A Quick StoryA man once approached me after I had given a talk in a beautiful venue in the Middle East.Andy, he asked, Is it possible for me to read someones thoughts?Do you have someone in mind? I replied. The man looked down. Someone close to me he offered (I reckon it was probably his wife).Jack (I read his name badge), I have a method that works nearly every time I use it to find out what someone is thinking Jack looked up, raised eyebrows, expectant. I paused and said slowlyI ask them, Jack, I ask them! Jack opened and closed his mouth, frowned then slowly looked up as a grin formed on his face. He nodded and walked awaySOMETIMES THINGS ARE A LITTLE EASIER THAN YOU MIGHT IMAGINE!Andy Edwards is an international speaker and widely published author, who\'s been teaching relationship and soft skills to companies and individuals for over 25 years.

Bold claims indeed however, any and all are entirely feasible with the right awareness and approach.Andys story of developing the Yoo approachBack in 1990 Andy himself was in a bit of a mess. Unemployed for two years, no real friends a failing marriage, his family homeless at one point; he didnt think things could get any worse.Then, on November 6th 1991, things got MUCH worse.A personal tragedy (every parents worst nightmare), showed Andy what it was like to be at the very bottom of lifes barrel. He takes over the story:Well, over the following few years, I grieved, reflected a lot. I read a lot. I learned a lot Even went on a couple of personal development courses. I now completely understand (from a psychological perspective) exactly what I was going through but not at the time! Unsurprisingly my marriage finally failed. It dawned on me that I needed to effectively reinvent myself.And, in doing so, I started experimenting in what I could do to make a difference in my life I initially thought it was about money. However I was wrong. After exactly a year of trial and experimentation, I decided to make a specific effort to study and practice just THREE particular areas.More by luck than judgement I believe I got these three things absolutely right.It is those three areas that have made fundamental differences in my life such that, these days, I can claim to be a very different person.People still meet me and call me Lucky for what I have. But I know better. They didnt see me back in the early 90s!! Yeah Luck may play its part but I tell you, the Yoo approach, for me, has been the Luck Generator. And its simple to learn!The three areas of studyAndys successful Personal Development approach (which he now calls Yoo) boils down to three interrelated areas:1. Self awareness to build esteem and confidence2. Understanding others to build and maintain (even repair) relationships3. Personal resilience to face (or create) important changes in our livesThe Yoo course covers these three areas showing how each is interrelated. You literally cant address ONE without affecting the other two.Contents and overviewAfter an introduction you get an immediate opportunity to Self-select your personality type based on descriptions on a set of colour cards. You end up with a Colour Order to which you can refer as you learn more about yourself and other people during the course.Then its time to understand the underpinning psychology starting with Hippocrates and some pretty gross-out medicinal practices, through to Carl Jung, one of the Fathers of modern psychology.We learn that our fundamental, psychological differences are based on just a few preferences and traits. Once we know what these are, we can start to recognise such traits in real life through observing our own and others behaviours.All well and good. However, we need to also understand what happens to our behaviour on a BAD day. The answer will surprise you because Bad day behaviour is directly related to Good day behaviour and we find out exactly how.Bear in mind that, throughout the course, there are downloadable exercises and information sheets to help you apply your new-found learning.Next up is the four Rs. A simple model to help us understand how a relationship develops and why it has to happen in a particular order. Here, we also examine whether you want to kill me or have babies with me! This is because we are still subject to primal human reactions even though, these days, political correctness demands we largely keep these things to ourselves!Now is the time to review the colour energies to be able to read others. We look at typical Body language, Tone and likely Content of speech. We even have the basic motto for each type. From this its a short hop to a fascinating model (Created by the author Gary Chapman) called the 5 Love languages. Theres no better insight into your significant others preferences.Emotional intelligence (or EQ) marks our next stop. The basic components of EQ speak of self-awareness and understanding others, so its a no brainer as part of the Yoo course. We also explore Psychological Payoffs which can often be our unconscious barriers to making the changes we want to make in our lives.By the end of this coursePeople will be drawn to you and they wont know really know whyYou will have the knack of being able to read someone almost instantaneouslyYour Communication with others will improve misunderstandings dropYou will be far more self-accepting and confident in who you areYou will find it easier to forgive or at least understand why people behave in negative waysYou may become more tolerant and yet more assertiveYou will be able to anticipate how certain people will react to certain situationsYou might even find out what people say about you when youre not there!And thats just for starters it all depends on how you apply your learning and in what context.Who this course is for:Those who work, play, meet and interact with other people on a daily basis (at work you might be in sales, teaching, management, professional services, a therapist, hospitality, customer services or the caring professions. Or simply a member of a team).Not suitable for those wanting an advanced academic qualification in psychology.People looking for the most accessible, practical and easiest elements of psychology to apply to their daily lives.Testimonials for Andy and the Yoo materialWorking with the Yoo process has been a voyage of discovery, learning more about myself than I ever imagined.
