Show Notes

In this podcast episode, Becca welcomes back Chad Ransom, an experienced educator, consultant and fellow habit-enthusiast. The discussion focuses on the importance of developing habits for coaches and leaders. Chad shares insights from his journey, emphasizing the impact of habits on personal effectiveness, efficiency and instructional practices.

The conversation explores decision fatigue, the misconception of the 21-day habit rule, and the need to identify and address ineffective habits (and their triggers) to create sustained change. Chad highlights the role of systems in supporting efficient communication and time management for leaders.

The episode concludes with practical advice on habit development, including habit stacking (as mentioned in Ep. 69 on New Year's Resolutions) and anticipating obstacles. Finally, leaving a few recommended resources such as "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg and "Atomic Habits" by James Clear for further exploration. 

Check out this episode to hear how habits can change the overall effectiveness and efficiency in coaches and leaders alike.
