Alignment Curriculum
Welcome to the course portion of the ultimate soft-skills training program. Our program is designed for maximum development of the target skills and proficiencies. Therefore, our courses progress from building the most fundamental skills to those that enhance the highest levels of insights and enable you to live in full alignment with your innate potential and in pure bliss.
For our corporate clients, when you have each member of your talent force fully super-charged and focused… Can you imagine?
The value of soft skills development at the level we are offering here at The Alignment Portal is, we assure you, as yet unmeasured. No company has achieved this level of alignment within their personnel, so no measurement of this level of alignment has yet been possible. Let’s make some history here, folks!
Please remember that this program is designed by well-experienced doctoral educators. We are building proficiencies step-by-step. You can trust our process.
Method
Each short lesson covers one single point. Why? Because, if you read an article with 20 points in it, how many of those points are you going to remember? Maybe 1 or 2, or maybe none, right? But if you get one insightful thought for the day, how many will you remember? Hopefully, though not always, just the one. If you can contemplate one thing that will make your life better, every day, guess what? Your life will get better!
Please do not rush this process. It will be tempting to get through several videos in one sitting because they are so short. This is exactly what we do NOT want you to do. The videos are short for a reason–so you can watch one a day without it intruding heavily on your life. They have one point per video for a reason–so you can focus on that point and only that point, and hopefully contemplate that one point periodically throughout the day. This way, it sinks in.
That said, it is possible to take two courses simultaneously and do one lesson per course per day. This will give you two very different things to think about throughout the day. It’s not recommended because it gets to feeling like pressure at that point, but if you insist.
Assessment
Our courses do not have quizzes or tests. We are interested in your ability to apply these concepts to your daily life, not regurgitate what you just heard. So, every lesson has a short task. These tasks are critical for you to get the most from the course so please do them. Most will take under 60 seconds and ask you to merely think about something for the moment and, ideally, for the day. If you feel the need to study something more than once, feel free to listen to the lesson again, of course. Let us know if you still have questions. We do have monthly assessments so you can witness–and celebrate!–your progress. We have a personal assessment for each individual’s own information, and our corporate subscribers also receive a monthly assessment because, you know, visible progress on paper justifies the expenditure. The shifts will be obvious though–your corporate decision-makers will know the program is working as they walk through their halls and participate in their meetings. In time, work product will be visibly improved. Results are palpable, and quick. But we offer the assessment anyway, in case anyone needs the paper proof.
Course Order
Courses are meant to be taken in order because they build upon each other. If you would like a different order, please contact us to discuss. We will happily accommodate if it makes sense to do so.
It’s fine to repeat the program. These insights are very rich. When you return to them again later, you will understand them differently. Also, some things just don’t really stick the first time through. Give them another go and you will get much more out of them. Also, as a practical matter, there is a ton of information stored in these lessons. You’re going to forget some of this. Honestly, you can take these courses again and again, and learn something every time. You may repeat courses of any level at any time.
Level 1. Foundations
Strong Self-Esteem
Every single human could benefit from stronger self-esteem. The 53 lessons in this course strengthen your self-esteem and give you a pathway and tools for continued strengthening over time.
With stronger self-esteem, you are happier, more at peace, and have better social intelligence.
53 lessons
Emotional Intelligence
Our level of emotional intelligence (EI or EQ) may be more important than IQ when it comes to our work performance. Emotional intelligence is learning to be responsible with our emotions and their expression.
Proudly, our course dives much more deeply into this topic than other EI courses do. Along with a rich discussion of latest observations in EI and EI for leadership, we’ve added emotional management (governed by perception, which we can control) and emotional frequencies. We’ve also added a full section (14 lessons) on anger.
This very robust course will help you a lot. It will help you understand emotions, where they come from, and what you can do about them in yourself and others. It will especially help you with better understanding anger.
48 lessons
Intuitive Living
Your intuition will never steer you wrong. It resides in your right brain hemisphere. Learn to access your intuition to help you with all decisions large and small. Focus on intuition for decision-making, time management, and dietary choices.
8 lessons
Quiet the Ego. Or Choke on It
The ego is useful and important, and also problematic. In this course, we recognize the ego within us–and observe how it gets in the way of our own progress. Learn to quiet the ego with the insights in this course. Then you can consciously activate the ego when you need to.
11 lessons
Ethics
We pull content from the scientific literature, ethics journals, for this course on ethics.
Strengthen your personal ethics with a few slight perspective shifts, and everything else will follow suit.
Path to Peace
Achieving inner peace is really not that difficult once we learn how to get out of our own way. There are certain things we need to do to achieve inner peace, such as forgiveness.
15 lessons
Assertiveness
Assertiveness is a practice. Our self-esteem has something to do with it, along with other factors. The course discusses various elements of assertiveness and provides scenarios for practice.
Small Group Dynamics & Decision-Making
Small groups are part of our lives. Defined as minimum 3 people, small groups have certain dynamics. Decision-making in small groups also has certain dynamics. As you are a member of several small groups yourself, you know this to be true if you think about it. Course discusses group dynamics so that learners can be more comfortable and successful in groups.
Cognitive Load Management
When you want your communications to be clear, you need to pay attention to how you are presenting your information and keep in mind the cognitive load capacity of your audience members.
