Introduction
A few things you’ll want to know about this course.
Benefits-Focused
Every single piece of information presented in this course will be focused on the benefits you’ll harvest from it.
This isn’t a class on the following topics.
There’s no trivia.
There’s no test.
Statistics and references will be thin.
I’m not trying to convince you of anything or make a point.
Each lesson is centered around the benefit and how to get that benefit… little more.
Forgetting Curve
We forget things over time.
But, with intervals of repetition, our memory becomes more and more fixed.
This course takes advantage of that and recaps all previous information every 4-6 chapters.
That means you won’t have to do any of the work of remembering.
Your brain will do it automatically due to repeat exposure.
It will be super easy and simple.
Each repetition will be presented in a slightly different way so that it will stay interesting.
Writing by Hand
Improves Retention
There’s something about writing things by hand that causes your brain to encode the information more reliably than typing or, worse, not writing it down at all.
Whether you go back to look at your notes or not, just the act of writing them out by hand will help you remember what you wrote better.
Homework
The homework at the end of each lesson is designed to minimize the effort you need to put in, yourself, to keep track of and succeed with your new habits.
The homework is meant to guide you with clarity what each step is each day.
All you have to do is spend the few minutes at the end of each lesson completing the task at hand, and you’ll be on your path forward.
Epiphanies
& Consistency.
Sometimes we really do figure it out.
…and it’s like the whole universe comes together at that very moment and we know exactly what we need to do.
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel.
It’s the breath of air after slipping beneath the water.
It’s the ray of hope in a field of despair.
In that moment, it seems that all will be well. Our problems will finally be fixed.
And then…
And then we slip.
We fall back into our old routines.
We lose sight of the wisdom we gained and crash into our past selves.
It feels hopeless.
It feels like we can never change.
It feels like nothing will ever solve our woes.
This is because the epiphany is not enough.
We need the consistency to follow-through with it.
This is where your leadership journals come in.
This is where your homework comes in.
This is where showing up day after day comes in.
It’s difficult to start a new life on your own.
…which is why you’re lucky we’re all here with you. There’s a whole community ready to support you.
And, this course is going to hold your hand every step of the way.
All you have to do is show up.
This is the end of the Introduction chapter.
