- for new, unique, FUN and extraordinarily effective self help resources!
For more than 50 years, Rick Whitehead has been helping people THINK, COMMUNICATE and ACHIEVE
As his "legacy" Rick, the founder of Impetus Training, is now providing uniquely effective resources to help people
“do it themselves”!
be “intelligently selfish” to identify
and prioritise
ways you can
(and should)
reach your true
POTENTIAL

thinking
Rick believes in SELF help; he asks questions without providing answers which forces people to THINK about (and laugh at) themselves, ideally using his ingenious new book of
72 questions “THINK ABOUT IT”
50 years of DOING and LEARNING
Rick's quirky approach includes him teaching individuals from over 40 different countries to say out loud in a Liverpudlian accent his trademark phrase "share care communicate". And many individuals over the years, because of his refreshingly different approach, have suggested that he "should write a book". Now he has done - six times and counting! For insight into Rick's and colleagues' breadth of experience see Case Studies.
LEARNING and LAUGHING
In all his years as a trainer and coach, Rick has focussed on helping people ACHIEVE and that they learn best by DOING, rather than being “lectured at” (they are awake and having fun!) So he has applied the same principles to his legacy! All books contain questionnaires, checklists, steps to achievement, case studies and guides on how to APPLY principles.
THE UNIVERSITY OF LIFE
Though not an academic himself, Rick's practical approach has augmented theoretical learning from many higher education establishments, especially postgraduate courses, including the University of Cambridge MPhil ISMM and (his favourite client ever) the University of Trinidad and Tobago!

To help you THINK and get you in the mood for Rick’s style of self help, complete the questionnaire below YOUR PERFECT BALANCE
THINK ABOUT IT what you, as an individual, most really VALUE, even if your current circumstances are holding you back;
consider things like: work, social, family, friends, neighbours, nature, the planet, your community (your football team!) etc;
After you have thought about what IS important to you - score out of 10 to compare what YOU need/want to improve in these 6 areas:
1. projection ____ 2. inter-personal skills ____ 3. knowledge ____ 4. qualifications ____ 5. behaviour ____ 6. energy ____
AND... if you buy and study the book “THINK ABOUT IT” it will help you THINK even more about what YOU want and need for YOUR perfect balance - AND it will unavoidably be identifying WHAT YOU NEED TO DO - to achieve it !
"The best way to diffuse an argument is to apologise to the other person - even when they are wrong!" - THINK ABOUT IT!
