Program prerequisite: MAP
Term: 24 Months ("Contract Period")
OBLIGATIONS
CONFERENCES: Member must attend Four (4) Conferences in the Contract Period in their entirety (Extra study/founder days or social events are requested but negotiable).
STUDY MODULES: There are 24 Study Modules available during the Contract Period. Each Module is to be downloaded from our designated site, on or following the 1st of each month and then submitted no later than the 1st of the following month. Also required for submission are the standard measures required for Health, Money, and Income or other COL if applicable. ("Study Period").
STUDY MODULES: Participants should anticipate that the length and difficulty of the Study Modules would vary depending on the assigned content, subject matter and the practical or specific knowledge one may have. Most of the modules are designed to be specialized study to support the transactional domains of the Transaction Cycle and offer a reflective study on each of the Conditions of Life as well as expand the specialized knowledge and practice of the Conditions of Transaction. Study Modules are designed to guide the participant study, accurate thinking, deliberate practice and support the work and action required to produce results and consequences needed to meet specific aims. They will tend to be singular in their focus and aimed toward the Conditions of Life, Transactional Domains, Conditions of Transaction, specialized principals and/or practices.
WEBINAR SESSIONS: Attendance is required for at least one hour of each 24 Monthly Webinar Sessions ("Sessions"). The length of any Session will depend on the specific need of the Program participants. These Sessions are designed to offer an opportunity to have specific Study Module questions addressed and are the place to bring specific requests for help in your study. These sessions are exclusive to MAP2 - PSTI members only and from time to time will include special guests.
SATISFACTION METRICS: Participants are obligated to submit a Satisfaction Metrics Report.
- The Satisfaction Metrics Report is due on the 1st of each month.
- This report is distributed to participants seven days in advance of the due date.
- The report includes not only metrics for Health, Money, and Income, but also captures the facts about participation in Program Obligations.
OTHER PROGRAM ATTENDANCE: Participants will be required to attend and participate ambitiously in all Focus Lecture Training Series during the Contract Period.
MAP2 participants may satisfy their participation obligations through the FLTS or other webinar sessions in our lower level programs which include:
- Fundamentals of Transaction Program
- Priority in Practice Program
- Membership Program
- Special labs and other live events
Attendance in other programs or live classrooms may be required as part of a specific Monthly Study. This practice is aimed to support specific distinctions of learning and practice.
For example, FOT Study number 5 where the Conference is offered to FOT participants or PIP Study 9 or 10 where the Transactions Cycle is presented to PIP participants. Observing invitations and offers as well as participating in the leadership assessment of the sessions is highly relevant and useful as participants aim to produce results and move powerfully in their own transactions.
MATERIALS: From six (6) to ten (10) additional books as well as modules, articles and other media will be assigned during the study.
- Three (3) Periodicals will be required and we request that each participant confirm a Two (2) Year Subscription for the following: –
- One general business periodical (one must be - Fortune, Forbes, Inc.,)
- One periodical must be a Trade journal as specifically related to your specific industry or occupational role/accountabilities. This periodical or publication should be as specific and specialized as possible – one aiming to further highly specialized knowledge in the positions, category or industry in which participant transacts for Career.

Within the Contract Period and during the developmental period of the MAP II Program, Kirkland will be reasonably available to each member of the program during designated office hours to address any concerns participants may have regarding the study or a specific transaction.
Please do not abuse this opportunity by being overly demanding or high cost. Kirkland reserves the right to decline requests for help depending on Participant’s demonstration of ambition, member standing, metrics and the like.
