It should be noted that there is unlikely to be ‘one best way’ and module designs has drawn from many sources. Some provided a partial
background or blueprint of expertise in the field (e.g. leadership, coaching, sports, wealth, meditation, arts, etc.) many integrated with
human capital development (e.g. emotional intelligence, accelerated learning, team-building, creativity and innovation, change
management, learning styles, cognitive research and psychometrics) using up-to-date knowledge, easy to follow psycholinguistic guidelines,
and the designers own years of extensive pioneering, innovating and field-testing experience applied largely in a business context and to a
lesser extent sports (especially golf), business and private psychotherapy.
