Glasser Aotearoa New Zealand conducts training programs in Choice Theory and its applications Reality Therapy and Lead Management.

  • Choice Theory
Choice Theory is the theory which explains why and how we behave the way we do. It states that all we do is behave, that almost all behaviour is chosen, and that we are driven by our genes to satisfy five basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom and fun. In practice, the most important need is love and belonging, as closeness and connectedness with the people we care about is a requisite for satisfying all of the needs.
  • Reality Therapy
Reality Therapy is the method of counseling that Dr. Glasser developed in 1965. It is now firmly based on Choice Theory and its successful application is dependent on the counsellor’s familiarity with, and knowledge of that theory. In fact, teaching Choice Theory to counselees (whether clients or students) is now part of Reality Therapy.
  • Lead Management
Lead-managers continually work on the system to create a non-coercive environment within which workers (in schools, students) can self-evaluate and achieve quality work. The only way any organisation will achieve its goal – quality work – is if the lead-manager can persuade those in the organisation to continually upgrade the system by communicating in ways that build trust
