The Seven Levels – Deceptively Simple, Endlessly Complex

Ann Betz and Ursula Pottinga developed The Seven Levels of Effectiveness over the course of many years, with a great deal of thought, effort, real world experimentation and research. This model has been the framework for BEabove’s coaching programs for more than 20 years, and includes the latest in applied neuroscience. These levels represent the state of effectiveness from which our actions and thoughts are created, directly affecting our results in life. 

Although the levels at which we operate can and do fluctuate throughout the day, even from moment to moment, we’ve discovered that awareness of one’s operating level of consciousness, effectiveness, awareness – whatever you choose to call it – is highly useful and important and deserves to be shared, which is why we have done just that on this page. 

We invite you to use, discuss and share The Seven Levels, but ask that you meet our standards for use of intellectual property in publication (print or electronic).
