Creating Behavioral Change that Lasts
Creating Behavioral Change that Lasts
What you’ll learn
Skills you’ll gain
It’s no secret that your behaviors create your results. Behavioral change is necessary to make real progress or achieve any worthy goal. As you've surely heard, “What got you here won't get you there.” But as anyone who's tried to effect change longer than a day or a week can tell you, change can be hard. So how can you create change that lasts? In this course from leadership coach Ramona Shaw, you'll learn how to make permanent changes to accomplish your goals, both big and small. You'll learn how change really happens, and what spells the difference between change that sticks, and change that never quite “takes.” You'll discover how to identify your own barriers to change, along with concrete strategies to overcome them. If you aren't happy with something in your life right now, this course will help you craft new habits for greater success.
