About the Laboratory of Role Transformations

The activities of the laboratory are aimed at developing and realising developmental practices. They are based on experiments with one’s own identity and are aimed at ensuring material prosperity.

The aim of our activities is to help people unlock their potential and achieve success in the financial sphere and in life. We offer individual and group programmes with a variety of activities:

– Self-discovery and self-development. We help you identify your values, interests, strengths and weaknesses, and realise the uniqueness of your personality.

– Identity Experiments. We will encourage you to be creative, innovative and change. We suggest trying out different roles, styles, personas and life scenarios.

– Skills and competence development. We will help you develop important skills that will help you with communication, time management, financial decision making, etc.

– Ensuring material prosperity. We will support you in finding and realising your professional and financial opportunities. We will help you set up your own business, increase your income, invest your money, etc.

We believe that our activities will benefit not only individuals but also society as a whole. We promote economic growth, human capital development and social mobility.

Robert Kiyosaki’s perspective on money and financial freedom in the book Cash Flow Quadrant

The book “Cash Flow Quadrant” should be seen as a tool to categorise people into groups according to their source of income. There are four in total: wage employment, small business, big business and investment.

By identifying your sector, you will be able to move to a different part of the quadrant and achieve success. To achieve the results you want, you need to put in some emotional and physical effort. The author suggests just seven steps, allowing everyone to choose their own path to financial freedom. You will also learn why it is so important to be financially literate and what it takes to do so.

This book is written for people who are ready for a profound professional and financial change to step from the industrial age to the information age. According to the author, “this book is for people who are ready to move on the opposite side of a secure job, who want to win financial freedom.” The author notes that “it is for people who are tired of dragging buckets and are willing to build a pipeline to get cash flowing into their pockets… rather than past their pockets…”

Robert Kiyosaki stresses the importance of financial literacy: “Throughout the book I never fail to stress the importance of financial literacy. To operate on the right side of the quadrant, sectors B and I, one must be more literate than one who wishes to remain on the left side, sectors E and S.”

The letters of each sector are explained as follows: E, employee; S, self-employed; B, business owner; I, investor.

In the book we find a description of the cash flow quadrant: ‘The cash flow quadrant represents different methods of making income or money. For example, an employee earns money by doing professional work for someone else or a company. A self-employed person earns money by working for themselves. An owner has a business that makes money, and investors make money from various investments, in other words, making money make more money”.

The author notes that “different methods of earning income require different ways of thinking, different technical skills, different ways of getting an education. Different people are attracted to different sectors. Although the money is the same, the ways in which it is earned can vary considerably.”

What are role transformations?

The concept of role transformation can be useful for developing communication and leadership skills.

Role transformation is a technique that involves a person changing their role depending on the situation and the purpose of the communication. For example, if you want to convince a customer about the benefits of your product, you can adopt the role of an expert, a consultant. If you want to motivate your team, you can take the role of a leader, a mentor.

Role transformations help you to adapt to different interlocutors, taking into account their needs, interests and expectations. They also help to develop empathy, confidence and creativity.

Role transformations require flexibility, self-reflection and continuous learning.

What is role transformation from a scientific perspective?

Role transformation is the process of changing a person’s behaviour, thinking and emotions to fit a particular role. Role transformations can be conscious and unconscious, temporary and long-term, positive and negative.

They can be seen as the result of interaction between individual factors (personality traits, motivations, values, beliefs, skills, etc.) and social factors (expectations, norms, stereotypes, etc.).

Role transformations can affect a person’s self-esteem, self-actualisation, health, financial well-being and more.

They are investigated using various scientific methods: experiments, observations, surveys, interviews, psychometric tests. Role transformations can be applied in various spheres of life (education, work, sports, art, politics, etc.).

Role transformations help a person to adapt to new conditions, develop his/her potential, build relationships with other people and achieve goals.

The role of money in the processes of socio-cultural transformation of status-role positions

This topic is relevant and important for understanding modern social changes and the dynamics of social stratification.

In the process of research we use a theoretical approach based on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of social capital, as well as empirical data obtained from the analysis of statistical studies, interviews and observations.

We put forward the hypothesis that money plays a key role in the formation and transformation of status-role positions in modern society, because money is one of the main resources of social capital. These resources allow individuals and groups to participate in different social fields and compete for recognition and power.

A comparative analysis of different social groups (businessmen, politicians, scientists, artists, sportsmen, etc.) and their status-role positions in different social fields including economics, politics, science, culture, sports, etc. was carried out.

It was shown how money affects the opportunities and constraints of these groups, as well as their strategies of behaviour and self-identification.

It is concluded that money is not only a medium of exchange and store of value, but also a powerful symbol of social status and cultural capital. Money determines not only the material standard of living, but also social belonging, the role of individuals and groups in society.

Money contributes to the processes of socio-cultural transformation of status-role positions, as it creates new opportunities for mobility, innovation and diversification.
