The Be Your Own Best Coach Behavior Design Model illustrates the four key domains of your life that you must account for if you want to create successful, sustainable change: You, People, Environment, Things.
The Cost is Worth It: Crushing Threat Stressor Procrastination
When people talk about procrastination, it’s almost always about tasks they put off doing. The tasks can be related to challenge stressors–too much to do in too little time–or hindrance stressors–barriers that block you from carrying out the job. The solutions to these stressors can be effective and may even energize you. The solutions renew your sense of control, mastery, and productivity.
But threat stressors are a different story.
Threat stressors take a heavy toll on your social and emotional health, and even on your body. You can disarm the myth that keeps so many people locked into the procrastination related to threat stressors and correct the misconceptions about how to tackle that procrastination.
Transform Hindrance Stressors That Drive Procrastination
Hindrance stressors that lead to procrastination aren’t about usual stressors–the familiar stressors that constitute challenge stressors–too little time, too much to do, or the complexity of the task at hand. Here are effective ways to address hindrance stressors and overcome the procrastination it can trigger.
Six Factors That Make Self-Coaching Essential
As we emerge from the cataclysm of the Covid-19 pandemic, everyone is searching for ways to get back on track, feel whole again, and do better than simply survive. There’s no doubt that all kinds of external resources, including professionals, are important–if not crucial–to our success.
Ultimately, you need to go beyond what’s outside of yourself and cultivate your own internal resources . . . to become your own best coach.

What Makes Be Your Own Best Coach Like the iPhone?
Be Your Own Best Coach marries two powerful disciplines: solution-focused practice and behavior design, and unifies them through our Y-PET framework for change.
We help you put it all into action through our Solution-Focused StoryCrafting method, which connects up all the moving parts of a self-driven change process and makes good things happen.
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.
