Contemporary society requires continual learning throughout life, much of which will be self-directed and thus self-motivated. This requires life-long learners to be not only strategic and skillful learners, but also self-aware, purposeful and highly motivated. Yet, procrastination, disengagement, passivity, imposter syndrome, burnout, and quiet quitting are widespread and apparently increasing obstacles to continued growth. To address the root causes of these issues, VA grounds its approach in the recognition that the most powerful motivations are meaning, purpose and the pursuit of one’s own self-worth. It is these motivations which our courses both tap into and cultivate in order to empower positive, self-directed behavioral change and deep engagement. Our offerings cultivate and build upon the transformative power of self-knowledge, intrinsic and internal motivations, personal meaning and purpose in educational and workplace achievement and holistic flourishing. Every course equips our learners with theoretically sophisticated, research-based, comprehensive knowledge as the foundation for purposeful use of proven practical strategies, skills and tools. Our platform design incorporates unique instructional features which actively engage users in higher order cognitive processes which are essential to flexible, transferable know-how. Ultimately, our courses and materials empower our clients for self-directed change and continued adaptation, purposeful growth and meaningful achievement.
