In this presentation, the speaker explains how to move from a vague good intention—such as "be a better listener"—to concrete daily practices that actually produce change. The process begins by identifying the single most relevant intention for the individual, then breaking it down into small, repeatable actions. The speaker draws on eight years of deep research into behavior change and adult learning theory, citing foundational work by BJ Fogg (tiny habits), Charles Duhigg (habit loops), and Katie Milkman (behavioral science). A newly compiled dataset is introduced, which validates and extends these established theories, providing empirical support for the proposed practice‑translation framework. The overall message is that intentions become habits only when they are operationalized through specific, manageable daily actions grounded in proven behavioral science.

Chapters

Once they've identified what that one thing is from their session that is most relevant to me personally, then we want to help them take that good intention that they have, like, I'm going to be a better listener. Like, awesome. Love the intention. The challenge is you don't be a better listener, right? You don't do better listener. You become a better listener by applying small practices. And so part of the work then is taking that good intention and translating it into a daily practice. And this is where I geeked out for about 8 years, deep diving into behavior change and adult learning theory and how we actually, how do we change? And a lot of what we've built is, all of it is standing on the shoulders of giants like BJ Fogg and Charles Duhigg and Katie Milkman and those who have done really powerful deep research. And now we've got this really great dataset that validates and adds to it.
