About Model Thinking
Rod Sherwin, Solutioneer, Trainer, Speaker, and Consultant
Rod Sherwin has been studying accelerated learning for over 20 years. He has always had a fascination for how the brain works and making the most of it for learning, creativity, and creating positive lasting changes. This was prompted by the idea that, if we only use 20% of our brain, what can we do with the rest of it?
Many years ago, Rod learned how to ingest and synthesize vast amounts of information and applied that technique to learning many others. Rod studied techniques such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro-Associative Conditioning (NAC), Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Solutions Focused Change Management that provide the shortest route to lasting change for individuals and organisations. Rod not only uses these techniques personally but applies them to teaching which allows him to pass on his expertise in a fraction of time of conventional training.
With Engineering and Science degrees, Rod always presents ideas that are eminently practical. Rod studies the theory and then finds way to apply it in useful ways in everyday life. Rod draws from broad industry experience across telecommunications, government, defence, dot com start-ups and professional consulting firms. Rather than just silo experience, he has seen solutions that work in one industry and apply them to others.
In combination with his unique industry experience, Rod applied his focus to find ways to help people heal from emotional issues and founded the Tap4Health EFT Practice in Melbourne in 2003. Working with hundreds of people with all sorts of issues gives Rod amazing insight into human nature. Rod has also volunteered in a Senior Leadership with peak performance guru Anthony Robbins in many countries around the world using Robbin's knowledge and skills in everything from team building exercises to firewalks!
During Rod Sherwin’s career in IT and Business Analysis, he learned and taught the conventional approaches to business change. Noticing parallels with the personal transformation that could be applied to businesses change and improvement, Rod now speaks, consults, and writes, about the most effective and direct approaches to healing and creating positive change in our personal and business lives.
Rod has appeared on radio and TV and speaks on topics such as emotional wellbeing, the solutions focus, and what drives human behaviour.
Rod lives in the heart of Melbourne, Australia and loves the variety of lifestyle that Melbourne offers with sport, theatre, restaurants, and festivals.
