The more directly we engage with our Generative Knowledge, the more grounded, centered, and strong we become. When we express this knowledge, we gain a sense that we are on the right path, that we know how to find our way in the world. Even if we are not sure of where we are going or what we want to do, we feel like we can trust ourselves.

Unfortunately, most people have never learned how to recognize their own or others’ Generative Knowledge and experience deep confusion, fragmentation and anxiety as a result.

Dr. Peet's Generative Knowledge trainings and workshops were developed through 10 years of research at the University of Michigan. Through this work, people gain:

• A generative mindset - the capacity to recognize their own and others’ inherent strengths, wholeness and sources of intelligence;

• Generative skills - behaviors they can use to surface, identify and build upon their own and others hidden sources of passion, purpose and motivation; and,

• Daily Generative Practices - a series of small, daily habits people can use in order to connect with their own and others’ generative knowledge.
