Advanced Behavioral Consultants Offers Training in "Why Disaster is Good for Business"

New Orleans, LA, May 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Advanced Behavioral Consultants announces their 2010 Summer Training Series in NLP Coaching and Hypnosis. This training series is designed to give people the tools and skills they need to be successful in the challenging times we are going through. This training series assists business owners, sales staff, managers, and other individuals in the business world to understand the key points of success or failure in the current challenging business environment.

According to Shannon Sumrall, the lead trainer for Advanced Behavioral Consultants, "With the non-stop bad news of the oil spill in the Gulf, the recession, and terrorist fears it seems that the world as we've known it is about to end. Well you would be right… except that it is probably not in the way you think. I'm here to tell you that chaotic events can lead to some of the most innovative and productive times for business."

Sumrall continued, "In my work I get to see chaotic events happen on an individual and business level all the time. People experience the chaotic things that happen in their lives and they either become much more successful in their lives or they descend further into maladaptive behaviors. Business organizations meet chaos by either adapting and becoming more successful in their market or they go out of business."

This actually seems to be an accurate description of what many individuals and companies are experiencing today. Sumrall explained that the trainings at Advanced Behavioral Consultants make use of a process that has been well explained by Nobel Prize winning scientist Ilya Prigogine, who describes how complex systems evolve and grow. Prigogine described a pivotal moment of change as a “bifurcation point” where a system (like a business or person) either totally breaks down and ceases to exist as an organized system or, more commonly, makes a spontaneous leap to reorganize at a higher level that can handle all the chaos that was too much for the old system.

Sumrall stated, "I have experienced this process first hand living through Hurricane Katrina and losing nearly everything that I owned. Within a month I had reopened my business and I doubled my income that year. There are specific skills that I applied to achieve this leap in functioning and that I teach to all my successful clients. These skills can be easily learned to take you or your business to a higher level instead of breaking down in our current chaotic times."
