People change by doing and by experiencing.
Simply being told what to do is not sustainable when attempting to ignite positive personal change. We are often presented with a “Do this, don’t do that” approach, expected by others to summon up unlimited motivation and to perform at a high level.
This may provide some short-term change, but it is not sustainable over the long term. Particularly when priorities conflict and we haven’t built the skills to adapt. Fearless Health avoids dependence on plans that often don’t fit your lifestyle. Instead, we believe in habit-based (or practice-based) coaching. Habit-based coaching is rooted in the best practices of change psychology. In effect, it is built on the latest science of what actually helps people develop new skills and make meaningful changes in their lives. So instead of forcing you to become single-minded, unthinking, obedient goal-chasing machines. We give clients a series of 2-week habits — which are both solid and flexible — to help them build the skills necessary to make better lifestyle choices today (and for life). This is what produces lasting results.
Fearless Health believes people can achieve their goals when they do two things:
1) Break down what they want to do (goal) into specific aptitudes (skills) and 2) build those aptitudes (skills) through strategic daily habits (practices). It looks like this:
Practice daily to build skills. Build skills to achieve goals.
Ultimately, growth and development come through daily practices and supplementary experiences that take place in supportive environments. The alternative—being goal focused and discipline-oriented—fails to recognize that self-control is an exhaustible commodity.
Beyond the individual, growing companies know that coaching works! Research shows that business and leadership coaching is the best way to create sustainable leadership growth, which directly impacts the success of an enterprise. Coaching is a proven method that assists a person as they become a complete leader. Coaching helps good leaders become great. Coaches facilitate, challenge, endorse, and inspire others to become the best version of themselves. Coaching is powerful because the process provides personalized structure, feedback, and accountability.
A good coach is able to generate a noticeable shift in a leader’s knowledge and behavior. How? By centering the coaching around a person’s work experiences and current challenges while simultaneously focusing on the future desired outcome. Coaching assumes people are ready to act. It is always client-driven, enhancing people’s agenda, goals, and motivations.
Coaching helps people not just think differently, but live differently.
