  • How to Make New Habits Stick

    In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I explore why bad habits seem to stick like Velcro while good ones slide off like Teflon. Starting the new year with aspirations to build better routines can be challenging, but I share four practical strategies to make your new habits stick using the acronym FEAD.

    FEAD stands for:

    Force: Use cues and accountability to create momentum, such as laying out workout clothes the night before or working out with a friend.Eliminate: Remove distractions and hurdles that derail your progress—like keeping your phone out of the bedroom or locker.Automate: Integrate tools or systems that prompt action, such as apps, fitness classes, or training schedules.Delegate: Enlist others to help keep you accountable, whether that’s a personal trainer or someone turning off the office lights at a set time.

    These tips are designed to help you feed your new habits, making them easier to adopt and maintain. By implementing this framework, you can move closer to your goals with greater ease and consistency.

  • How to Set Achievable Goals

    In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I delve into the art of goal setting, particularly for high-achieving leaders and professionals striving to make impactful changes in their lives this year.

    From my experience coaching senior leaders over the past 12 years, I’ve noticed a recurring challenge: the tendency to set overly ambitious personal goals that don’t align with current starting points. This often leads to frustration and failure when these lofty targets aren’t met, resulting in an all-or-nothing mindset.

    I advocate for a more sustainable approach—setting realistic and achievable goals based on where you are right now. For instance, instead of aiming to work out for an hour four times a week, start with 40-minute sessions three times a week. This approach builds momentum, fosters positivity, and creates a virtuous cycle of success, allowing you to gradually raise the bar.

    Key Takeaways:Ambitious goals are great but must be grounded in reality to avoid a sense of failure.Start small and achievable to build momentum and foster an upward spiral of positivity.Gradually stretch your goals as you gain confidence and consistency.

    Stay tuned for the next episode, where I’ll share four practical tips to embed new habits or routines into your daily life.
