INTRODUCTION

There are numerous diverse methods and techniques marketed to public promoting leadership development programs. However, the most effective method of success in self-development and personal life-enhancement is the Israeli way.

The Israelis have demonstrated what personal inner strength can accomplish. The secret of their perseverance is the lifestyle in midst of insistent life-threatening environment and rigorous daily stress.

Educational concept’s – History

Athenians

Greek Gods were down-to-earth and “less awesome” than the remote gods of the East. Because they were endowed with human qualities and often represented aspects of the physical world–such as the sun, the moon, and the sea–they were closer to manlike and to the world they lived in. The Greeks, therefore, found spiritual satisfaction in the ordinary, everyday world. They developed a secular life free from the domination of a priesthood that exacted to pay homage to gods. The goal of education in the Greek culture was to produce citizens trained in the arts of both peace and war.

OUR EXPERTISE – THE COMBINATION OF BOTH CONCEPTS
Development and empowerment of the personal “INNER – STRENGTH”!

WHAT IS INNER STRENGTH?

We define inner strength as the ability to withstand adverse situations based on mental and physical.

fitness. It encompasses situational awareness, readiness, and willingness to persist in very difficult situations. We have been known to successfully formulate an inner-strength combination of the Athenian spirit and the Spartan physical toughness in our daily lives. Individuals with balanced inner-strength allow us to become solid protectors and leaders.

The sources for personal inner strength are:

Physical fitness, spirituality, and mental strength.

Due to the recent enhancement of importance of entrepreneurship in our daily lives, we need to explore and navigate the core strength of our inner ability far more than ever before.

This is an extensive practical training program initiated by International Security Academy – Israel, based on the real Israeli expertise, concepts, and methods to strengthen people when coping with high pressure situations. It deals with self-empowerment and team-empowerment.

Israel is continually under threat of terrorist attacks from within and from outside the country, therefore the Israeli population have been trained and given the ability to overcome unexpected attacks and to adapt to high threat situations of extreme violence.

We give priority to the qualifications and involvement of our entire population in the struggle against violent crime or terrorism; we do not consider it as the concerns of the law enforcement only.

Our experience dictates that a person in a stronger mental and physical condition feel more self- confident, functions and cops much better with high stress situations resulting from crises and violence.

We realized that self-confidence improves the participant’s character and behavior in their family, their awareness and desire to contribute, to be more involved and to influence the quality of life in the entire society, the lack of self-confidence turns people into aggressors or potential victims, who look and behave accordingly.
