PRIVATE
The story of the RISE Human Development System starts and ends with the private life. All of RISE’s past and future developments are designed to enable individuals to live their most successful and happiest lives to the best of their ability. RISE’s story began in private mentoring, where a particular businessperson, sports professional, or educational leader needed to be made more successful. RISE believes that – whether in business, sports, education, or indeed any area of life – if people are successful individually and strive to become more successful as individuals, they will also make their communities more dynamic, whether it is a small company, a team, or multinational. Based on our experience, this view is understood and applied by a growing number of people as time goes on, decade by decade. This is also the reason why RISE’s private field has been able to move beyond the development of private mentoring into a new dimension, where the focus is on children, parents, and families. While maintaining the traditional mentoring of top decision-makers, which has been successfully carried out for 21 years, the “family analysis” area was developed in 2012, with the main objective of assessing the relationships within a family. It provides an in-depth analysis of the family members, and by defining them as a “team”, it presents the family’s key challenges, significant yet unexploited potential, and development opportunities. The “family analysis” focuses on the individual, the relationships within the family, and the family as a unit. Family analyses provide parents with strong support to become better educators, to better understand their children, and it also provides help to family members during serious crises. Capacity is limited in this field, with a maximum of 50 families per year that we can analyse. However, the fact that the predefined capacity is used to the maximum each year is remarkable and gives a clear direction for future planning. The more than 400 family analyses carried out so far have received considerable feedback, not only from parents but also from professionals. And we are constantly increasing our capacity.
