Bruce Copley

Dr Bruce Copley, the founder of AAHA Learning, has pioneered a revolutionary holistic approach to learning, widely acknowledged as the “missing link” in education, training, communication and management. By stimulating and involving the whole person mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially, human potential is optimised and the limitless learner within reawakened.

Were you, like tens of millions of people worldwide inspired, impressed, and / or touched by the film Dead Poets Society? Bruce has been dubbed a real life version of the inspiring poetry teacher played by Robin Williams in the film.

Utilising a remarkable array of unique experiences, exercises and activities such as fire making, music, drama, poetry, comedy, story telling, didgeridoo playing, and many other forms of “edutainment”, Bruce transforms conventional and mundane sitting practices into vibrant and captivating moving experiences. The key to his unmitigated worldwide success as a speaker and animator is his extraordinary ability to actively and passionately engage the audience in the discovery, exploration and application of holistic tools and techniques that breathe life into education, learning and communication. Bruce Copley’s presentations are unforgettable lived experiences.

In an ever changing world where powers of reasoning, creativity and vision are of paramount importance, a new open minded approach to education and learning is called for. The power of AAHA Learning is succinctly described in a quote by Eric Butterworth:

“When the ties of learning and the chains of conditioning that bind the human mind and heart again and again, are loosed and we are introduced to ourselves, the real self that has no limitations, then the bells of heaven ring for joy and we are thrust forward into a grand rendezvous with life.”

2,500 years ago Confucius said “Tell them and they will forget, show them and they may remember, but involve them and they will understand”. We all know that the inherent truth of this statement has been around as long as the principle of aerodynamics – which is forever! We also know that 90 percent of information we receive is soon forgotten which means that we are operating at a fraction of our full potential.  Very simply, if we apply the principle of holistic learning by whole person involvement as effectively as we apply the principle of aerodynamics, we will fly!

“Ice breakers” are commonly used to open, relax and warm delegates followed by “big freeze” tactics that bombard delegates with facts, information, complex models, endless monologues, Power Point presentations and quotes that are largely forgotten within hours if not minutes.
