Please do take a read folks, long but worth it. “A psychopath might be more likely to save your life” And “The guilt of not feeling guilty” Are just a couple of the many fascinating points raised. This relates to some key elements in the OHP courses at DARKSWAN, the social ecosphere, evolutionary held traits, self awareness (body scan) and indeed the uses of our inner voice. Thanks Dr Dan Pronk it lasted my pretty low concentration time as my pre frontal cortex is taking a kicking at the moment 🤔 Andy McCann Steve Eaton PhD MBE #optimisinghumanperformance DARKSWAN DNA Definitive

Many years ago on a military survival course, our instructor lamented (in a broad West-Country accent) to us aspiring warriors, that we need to be taught certain skills because "... kids don't play in the trees no more." DARKSWAN's approach is to use a range of immersive environments to deliver something special: a safe, nurturing, challenging and inclusive program. The benefit are wide, from building personal confidence and resilience to leadership development. Al and Dan's team bring out the best in anyone, whatever their abilities. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
