How Be Your Own Best Coach Will Boost Your Career and Transform Your Life

When it comes to helping you get ahead in your career or achieve your personal goals, Be Your Own Best Coach does for participants what the iPhone did for communication.

Be Your Own Best Coach is big, different, and new.

In creating Be Your Own Best Coach, we don’t offer you a new version of the same old, same old.

Change this one thing and you change your whole life

We’ve refined and expanded this approach to transformational writing. We call our method Solution-focused StoryCrafting. It takes the best practices from therapeutic journaling and marries them to evidence-based interventions for behavior-change and personal transformation.

Solution-focused StoryCrafting takes you on a systematic journey that leaves behind narratives saturated with problems, failure, and frustration. It replaces them with a life story based on hope, confidence, and competence.

The negative bias compels us to pay more attention to negative than positive stuff. Plus, negative events and experiences imprint more quickly in our memories and stick around a lot longer than positive memories.

That’s because self-leadership is fundamental to individual and collective success.

The Upside . . . and Darkside of the Things in Your LIfe

The Upside . . . and Darkside of the Things in Your LIfe

In our Y-PET (You, People, Environment, and Things) framework, Things means the external factors--tools, props, gear, equipment, games, and challenges--that motivate and enable you to act in ways that help you achieve your goals.

“Leaders are supposed to know what skills and equipment are needed to get the job done right or to achieve a goal. If you have one but not the other--if you have the right skills but don’t have the right equipment--you’ll fail.”

The bottom line is that you must have both the right stuff and the right way to put it to use.

In fact, the best relationships not only are best at connecting, but they are best at biting and licking--or in human terms, recovering from conflict.
