Get better at the coaching part.
Short, evidence-based tips on the conversations that change behaviour. Each one comes with words to say in session and something to try today.
Tie new habits to existing ones (habit stacking)
Linking a new behaviour to an existing routine dramatically increases follow-through by using established neural pathways as an anchor.
Make the target behaviour ridiculously small to start
Shrinking a new behaviour to its smallest possible form lowers the motivation threshold, making the first repetition almost effortless.
Turn intentions into action with if-then planning
Specifying exactly when, where, and how a behaviour will happen — not just that it will — more than doubles the likelihood of follow-through.
Design the environment to make the right behaviour the easy one
Changing the physical and social context — removing friction from good behaviours and adding it to bad ones — is more reliable than relying on willpower or motivation.
Shift from outcome goals to identity-based habits
Behaviours stick when they reinforce who the client believes they are. Reframing goals as "becoming the kind of person who…" outlasts willpower or external incentives.
