Podcasts about Transtheoretical model

Transformational Coaching is all about helping our coachees achieve a change in their lives, whether that be in terms of making lifestyle changes, changing the dynamics of a relationship, or the coachee just changing their perspective.   Change is at the forefront of everything we do and in this podcast episode we're exploring another model, which might just help us to explore the change process with our coachees. The Transtheoretical Model of Change has been used for half a century in the medical world in conversations around change.   Originally used in the context of addiction, the model is commonly used by medics exploring behavioural change relating to health. It also has its place in the coaching world when we're trying to understand where our coachee is on the journey to making the changes they want to see.   Resources:   Enjoy the podcast?

Send us a textBreaking down behavior change into manageable stages helps us understand why people struggle to make lasting changes and how we can better support them through the process. The Trans-Theoretical Model provides a practical framework for conceptualizing behavior change as a non-linear journey through six distinct stages, each requiring different therapeutic approaches.• Pre-contemplation - clients don't recognize they have a problem or need to change• Contemplation - weighing pros and cons while feeling ambivalent about making changes• Preparation - planning specific steps and intending to take action within the next month• Action - actively modifying behavior and implementing new strategies• Maintenance - sustaining changes for six months or more and focusing on relapse prevention• Termination - complete confidence in maintaining changes without risk of relapseRemember the stages with our simple memory trick: PCP AMT (Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance, Termination)If you're preparing for your licensing exam, understanding the Trans-Theoretical Model and its stages of change is essential knowledge that will likely appear in your test questions.If you need to study for your national licensing exam, try the free samplers at: LicensureExamsThis podcast is not associated with the NBCC, AMFTRB, ASW, ANCC, NASP, NAADAC, CCMC, NCPG, CRCC, or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.

This week on ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast⁠, I am introducing a brand-new series—Tarot Therapy! In this series, I'm returning to the foundation of my work, where I explore tarot through the lens of psycho-therapeutic models and theory. Each episode in this series will dive into a different psychological theory and/ or therapeutic model, blending them with tarot to deepen self-awareness and of course, personal growth. In this kickoff episode, I explore The Aces in tarot through the Transtheoretical Model of Change, also known as the Stages of Change. If you're part of The Tarot Diagnosis community, The Symposium, you might recognize this concept from a recent workshop. This episode serves as a deep dive into how each Ace corresponds to a different stage of change. Precontemplation → Ace of Cups: When we're unaware that change is needed. What are we oblivious to that needs to change? Contemplation → Ace of Swords: The moment clarity strikes, but doubt lingers. What's the story we tell ourselves about change? Preparation → Ace of Pentacles: Laying the foundation and gathering resources. What support do we need? Action → Ace of Wands: Taking bold steps toward transformation. What's one small action we can take right now? Maintenance → The Fool: Sustaining progress with curiosity and resilience. How do we keep moving forward? Throughout the episode, I pull cards to explore each stage more deeply, offering prompts and reflections for your own tarot practice. Plus, I've modified the Celtic Cross spread to align with the Stages of Change—head over to Instagram (@TheTarotDiagnosis) to check it out! If you're ready to explore transformation through tarot and psychology, this episode is for you. Listen now and let's dive into Tarot Therapy!

This past semester, I taught a graduate-level class in Addictions Counseling.  In this class, I frequently promoted the Transtheoretical Model.  This episode will discuss the Transtheoretical Model (also called Stages of Change) and how the model can be applied to changing a behavior (whether it be quitting an addiction or starting a new habit).

