AiA Classic Participant's Manual (Replacing Adventures in Attitudes)

For more than 50 years, individuals have raved about the positive effects that Adventures in Attitudes® has had on their lives. In honor of its 50th Anniversary, a new edition, called AiA Classic™ has been released, returning to the original process and power the author, Bob Conklin, brought to the world in 1957. It’s a mind-expanding experience that helps motivate people from the inside out. Each of the 74 projects leads groups through exercises that cause participants to focus on important questions, such as:

• How do I handle people problems at home and at work?
• How do I solve my problems? Make decisions?
• What is my work and what are my attitudes toward work? Do they need to be changed?

Note: If you are looking of the older Adventures in Attitudes Participants Guidebook, that AiA Classic replaces contact us and order by phone.

AiA Classic is a strategic, systematic, deliberately constructed learning process that:

• Is founded on Principles and a conceptual framework of thought, attitudes, behavior and change;
• Utilizes a unique Process of facilitated and guided, interactive, self-directed, and experiential group learning;
• Is driven by designed Projects that focus conversations and discussions in ever-increasing complexity, utilizing the modalities of group dynamics and group interaction;
• Is facilitated by a Presenter who guides the process using a structured, disciplined model and a sequential set of content materials in a Facilitation role, not as a trainer, teacher, lecturer, speaker, mediator, or discussion leader; and
• Is learned, used, and applied by Participants who engage and interact at a self-selected level, in a safe, stimulating environment, to learn the skills defined by employers as most needed, and to learn behaviors known to be those that improve the quality of their lives, intrapersonally and interpersonally.
