Attitude, Innovation and
Achievement:
Keys to Business and Personal Success
AiA
Classic® takes a quantum leap forward as it is ‘reinvented’
for 21st Century employees and employers!
AiA is the classic original with a 50 year
proven track record of results and effectiveness for permanent
and lasting personal and professional development and change.
Inscape’s AiA Classic, formerly known as Adventures
in Attitudes, led the way for the entire human
resource development seminar industry and all its current
day derivatives.
Developed
in 1957 by Bob Conklin, it is the largest selling
and most widely attended learning system for employees,
managers, salespeople, supervisors and executives. What Dale
Carnegie did in public speaking, AiA has done for a much
deeper and broader range of learning and skill development
within organizations – improving the individual
to improve the bottom line.
What
Do Employers Want? In a 2006 skills gap
analysis, employers ranked the top two employee development
priorities as PROBLEM SOLVING and COMMUNICATION
SKILLS. They also identified an increasing demand
for EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE COMPETENCIES.
Futurist Magazine’s research identified that in
this century, employers will place more emphasis on skills
that cannot be automated.
Why
is AiA unique? The process addresses the thoughts
and attitudes that generate behavior, action, performance,
and results. AiA addresses the cause underlying
the problem and creates an opportunity for self-discovery
and self-awareness, leading to more effective communication,
problem solving, team interaction and individual success.
Today we call this Emotional
Intelligence. 
AiA has been attended by more than 5 million people
worldwide. The 30-hour process is broken into
20 flexible modules which can be delivered in multiple
ways. It has been used as an off-the-shelf,
do-it-yourself packaged development system
in organizational training, corporate leadership development,
colleges and continuing education, employee development
programs, retreats, and corporate settings. It can be adapted
to meet the needs of any group.
AiA
Classic has been built on a foundation of self-discovery,
using small group interaction, shared
personal experiences, individual and group exercises, and
facilitator led discussion. Throughout the process, participants
move through the following ten high-involvement
areas critical to increasing emotional intelligence,
enhancing self-awareness, listening and communicating effectively,
facilitating and adapting to change, strengthening positive
attitudes, and improving relationships for greater personal
and professional success.
