"How did a busy Division Manager become able 
to draw out defensive interviewees to tell him
crucial facts they never intended to reveal?"

Yes – one of the effects of the Harrison Assessments questioning method is the way that it rapidly builds trust and openness, and you may already have witnessed a glimpse of just how much openness can be generated. 

If you're ready to advance your skill to the next level, let us know by registering your interest now - there is no obligation at this stage, we just want to know if you'd like to hear more about the Expert Training when it's scheduled.  

"Hmmm, sounds interesting, but what is this Expert Training about?"

If you’ve been using Harrison Assessments position suitability and Paradox reports for a while, you are probably fluent at making accurate assessments of fit by now.  You may also be starting to ask new questions that those reports don’t fully address.  Such as

• How can I look at more factors beyond the direct assessment of job fit, to assess fit with the boss, the team, and the cultural environment?
• Are there more subtle measures that do not show up on the Paradox Graph? 
• How do I get more detail to flesh out some of the more general Traits that are particularly important to my environment? 
• Are there other factors to look at that would support coaching and development?

You may even be finding that your interviewees are more and more comfortable sharing their private hopes and fears with you, and wondering what to do with these situations in a work context. 

If so, you’re right: there is a way to handle all of those. 

In my  personal experience, that was the stage at which I myself went through the Expert Training with Dan.  Of course, being the way I am, I sat down in the Expert Training feeling I had really started to know HA in depth – after all, hadn’t I already done more with HA than anyone else in Hong Kong?  Wasn’t I already the ‘go-to’ authority?  I was feeling cocky, but within seconds of starting to speak, Dan had swept away my preconceptions and I’d was back in a wonderful sense of ‘beginner’s mind’ that has continued for years afterwards as I learn depths I had never expected!  

Looking deeper at the impact of Enjoyment-Performance – Paradox – the psychological defense mechanism – and practicing enhanced skills of communication and development, gives you tremendous leverage in the workplace and beyond. 

How does that impact my business / work?

Whether you are

• a manager responsible for the performance of a team, or
• you are a professional trainer or coach responsible for the development of others,

the ability to rapidly pinpoint the essence of a person’s motivation is one of the most powerful levers you can develop and enhance. 

Studying HA in more detail sets a ball rolling that continues under its own momentum, as far as we can tell indefinitely, as valuable patterns of communication and thought become self-supporting and find their place in our natural style. 

Who should consider HA Expert Training and why?

By the way – you need to know the HA Expert Training is ONLY open to those who have already completed the 1 day HA Accreditation Training and have live experience of using Paradox and Position Suitability reports. 

If that’s you, the Expert Training opens the door to give you a whole new understanding and a powerful set of skills that you can use during

• Evaluating the finalists for selection
• Interviewing
• Coaching and development
• Training needs analysis
• And more

Actually it’s hard to draw up a list of potential applications it would be so long, because most areas of work benefit from a deeper understanding of the way that people approach their work. 

Further, if you have participated in the two-day Advanced Management Communication Workshop covering coaching skills, the Expert Accreditation is highly recommended.  The two trainings are highly complementary and support each other strongly. 

What are the Benefits of HA Expert Training?

Having lost count of the number of times I’ve personally been through the Expert Training, and with Dan’s authorization to pass it on myself, it’s one of the greatest joys of my work to support you to take your skill to the next level. 

I can’t promise you any enlightening experiences during the Expert Training, but it might happen!  The feedback we consistently get from participants is they are seeing exciting new ways that they can leverage HA. 

 - Many people want to use it for coaching.
 - Others want to do better interviewing.
 - Or maybe to more precisely match employees to their supervisor.
 - Still others find insights and skills to apply in teambuilding.

As a trainer one of the challenges is the wide range of applications that participants choose to focus their attention on.  In compensation for this difficulty is it’s wonderful to witness how each person focuses on a different aspect of what’s possible, but they all share a common passion for working with others in a more impactful way. 

Those of us who use the Main Graph tend to find that we gradually use the Paradox Graph less, and become able to quickly pin-point the essence of a profile at an intuitive level.  The Main Graph includes more dimensions, and presents them in a way that enhances our view of much more complex inter-relationships. 

Our ability to make insightful interventions and make difficult decisions confidently is greatly enhanced.  As a result the value we generate for the people we work with is magnified and its impact ripples further through our network. 

Note, on a purely business-like note, if you’re looking for something that sets you apart in the marketplace, the Expert Certificate is still very rare.   If you work as an internal ‘company’ expert or you are a self-employed professional the USP of the HA Expert Accreditation is a valuable differentiator to boost your career.  What’s more, at this time there are only a small handful of people in Greater China who have their certification to use the Main Graph.  Within a few months you will be one of a very select group, simply by doing the work you would have been doing anyway, better. 

What do you get? 

The Expert training gives you

• Access to the Main Graph, and the skill of how to read it
• The simple and very powerful process that Dan developed to use in his own counseling and coaching practice
• And a certificate of Expert HA user

Plus a depth of experience from talking to your profilees in a new way, that is hard to express in words. 

What does it take?

The Expert Accreditation consists of three elements:-

1. a structured training class that takes just one day
2. your own practice, the recommendation – based on experience - is you should see 100 profiles
3. a review of your skill, reviewing a live profile in person with Ava Harrison or with Dan.  

Each one of these elements brings great value in itself – put together, we experience a powerful synergy generated between them. 

The training class gives you essential knowledge and insights. 

At the end of the class your HA account is unlocked to give you access to the Main Graph, and you will already know ways that you can get more value from the HA profile that you can use to delve into mission-critical decisions and conversations. 

You will find that each time you review a new Main Graph, you are seeing things you previously missed.  Each time you work with it you get new insights that you can apply the next time you use HA.  This is why we recommend reviewing 100 profiles before doing the final review – as surprising as it was to me, the learning-curve really does continue rapidly as your skill in learning how to learn from the graph itself begins to accelerate. 

What do I have to do?

The bad news is we only schedule the Expert Training on request.  The good news is we only need 6 people to register their interest before we schedule the next training, and I already have 2 people on the list.
