Three Steps to Change Your Brain - # 3

Step # 3 - Practice. Changing neural pathways takes attention density, the repeated and concentrated attention to a new way of thinking or acting. This takes time. Standard coaching engagements are 6 months or longer, with frequent meetings (usually weekly) at first to identify the new behaviors and begin the arduous work of paying attention and changing. Supported by your coach, you practice desired behaviors during working hours. You then report back to your coach on results. Together, you fine-tune behaviors and maintain the high-level of attention needed to bring about lasting change.
