01. Our New Brand


You may notice some new changes in the coming months. Starting with our new logo - we are aligning our brand to reflect more accurately the professional services that we provide. Look out for our new website and also new ways that we have packaged our Healthy Thinking® tools so that they are easier for you to implement. If you have any feedback about this newsletter format we would love to here from you.

02. Personal Satisfaction


As a professional research based organization, The Healthy Thinking Institute measures the effectiveness of its programs using metrics like internal and external customer satisfaction.

We believe that to get great customer satisfaction at any level, people need to be personally satisfied and happy.
This translates to what the customer thinks of your company, and what people in the company think of you, or your team.
At the Healthy Thinking Institute we believe that to get great customer satisfaction at any level, people need to be personally satisfied and happy.
Our research tell us that there are 5 key factors to personal satisfaction and without strength in these factors, it is more difficult to be happy.
The 5 key factors to personal satisfaction are:
• Family
• Health
• Financial security
• Friends
• Sense of Purpose


In my third book about to be released, “Instant Happiness” I write “Not having money can make you unhappy, having lots of money doesn’t make you happy either, but being happy does make you money!”
Now you may argue that people with lots of money and who are not happy, are obviously spending it on the wrong things! Our data shows that being really rich does not add more personal satisfaction as we adapt to our level of income. For some people, amassing wealth is their sense of purpose, so once they get there, they can in fact become less happy as they lose their sense of purpose.
What’s your sense of purpose? Teaching people to think and act in a healthy way is ours.

Our data also shows that the happier you are, the less stressed you are, the more money you and your company make, and the longer you live. So working to increase personal satisfaction and reducing stress have positive effects on health and profits.

We are teaming up with Dr Paul Englert, one of the countries most experienced and respected Organizational Psychologists from www.opragroup.com to evaluate and further develop our corporate year long programs.
We know that it makes a difference, but using our combined research philosophy we want to prove without doubt that Healthy Thinking is a great Return on Investment (ROI)

The expected return is in customer satisfaction, engagement, staff satisfaction, reduced staff turnover and increased profit.
We now have a personal satisfaction and branding module in our Executive Coaching program which runs for a year. We have a number of CEOs and leaders on this program.
Healthy Thinking provides tools to change attitudes and behaviours. We have now developed a set of tool cards and profiling cards which are a huge success. Carry them around or leave them on your desk and they prompt you to recognise attitude profiles like the Extremist and its antidote, The Negotiator.
These 12 cards have been designed in conjunction with Ross Bennett of Cause and Effect Ltd www.cande.co.nz and are a huge hit.

03. Healthy Thinking® Tools and Initiatives


We are launching in June these exciting initiatives.
• Our first Healthy Thinking Schools program. Waitara High School will work toward becoming a HealthyThinking School.
• Hilton Healthy Thinking meetings program in Sydney. This initiative aims at improving mind (software) and brain (hard drive) of participants during meetings.
• A new website
• An audio CD on attitude profiling and essential Healthy Thinking
The audio CD will replace the email support in our current Attitude Profiling 12 week course which includes books, workbook and diary and profiling cards. This 12 week course is $490 plus GST.

As predicted the demand for email support and online personal coaching from me, would outstrip supply but it has been very useful in developing the program. This will still be available in the Executive coaching program but the cost of this is $12'000 per year.
So you have until the end of June to get the profiling package and email coaching from me, Dr. Tom Mulholland for a 12 week package for only $490 plus GST which includes materials.

We have opened another office in Auckland and I have moved with my family to Waiheke Island to be able to service our corporate market more efficiently.
Ph 64 9 3726592 for Auckland or 64 6 7524355 for Taranaki or mobile 027 5752435.
Email is tom@healthythinking.biz
We still maintain the Healthy Thinking Institute in Taranaki which is a great environment for corporate training and Healthy Thinking workshops.

Remember if you Change Your Attitude you can change your life.
The health benefits of using Healthy Thinking to reduce stress and frustration and increase personal satisfaction are profound.
You can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, increase immunity and, from what I have established from my research, also increase neurotransmitters by changing what you think.
Independent research shows how stress and chemicals like Cortisol, seriously affect your health.

Don’t miss out on the last month to get personal on line coaching from me and our full profiling materials for only $490 plus GST. It wont come again and the offer goes to the end of June to begin the on line support program.
By successfully completing the course you become a Healthy Thinking Champion and this gives you the right to distribute our materials. We also have a year long program to become a certified Healthy Thinking® Coach. As well as keynote and workshop packages available and our year long Healthy Thinking Corporate program.
Email me tom@healthythinking.biz to find out more or check for available dates.

In the next newsletter I will talk about how nutrition and other factors affect our hard drive, our brain!

Happy Healthy Thinking

Dr Tom Mulholland