Cognitive load management is why we organize our presentations into 3 main points rather than presenting all 20 points as equally important, even though they actually are equally important. It’s why we use shorter sentences and simpler vocabulary. The point is to not overwhelm the audience.
Stress Management with Breathwork
Using the breath to manage stress is an ancient technique. We’ll bring you some of that ancient wisdom and mastery in this course so you can use these techniques to your own advantage.
Level 2. Know Thy Self
Forgiveness
We step into the next level with a course on forgiveness. An inability to forgive is to continue to punish the self for others’ hurtful behavior. It gets in your way–of everything.
Course discusses why and how to forgive.
Conscious Thoughts and Beliefs
Your well-being depends heavily on your thoughts and beliefs.
Let’s focus on that and change some of those tapes so you can live a happier life.
Follow Your Truth
Each of us has our own inner truth. We can’t always find it.
The courses teaches you how to hear your own truth and follow it.
Mental Well-Being: To Peace & Happiness
It’s not others who make us happy or at peace. It is ourselves and only ourselves.
Course digs into mental processes to generate shifts into mental habits that deliver peace and happiness into our lives.
Limiting Beliefs
We all have glass ceilings we ourselves have placed there, partly through the influences of important people in our lives. Let’s identify them and eliminate them so we can soar!
Meditation
Meditation will solve all of your problems. Meditation will make all of your dreams come true. Meditation will heal the body and the brain.
Different meditations serve different purposes. Let us delve into the power of what we can accomplish through the right meditation practices.
Importance of Solitude
If you don’t spend time in solitude, your life will be off balance.
How to Be Quiet
Silence.
Silence means more than just not speaking. And it is critical for you to reach your inner depths that allow you to soar to higher heights.
Apologizing
We all mess up sometimes.
We also all get blamed for things that are not our fault.
And, things happen out of our control, but which we need to take accountability for.
Learn when, why, and how to apologize.
Trauma
Trauma happens to us all. It is the experience of something horrifying. If your mom was 30 minutes late picking you up from kindergarten, and you got scared she wasn’t coming, that was a trauma. We all have a bunch of it. Trauma leaves enduring wounds.
We have to heal from trauma’s wounds. If we don’t, we can’t really move forward. It definitely holds us back, in fear and anxiety.
Friends, that is no way to live.
This course does not substitute for mental health treatments. It merely discusses trauma so we can develop a better understanding of it since it is, after all, absolutely everywhere and affects us all. Course also offers some insights for healing.
Emotional Manipulation
We’ve all been on the receiving end of someone trying to make us do something that serves them by making us feel bad. That’s emotional manipulation.
Course discusses topic in depth, with lessons on multiple common emotional manipulation tactics. Being aware of them helps you not fall victim to them.
Elevate Your Vibe
When you elevate your vibration, everything in life gets better and easier. And I do mean everything.
There are many ways to elevate the vibe. Course discusses multiple methods, advising to use them all.
Dietary Basics
Most of us don’t know squat about nutrition. Not really.
Course covers nutrition essentials so you can optimize your health and vitality.
Level 3. Finding Your Power
How to Move Energy
I hate to tell you this, but we continue to pack around old energy from our difficult experiences until we consciously clear it. That old energy shows up as debris in our energy fields, and it gets in the way of us being our fullest and best selves.
Course covers multiple ways to move energy.
12 lessons
Chakras & Energy Fields
Chakras are main energy centers in our bodies. We have 7.
The study of chakras and the chakra system dates back at least 5,000 years. The words used to talk about these principles are in a language no longer even spoken–Sanskrit.
Chakras are fascinating. When they are in balance, everything runs smoothly and healthily in our lives. When they are unbalanced or blocked, we have some problems in certain life areas associated with the chakra affected. If unaddressed in the chakra and left uncleared, these blockages can become physical masses, sometimes cancerous.
Chakra Clearing
Clearing our chakras is critical for living a fully clear and illuminated life. Our intuition will tell us where to go and what to do to reach our highest potential, but the gunk in our chakras gets in the way first of accurately hearing those wisdoms, and second in allowing us to take the necessary action.
Let’s clear this out.
Conscious Leadership
There is a lot to keep in mind when you want to lead with total consciousness. If you stay in tune with your highest self, you will be fine.
Conscious Productivity
Enhance your productivity even further by bringing full consciousness to the tasks you need to accomplish. Learn to work with your body’s natural energetic cycles throughout the day. Pay attention to your brain and body conditions. Be conscious about how your exert yourself. If you drive yourself to exhaustion, you’re not much good to anyone. Stay conscious in your work, and achieve optimal productivity.
Aligning Your Power
This course leads you directly to discovering and embracing your life purpose and fulfilling your life potential.
Science of Happiness
Happiness results from well-being. When we are well, we have the capacity to be happy.
Course covers many facets of life that contribute to well-being and happiness.
Achieving Abundance
Spoiler: It’s a mindset.
Living Your Dreams
It sounds simple. And it is!
Let’s first be sure your dreams are a good fit with your other values and life priorities. Then we’ll carve a path to making them come true!
Manifestation
When everything else is all lined up, yes, you can manifest your desires.
If you’re not manifesting what you want, it’s because existing thought patterns and emotional scars are in the way.
We’ll talk about all of it. It’s important to be able to have what you want in this life.
