Areteah consists of a phonetic game with the Greek term Arete coined by Aristotle which makes reference to having a virtuous life with excellence from achieving the best version of ourselves. 

 

 This notion is closely related to the notion of eudaimonia, or sense of self-fulfillment where the human being reaches his best version in terms of happiness, morality and meaning, making use of Arete to reach such a state.

We support this view of acian wisdom from the following scientific foundations that guide the motodology:

Neuroscience of performance and stress management 

​

Our holistic development methodology, based on energy management, mental tools, and relationships, is developed from current studies on the neuroscience of performance and stress, such as the Biotypes research conducted at Stanford Medical School, as well as research carried out at the same time by performance expert Professor Roy Sugarman, impacting the following elements:

​

• Physical: Understanding our biological cycles and how to best utilize our vital energy.

• Mental: Mental tools to put the brain in growth mode and reduce survival mode responses.

• ​Relationships: Study and development of emotional and interpersonal skills for positive relationships.

​

Concious Leadership and Team Engagament 

​

We base our methodology for working with leaders on studies related to the development of emotional and interpersonal skills in leaders, conducted by researcher Richard Boyatzis.

​

We also apply the PERMA model from the well-being theory created by Dr. Martin Seligman, the father of Positive Psychology. This model helps leaders develop greater impact and engagement within their teams.

​

Finally, we developed the level of self-awareness of leaders based on influences from Anthroposophy and the theory of septenniums, systemic and family constellations, studies on limiting beliefs, the foundations of change and transition, and the theory of integral leadership based on values.

​

We also cooperate with the VIA Institute on Character and their research on questionnaire application to help our clients identify their key virtues and character strengths as part of our practices.

Behavior Change Science

​

Our greatest influence on this topic comes from studies conducted by the Behavior Change Design Lab at Stanford University in the United States, led by Dr. BJ Fogg, one of the world's leading authorities on the science of habit and behavioral change; and Michelle Segar complements this topic with her research on the science behind sustainable behavioral change.
