinking about what others think of us. The PRT-A training is an excellent way to open the door to using a specific approach to learn about myself. Also, I... Read more PRT created a safe environment for open communications.

You immediately made it happen when we needed to add a Chinese feedback function.
