• Motivate the child to act on your guidance

• Convey your message in such a way that the other person can hear you

• Prevent miscommunication and bridge the communications gap

Benefits:

The basis of this unique approach to understanding peoples’ perception of the world and the way they interact and communicate has been researched with over 40,000 people. It is an inherited system but influenced in its expression by the environment in which we are raised and live. HCC is a communications system to help couples, families and particularly parents and educators to easily access and learn about their child’s perceptions and type of mind they have inherited.

HCC is a diagnostic tool to understand how to motivate, personalize the learning process and discover how each child perceives, feels, views and interacts with the world. Parents and educators can discover the communication code of the child through their verbal and nonverbal characteristics. All of us have innate, inherited and acquired characteristics, ‘the gems within’.
The acquired characteristics need to be learned and then integrated with the inherited and innate characteristics to actualize and optimize a person’s potential capabilities.

Lack of integration can leads to misunderstandings, dysfunctional behavioural patterns, mental disorders and loss of potential. HCC provides the tools to integrate these three aspects of our being at an early age to prevent later dysfunctional behaviour.

'Excel-Kids' offers a service to diagnose how each child and member of the family processes information and how we can connect more effectively in the way we talk to each other. It is a several page report that provides feedback on how we operate in the communication process, learn and respectfully engage and what strategies to use to bridge the communications gap.

How we process information

There are three ways of processing information: thinking, relating or doing or what we are terming here as mind, relational and action.
Each of us uses one of these processes predominantly which appears to be inherited and becomes a default setting which operates automatically whenever we find ourselves in unknown territory or under stress. However, over time we become educated and trained to view the world from a more balanced perspective using all three modes. You will be able to determine your mode of communication by remembering your response to a new situation (or when you were a teenager) - your inherited mode of processing information or inbuilt default setting will be very apparent.
It is like the hardware and software of the human psyche.

Processing through the use of mind

If this is your dominant mode: you use thinking as the way to solve problems.  Thinking processes involve aspects of looking at the situation objectively and logically, step by step and systematically. You consider the: goals, vision, big picture and structural elements requirements. You will probably also give consideration to the key concepts, values or principles. This modality will initially dismiss their emotional or intuitive reactions and rely on their logic to assess the situation. This modality will visualise different possible scenarios.

Processing through the relational

If this is your dominant mode: you use your feelings to solve problems. People who process the world through their feelings are often accused of wearing their heart on their sleeve and being too emotional. Your first consideration will always be how you feel and how it will affect you and those involved. You are highly interactive and enjoy sharing information and feelings; and need feedback from others. You often rely on intuition and creativity or fantasy to resolve issues. You are highly attuned to others and pick up nuances.

Processing through action

If this is your dominant mode: you use action as the way to solve problems. You don’t think about it, you just do it. Your first reaction to beginning any new project is to work out what has to be done as you go along. This mode of processing uses a pragmatic systems view (what is practical and realistic in a given context) and good for all involved. You look for facts and data. You interpret the world kinaesthetically (you use sensory perception and movement to learn).  You problem solve through trial and error and application.

What we selectively process

There are three ways of selecting information to process: mind, relational, action. Each mode functions as a different type of filter. Our unique interpretation of what just transpired will be determined by what we focus on (or what is important to us). It enables one person so to speak to give emphasis to the picture and another to the frame. This is what happens when witnesses describe the same incident in entirely different ways. 

The mind mode of viewing the world

If you most value ideas you will use your mental processes to envision, analyse, synthesize and conceptualise. You are objective: weighing one idea against another or evaluating new ideas and concepts in order to find effective and efficient solutions. If you view the world from this mode you need a lot of mental stimulus and challenges and process information very quickly. You have a conceptual memory and enjoy maps, diagrams and figures to represent relational ideas. In relationship to time, you are predominantly interested in the future.

The relational mode of viewing the world

If you most value relationships you will be attuned to seeking connections between people, things and ideas. In this mode you first absorb what is happening around you without differentiation. Using the analogy of a tuning fork: if one tuning fork is aligned to another they will reverberate to the same note. It is a form of intuiting or emotional resonance. You need time to process all the data you have attuned to and its implications before arriving at a decision. In relationship to time, you are predominantly interested in the past and present and immediate future.

The action mode of viewing the world

If you most value the action aspects of the world you will use your senses to focus on what is happening around you: what is tangible, evident and specific to your needs. You will be concerned about data and facts. You will notice and place emphasis on the material aspects of your world and the image you create in your physical space. You will be well organised and focused on how things are working and functioning at the practical level. In relationship to time, you are predominantly interested in the present.
