PNT Teacher Standards

Personal

• Have taken the PNT and related Professional Course (or the equivalent, such as my recent four day training through Arbor Seminaire), and read Hardwiring Happiness
• Significant practice of mindfulness, compassion, and cultivation
• High integrity, conscientiousness, and resourcefulness
• Respect for diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Able to receive feedback and work well in a group

            
Professional

• Regular use of the HEAL methods, even implicitly, in their work
• Skills and experience as a teacher of personal growth programs
• While the PNT is not a treatment for any condition, it can engage sensitive psychological material, so teachers need to have a background in psychotherapy, coaching, or the equivalent
• A platform and connections that foster success in successfully enrolling the PNT

Engagement

• Teach one more PNT’s a year
• Regular attendance in at least two out of the four quarterly meetings
• Use participant evaluations of the PNT’s they teach that are also made available to me for review
• Send in a brief annual report indicating the number of PNT’s taught, the number of participants, and the typical fee for attendance
• Understanding that I can “de-authorize” an individual who does not meet the criteria for continuing membership in the Teachers group
