Hi,

I'm Rodney Daut.

I have been studying, practicing and helping others with personal development for over 10 years.

Name any change technology or psychological process and I have either studied it, used it myself or practiced it with others. I have studied Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Choice Theory, Focusing, Tappas Acupressure Technique, and meditation just to name a few. I have also been trained in Emotional Freedom Techniques, Be Set Free Fast, Releasing and the Lefkoe Method.

After years of trial and error working with clients and having work done on myself I rely almost exclusively on the Lefkoe Method because of its speed and how consistently it works.

My Story

My quest to find effective methods of personal change began when I was in high school and wanted to get rid of my habit of procrastination. I had tried everything then including Transactional Analysis, getting in touch with my "Inner Child", Benjamin Franklin's method of changing one habit a day etc. I was able to make some progress but it didn't' last.

When I studied the social sciences at USC I discovered something that most social scientists had known for years. "Information does not change behavior". This lead me to ask, "What does change behavior?"

When I graduated from USC with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science I still did not have the answer. Part of this was because I hadn't asked the right question. "What causes our unwanted behavior and emotions?"

I became a teacher shortly after I left USC. And as a teacher I had many difficulties mostly due to the fact that I was hesitant to discipline students. So I was not consistent. Students either thought I was unfair or that I was weak and took advantage of me.

I also procrastinated as a teacher so I was never able to do as well as I could with lesson plans, giving appropriate feedback with grades or calling their parents when students needed it.

This began to change once I found the Lefkoe Method which finally gave a useful answer to my question "what causes unwanted behavior and emotions?" Their answer was "meaning". We cannot have a feeling about anything unless we interpret what we are seeing and give it meaning. This explained why two people in the same situation often have different emotions. The two people literally SEE different meanings in the same events.

After receiving training and working with trainees I found that I felt that "Discipline was bad" and that I feared failure and rejection in general. I was a particularly complex case and I didn't work with Certified Lefkoe Method Facilitators consistently so it took me a long time to handle the problem completely. But by the time I retired as a teacher teaching was a breeze. I no longer feared disciplining my students. I no longer procrastinated and I was able to come up with brilliant teaching ideas that my students enjoyed.

Many people asked me why I was retiring from teaching. I told them that although I enjoyed teaching I felt that there was something more that I could do. I might have continued teaching if I could work with each of my students using the Lefkoe Techniques to help them eliminate their negative self-esteem and other personal issues.

Unfortunately, that would be too time consuming and might not be allowed. My goal now is to help as many people eliminate their fears as I can. And eventually create training programs for school counselors. I love education and still want to make a difference there.

I have more confidence in myself. Rodney helped me to eliminate many negative self-esteem beliefs. I can now be in a room full of people and not feel like I’m not worth their attention. Whereas, before I remember feeling like anything I had to say was not important enough, like I had no real business being there. Anna Caples Placentia, California
