Creating Behavioral Change that Lasts
About this course
By the end of this course, you'll be able to define a specific behavior worth changing, name the thoughts and emotions driving your current pattern, and build a small consistent action you can sustain long enough for a new habit to take hold. Most behavior change advice tells you to try harder. This course takes a different approach: it shows you why willpower isn't the bottleneck and what actually is. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral coaching, and decades of experience helping leaders shift entrenched patterns, leadership coach Ramona Shaw walks you through the full anatomy of lasting change — from clarifying what's really at stake, to mapping the hidden payoffs of your current behavior, to designing triggers, rewards, and self-talk that work with your brain rather than against it. You'll leave with a practical toolkit you can apply the same day you finish: a personal change plan grounded in your own goal, the emotional stamina to sit with the discomfort that new behaviors create, and a self-compassionate response to the inevitable slips along the way. Whether you're trying to shift a small daily habit or a long-standing pattern at work, this course gives you the structure to make the change actually stick.
