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.

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.

Instead, we have synthesized breakthrough discoveries and landmark developments into a rigorous, cohesive system for lasting change.

Change this one thing and you change your whole life

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.
