4 Big Decisions
The 4 Big Decisions are a fundamental component of our programs, drawing on evidenced-based research and more than 25 years of exceptional outcomes. Here we explain the theory underpinning some of the core tools and concepts in the context of the 4 Big Decisions.
Decide to be happy
Drawing from Positive Psychology we know that identifying one's positive attributes and verbalising them through affirmations improves wellbeing. Using what psychologists call the "best possible self" we improve optimism via a simple visualisation exercise. Acts of Kindness and Gratitude activities heighten one's sense of fortune and can clinically reduce depression.
Decide to goal plan
Rooted in Goal Planning Theory from the school of Motivation, this suite of tools helps participants to set specific and challenging goals that are proven to improve performance. Together with appropriate feedback from coaches this leads to raised aspirations, better organisation skills and a road map for achievement.
Decide to send stars
Drawing from Social Learning Theory we know that the program's Communication Tools are effective in improving relationships and self-image through the "norm of reciprocity". Participants also learn to negotiate win-win conflict resolution solutions via specific tools and techniques.
Decide to grow
Combining Personality Theory, Motivational Theory and Cognitive Behaviour approaches, our coaches help participants to take responsibility for their own outcomes. Breaking the cycle of negative self-belief and using techniques of graded exposure to increasingly step outside their comfort zone, they start to see their future differently and the world sees them more positively.
Generation Thrive has been developed based on The Marshman Foundations’ extensive research and development and draws on psychological theories and concepts including:
Positive Psychology
Cognitive Psychology
Behaviour Therapy
Neuroscience and habit formation
Developmental Psychology
Transformational Learning Theory
Personal Development Theory
Motivational Theory
Philosophy
See the Program Logic
In 2017 the Thrive Program Logic Model model was developed for the Thrive Personal Leadership Program. The structure program logic allows us to define the outcomes, such as improved wellbeing, raised aspirations and employability.
In 2018 we began testing the model's assumptions to determine if the program achieves its intended outcomes. They do.
