PER-K™

PER-K is a user-friendly way to rewrite the software of the mind in order to change the printout of your performance. Robert M. Williams, M.A., Originator of PER-K

Our Beliefs Establish the Limits of What We Can Achieve!
Change Your Beliefs… Change Your Performance!

Even well-trained, motivated and committed individuals often sabotage themselves because the subconscious mind harbors beliefs that are contrary to success.

Performance Kinesiology (PER-K™ - pronounced perk) is an accelerated process of self-discovery, change, and success. It is a proven process that is easy to learn, simple to use and can dramatically increase personal and professional performance and effectiveness. PER-K is a unique blend of various tools for change, drawing on years of scientific research in brain dominance theory, and utilizing principles from the emerging field of “mind/body psychology.” It is an easy and effective way to change self-defeating behaviors by changing the self-sabotaging beliefs that drive them…usually in minutes.

Have you ever wondered why many skills-based training and motivational programs produce limited or temporary changes? Why, after the initial optimism and excitement, are you back to business as usual? What’s the missing link between insight, training and performance?

If you have attended a few "positive thinking" or "motivational" training sessions you probably realize that inspiration, positive thinking and motivation alone seldom create lasting changes. To make real improvements and then sustain them over time, you must access and transform the underlying beliefs and attitudes that sabotage peak performance.

The PER-K change techniques are a significant departure from the conventional "insight, will power, positive thinking, motivational approach" to shifting attitudes and beliefs. It relies on the natural biofeedback mechanisms and innate wisdom of the body/mind system to affect change directly at the subconscious level.

FACT: Your conscious mind processes about 2 thousand bits of information per second. Your subconscious mind processes about 4 billion bits in that same second! Over 99.99995% of the power of your mind is in the subconscious.

Which processing capability do you use? So many of us run our lives and our performance on 2,000 bits instead of 4 billion bits.

The difference between creating ordinary results and extraordinary performance, success, and powerful results in any area of your life is aligning your subconscious beliefs (the 4 billion bits) with your conscious goals (the 2,000 bits). Your subconcious mind is your ultimate power center...far beyond insight and willpower, which relies on the lowest processing capacity your mind is capable of and easily overridden by the subconscious. To have a new behavior mobilized and then sustained over time, you must access and transform the underlying subconscious beliefs and attitudes that drive the behavior.

The question is: HOW do we access and change the underlying beliefs and attitudes in order to sustain real and lasting changes?

The answer lies at the level below our conscious awareness known as the subconscious - the storehouse for past experiences, attitudes, and beliefs. Your performance is a direct result of your beliefs. These beliefs--usually subconscious--are the result of life-long programming and can dramatically sabotage your performance without you even knowing it! Even well trained, motivated and committed individuals often sabotage themselves because the subconscious mind harbors beliefs that are contrary to success.

Fortunately, the subconscious mind can be accessed in a way similar to the storage memory in a personal computer. PER-K works like a “mental keyboard” - a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind that is simple, direct and verifiable. This method of communication enables you to identify the underlying, limiting beliefs and then "edit" and "update" them, so they align with the principles and philosophies that produce lasting successful behaviors, actions and results. In this way, you get the power of your subconscious mind and your beliefs working FOR you rather than against you.

PER-K is a user-friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind in order to change the printout of your performance. Discover and experience this proven process that is easy to learn, simple to use, and can dramatically increase personal and professional effectiveness and success by producing lasting behaviors, actions, and results.

This unique process is easy to learn, simple to use and can dramatically increase personal and professional effectiveness.

Performance Kinesiology (PER-K)
for Business Applications

PER-K is a revolutionary technique with a proven track record that has been used in business applications since 1990. It has been presented in the context of stress management, team building, sales performance, visioning, and communications training. The first formal presentation to the business community at large, took place at the American Association of Training and Development’s international conference in New Orleans in 1992 by the Originator of PER-K, Robert M. Williams, M.A. The session was attended by over 270 people. As a result of this presentation, business training opportunities were secured with Continental Airlines, the U.S. Forest Service and Gulf Oil/Canada.

Organizations don’t change until people change! PER-K deals with the often unrecognized impact of the subconscious mind. It is the storehouse for core beliefs that direct our behaviors and dramatically influence performance both personally and professionally. With PER-K, you make direct contact with the subconscious mind, identify beliefs that may be sabotaging you and transform them into beliefs that support you. Whole brain thinking creates a receptive state for enhancing personal mastery, releasing emotional blocks to peak performance and fostering systems thinking. The process is simple, direct and verifiable.

Our personal beliefs direct our behaviors and consequently limit or expand our capabilities. In a very real sense, there is no such thing as organizational behavior, only individual behavior. Whole brain thinking is vital to optimizing an individual’s performance and potential. Its greatest impact is in the area of personal and organizational change.

“What distinguishes people with high levels of personal performance is that they have developed a clear channel of communication between their conscious and subconscious minds and between the left and right hemispheres of their brain.”
Robert M. Williams, M.A. Originator of PER-K

PER-K is an individual and organizational change modality whose time has come. The time is right now for PER-K in your organization. Organizations are “down sizing”, “right sizing”, “reengineering”, becoming “learning organizations”, doing “total quality management”, instituting “principle centered leadership”, and in general are wondering why all their efforts aren’t producing better results! It is time to explain why good training, good intentions and motivation just aren’t enough.

The missing link in all these approaches is the subconscious mind. Successful communications training for the 21st century will have to include communication techniques for the subconscious. PER-K is uniquely positioned to provide that training. Both Peter Senge, in his book The Fifth Discipline, as well as Steven Covey in his book Principle Centered Leadership, allude to the importance of the subconscious mind in improving performance and in changing existing business paradigms. While more and more people are talking about the problem, no one seems to be offering viable solutions. This environment of “a problem without a solution” lays the foundation for the introduction of PER-K into the equation.

PER-K is designed to complement rather than compete with or replace other skills based training. For example, PER-K does not replace typical sales training which would include how to prospect, do a needs assessment, or close a sale. It will, however, help sales people use those skills at an optimal level, without the usual self-sabotaging thought patterns that generate self-sabotaging behaviors. It can be used to support a company’s vision/value statement, by internalizing the statement at a personal/subconscious level.

Organizations don’t change until people change. In other words, the energy and spirit of any organization is a product of the collective attitudes, the core values and operative beliefs of the employees who comprise the organization. Unless individuals are willing to recognize and review their own beliefs and values as they relate to the organizations goals and values, lasting change is unlikely at best. No matter how well intentioned and willing people may be consciously to change, when the actions or behaviors required to make the necessary changes are not supported subconsciously, the result will usually be mixed, short-lived, disappointing or even counterproductive! Often people blame each other, company management or the philosophy of the program itself for the poor results rather than recognizing that their own self-defeating behaviors are the result of subconscious resistance to change.

PER-K™ Training Series

Contemporary business experts agree that in order to be more competitive and profitable in today’s world marketplace, organizations need to shift paradigms. The key to shifting the organizational paradigm is the ability to shift personal paradigms... to transform personal beliefs, attitudes, and values.

PER-K is a “missing link” to productivity and success. It is a way to increase the effectiveness of existing training and getting the most out of the training dollars already invested. It is a kind of “insurance policy” for training programs not yet implemented by an organization. PER-K will dramatically increase the likelihood that a new training program will be sucessful because it will help align subconscious beliefs with the behavioral goals of the new program.

Changing individual behavior is similar to rewriting the software of a personal computer. Just as you are able to change the printout of a computer by changing the software, you can change personal behavior by changing beliefs.

Our beliefs determine our actions and our actions determine our results!
