• Encouraging self-respect and rational self-interest as foundations for personal growth.
2. Managing Value Exchange
• Teaching strategies for navigating relationships and social dynamics by balancing self-regarding and other-regarding interests.
• Promoting mutual benefit through equitable and ethical exchanges of utility and support.
3. Ethical Alignment
• Guiding clients to align their actions with their personal and universal ethical principles.
• Encouraging consistency in integrity, reciprocity, and honesty in relationships and goals.
4. Emotional Mastery
• Developing emotional intelligence skills, such as empathy, resilience, and self-regulation, as a component of VI.
• Utilizing emotions as a compass for decision-making while maintaining rational control.
5. Utility-Based Growth
• Helping individuals optimize their utility—whether financial, social, intellectual, or domestic capital—for achieving their personal and professional goals.
• Fostering a deeper understanding of how utility impacts relationships and long-term satisfaction.
