Saturday, August 26, 2023
9:00am – 10:30am (New York)
Location: Caribbean 3
Core Competency: 1 Resource Development: 0.5
In this session, you will learn: • Why the brain naturally avoids discomfort. • How to help your clients do the hard things even when their brain’s telling them to do the opposite. • How to use fun as a tool to help your client make hard things more enjoyable by: o Fun-Fusing: Pairing difficult things with fun things. o Fun-Framing: Reframing threats to challenges and gamifying difficult tasks. o Fun-Friending: Utilizing friends and colleagues for fun and accountability with productivity sprints. o Fun-Setting: To recharge when your client's batteries are low. o Fun-Vesting: Using daily deposits of fun to build stress resilience.
You'll workshop how to: • Make feedback feel exciting instead of threatening. • Overcome the procrastination monster. • Prioritize fun and wellness to build up your resilience reservoir. • See that everything your client wants lies on the other side of discomfort.
If you’re serious about learning the skills to empower your clients to live the life they've always wanted, skillfully embracing discomfort is where it starts.
Learning Objectives:
Demonstrate how to facilitate “getting-out-of-your-comfort-zone-exercises" with clients, which will help them build the necessary cognitive and emotional resources to do the difficult work of personal development.
Differentiate between whether a client needs help moving out of their comfort zone (needs more challenge) or whether they need help moving out of the panic zone (needs less challenge).
Define for clients how their brain naturally resists discomfort, and then show that with skillful application, the client can make the discomfort of growth more rewarding by adding fun, play, and enjoyment.
