Living with an Outward Mindset™ Training Series

Have you ever considered how you are getting in someone’s way or how you might have added to the challenges, trials, burdens, or pains of that someone? Take a moment.

The purpose of this email is to announce our Living with an Outward Mindset™ monthly series for the next 14 months.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31, verse 25

Elk Mountain Girls Academy is proud to partner with the Arbinger Institute in its global initiative to turn the world outward. As you know, the Arbinger Institute authored Leadership and Self Deception, Anatomy of Peace, and The Outward Mindset.Seeing beyond ourselves

All of our students and staff and many of our current and graduate parents have received the Living with an Outward Mindset™ workshop training. As a part of our program services, Elk Mountain Girls Academy will be offering a weekend offering of the Living with an Outward Mindset™ workshop each month going forward. We will call these training “2-day Living with an Outward Mindset™ workshops”.

Prior attendees of this workshop said this about their experience:

“Something I could do immediately that helps.”
“Loved it. Started using it the same day.”
“I love that my daughter is getting this training.”
“I obviously need to get more curious to turn my chair. And, I will. Thank you!”Over 2 Million Copies Sold
“I didn’t want to do it, but I am so happy I did.”
“That story about Chris and his Father was incredible! It changed me and opened my heart to forgiveness that I am struggling within my own family.”
“I am in a lot of collusions. I now know how to get myself out of it.”
“I have a greater sense and desire to be helpful toward my daughter and my family, and I will be.”
“It’s amazing to think of how many times I betray myself. Now I can do something about it.”

The expectation is that every family (moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, guardians, etc.) will attend at least one (1) Living with an Outward Mindset™ workshop before their EMA student graduates.

Each 2-day Living with an Outward Mindset™ workshop covers topics like

  • Why Mindset Matters
  • Self-Betrayal
  • Collusion
  • Boxes We Carry
  • Two Mindsets
  • Influence Pyramid
  • The Outward Mindset Pattern (S.A.M.)
  • Resolving Collusion

Dr. C. Terry Warner, the founder of the Arbinger Institute, set out 40 years ago to solve the age-old problem of self-betrayal…where a person has a sense and desire to be helpful but chooses not to be and the domino effect of the distortion that follows. When we self-betray, we create the world around us that justifies our decisions.

This workshop is about understanding self-betrayal and self-deception and about turning your chair towards a better way. If we all can act on our innate sense and desire to be helpful, imagine how the world that we are seeing will change for the better.

EMA is so thankful and grateful to have invested in becoming an Arbinger certified facility. It has been a gamechanger for us, and at the exact right moment. Elk Mountain Girls Academy is even more thankful and grateful to have shared this material with your daughter and to be sharing the Outward Mindset with you.

Best regards and many blessings,

Jason Thielbahr
