For decades Jard has researched, written and published more than a score of books, psychological tests, college and business courses that include NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST, LOVERS FOR LIFE, LEADERSHIP PSYCHOLOGY, LEADERSHIP POWER (Japanese), LOS BUENOS TAMBIEN GANAN (Spanish), THE LIBERATED SOUL, THE LAWS OF LEADERSHIP, THE SELF-PROFILE, FRONTIERS OF FULFILLMENT, and quite a few others.

He has conducted programs for scores of colleges, universities, large and small companies, service clubs, professional societies and religious denominations. By way of example, Jard originally developed GRACE UNDER PRESSURE as his textbook when teaching leadership psychology in the Executive Development Program at the University of Arizona in Tucson. It was then published and sold world-wide as a major offering in The New American Library’s Executive Growth Series of management courses.

He also wrote the training program now titled PARENTING WINNING CHILDREN, as the text for his staff psychologists, social workers and teachers when he was Director of the Child Conservation Center, a learning and learning disabilities clinic conjoined with the University of Wisconsin in Madison. THE PASTOR’S HANDBOOK ON INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS and THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WITNESSING are currently being used as the FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM program by about twenty thousand ministers in the Seventh-day Adventist fellowship that is baptizing a million or so new members every year. We take great satisfaction from that contribution to a devout faith community.

FRONTIERS OF FULFILLMENT has been taught professionally in many corporations, colleges, universities, congregations and associations -- where it averaged very high ratings.

TESTIMONIALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

These courses have proven so interesting and so valuable that for two decades the participants gave them an incredible 3.50 average approval rating on a four point scale.Jard’s decade of leadership programs for the University of Arizona were rated at 3.68 by twenty different classes of ambitious and intelligent corporate executives who found his insights very useful. In addition, during one ten year period, we appeared on so many talk shows, in lecture sessions and in classes -- that we helped literally millions of persons around the world -- from London to Singapore, from Tokyo to Brisbane and Auckland and from coast to coast and border to border within the United States.

Here are what some very perceptive persons write about these amazing life enhancing programs.

When we use existential as in existential psychology, existential alienation or an existential vacuum, we the authors mean only that the topic under discussion relates to the satisfying, mediocre or disappointing lifestyle men and women choose or have thrust upon them by society. For us, existential or life style values, attitudes, expectations, beliefs and choices have no connection with the purposeless European philosophy formerly called existentialism or know now as secular nihilism.

The human tendency to adapt as life changes swirl around us, or to stand pat by holding to the past even when doing so is self-defeating - begins when we are infants. Our personality patterns, values, attitudes, expectations and all the rest jelled when we were deciding who we are, what life is all about and what we are worth in the scheme of things. Your life-theme, the prism through which you interpret what goes on within and about you, has also been called a person's world-view or mind-set.

How to get started

For over half a century we have helped a great many people like yourself, from different walks of life, make their lives fulfilling and meaningful through teaching, counseling; and by publishing powerful books, tests and seminars.

For, while some individuals perceive a conflict between psychology and religion, between worship and psychotherapy, both disciplines stem from the same roots, from the same human needs for faith, hope and love in a community of men and women with whom we share life. It is when crucial needs go unmet that our lives turn barren and become as dry as dust, leaving us existentially frustrated, stuck in the midst of life and prone to aggressive and self-defeating choices.

We combine Viktor’s concept of seeking individual meaning -- with a communal search for belonging with the people with whom we share love. We have gone on to promote the wisdom of opening avenues of meaning and purpose -- within the places of the heart with the men and women with whom we share love and support. This is represented in the following equation.

FULFILLMENT = f (Meaning X Belonging)

For it is the balanced way we work and play, love and learn and persevere and worship -- our maturing choices, that determine the depth of our fulfillment and the consistent satisfaction that follows.

The Fulfillment Forum offers you a psychospiritual approach that transcends much of the luck of the draw, that enables you to live and love through effective and efficient processes. We no longer need to automatically accept whatever nature and society gives us. We really can bypass the attitudes, expectations and choices that served our ancestors reasonably well a century or so ago but have become disastrous today.
