Relying on willpower is like expecting your phone to run all day on 1% battery — it simply isn’t built for that. In this webinar, leading habit researcher Dr. Gina Cleo will unpack why sustainable change comes from habits, not willpower.
We’ll explore what happens when exhaustion sets in and we lose willpower, why do we slip back into old patterns, and how habits can be reprogrammed at any stage of life. You’ll learn what behavioural science now understands about how habits form, how long change truly takes, and what makes new behaviours stick.
Gina will guide us through the latest research on how the brain encodes routines, and how we can use this knowledge to create rapid and lasting shifts in yourself and your clients With practical, science-grounded strategies, you will gain the skills to replace unhelpful patterns with habits that support long-term wellbeing and performance.
Takeaways for coaches:
- Understanding the science of habits
- Busting myths around habits, motivation and self-control
- Through this knowledge how we can help our clients create new sustainable habits
