A Southeast Regional Webinar 

Habits are our brain's go to tool to tackle almost any goal or task, which is why helping your clients get in the driver’s seat of their habit-making machinery can be a game changer.

Participants will walk away with everything you need to help your clients know to start making measurable change. Just like learning how to play the piano, learning how to form positive habits is a skill set. Attendees will learn concrete strategies and habit-building systems that will de-mystify why habit-building and behavior change are so hard, and how you can help your client overcome their internal obstacles. In the presentation, we will:

• Start with conversation around habits -- why they matter, why your brain automatically creates them.
• Move into the basics of neuroplasticity and how the brain rewires itself.
• Introduce challenges the brain has with motivation and willpower
• Have a discussion about the five top reasons why mini-habits are such a powerful tool.
• Have participants experience making their own habit-tracking system to use in their own habits that they want to create.
• Have participants bring up specific situations where they're trying to coach a client through behavior change and workshop the challenges.