Cindy Esliger addresses change in this episode. Change is necessary to alter our career trajectories and meet our goals. But change also demands more than just ambition: it requires intention, perseverance, and the non-linear reality of doing things differently. It also requires facing things like systemic challenges and internal obstacles. Cindy offers guidance through the difficult, messy, and powerful subject of change.One of the important points Cindy stresses is that change isn't something that happens to us, it's something we must actively pursue. It's more than simply moving from point A to point B, it's about taking control of our career and steering it ourselves. To help illustrate how to make significant life changes, Cindy explores the Stages of Change model developed in the early 1980s as a tool to describe behavioural change for addiction. It names the six stages of change as pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and relapse, which Cindy unpacks.Making a lasting change often feels like being in a labyrinth without a clear view of the exit. We will hit dead ends, take wrong turns, and sometimes find ourselves back where we started. However, none of those setbacks mean we're on the wrong path. It's just that setbacks are part of the process of change. Cindy shares four strategies for navigating change, how to accept that the decision to change will require sustained and flexible effort, and why it will be worthwhile in the end. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Embracing the Power of ChangeAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Send us a textHow does lasting behavior change happen, and where's the evidence to support it? In this episode, we break down the science of behavior change using the analogy of climbing a hill—because like any steep climb, the journey to change is hard, but preparation is just as important as taking that first step.We dive into three key models that help us understand the process of change: Motivational Interviewing, the Transtheoretical Model of Change, and Social Cognitive Theory. At the bottom of the hill, you're in the pre-contemplation stage—thinking about change but not yet ready. We'll explore how Motivational Interviewing helps guide clients through the DARN framework (Desire, Ability, Reasons, and Need) to build momentum.As you begin climbing, you face contemplation and preparation, stages two and three of the Transtheoretical Model. Overcoming ambivalence and building self-belief are key to reaching the other side. We'll discuss how vicarious stories of success and environmental support from Social Cognitive Theory play a role in developing confidence to keep moving forward.Reaching the peak, you start to experience the action and maintenance stages (stages four and five), where change talk—fueled by CAT (Commitment, Activation, and Taking Steps)—begins to drive momentum. We'll discuss the importance of reinforcement, positive feedback, and observational learning in sustaining progress.Finally, you'll find yourself on the other side of the hill—the termination stage, where your new behaviors align with your identity. But remember: change is not linear. It's not about perfection, it's about progress, and every step forward is a victory in itself.Whether you're a coach guiding others or someone on your own journey of change, this episode will equip you with the insights and evidence to help make that climb. Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

In this episode, we delve into the world of leadership coaching, exploring the evidence-based theories that underpin its effectiveness. Coaching is a powerful tool for personal and professional development, leveraging psychological and social dynamics to foster growth and change.We begin by discussing scientific coaching models and theories that emphasize learning, growth and development.Some of the core theories that make coaching so effective, that we discuss in this episode are:Motivational Interviewing (MI): A client-centered approach enhances intrinsic motivation by exploring and resolving ambivalence.Appreciative Inquiry (AI): Focusing on strengths and successes fosters positive change and builds confidence.Self-Determination Theory (SDT): Understand how coaching satisfies the innate psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness to drive growth.Social Cognitive Theory (SCT): Explore the importance of observational learning, imitation, and modeling in behavior change.Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTM): Gain insights into how coaching addresses different stages of change with tailored support and interventions.We also discuss the unique benefits of integrating these theories into the coaching process, creating a holistic support system that enhances motivation, learning, and behavior change. By focusing on values, vision creation, outcome goals, and behavior change, coaching addresses the psychological, emotional, and neurobiological aspects of change.Additionally, we explore why coaching is different from traditional learning environments, emphasizing its participant-centered, holistic approach grounded in evidence-based principles.Finally, we highlight the benefits of group coaching options, including peer support, diverse perspectives, enhanced learning environments, and the development of a supportive community.Whether you're a coach, a coachee, or simply curious about the science behind effective coaching, this episode offers valuable insights and practical takeaways.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

People range in their readiness to make changes to different behaviors. Processes occurring naturally in each stage differ across the spectrum of readiness to for behavior change. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Carlo DiClemente about the origins and development of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change. This model has become a standard and common language for a generation of behavior change specialists working with people experiencing addiction, in addition to many other health-related behavior changes. Dr. DiClemente is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology the the University of Maryland Baltimore County and a former President of the the Society of Addiction Psychology.

In the month of April, we welcome change and new beginnings. Change can be challenging, especially when trying to break a bad habit or behavior. In this episode or session, we will delve into the Transtheoretical Model and its application in 12-step programs or other therapeutic approaches to replace addiction or unhealthy behavior with positive lifestyle changes.

If you've ever taken an introductory psychology class or done some reading on human behavior and development, you've probably stumbled across the Transtheoretical Model, better known as the Stages of Change. It offers some insights into how behavior change happens, why it sometimes doesn't (or seems like it doesn't) and how we can better support behavior change efforts–both our own and those of people around us. But there are some nuances to this that I think deserve a little more exploration and who better to do that with than clinical psychologist and friend of the podcast, Dr. Bethy Campbell?We have also created an assessment for you to get a read on where you are in relationship to any change you are working on or contemplating, along with a playlist of Change Academy episodes targeting that particular stage of change. Key Takeaways- By aligning our helping strategies with the helpee's readiness, we enhance the effectiveness of our support,- The stages of change are not linear.  It's normal to move back and forth as you progress through your behavior change journey.- Before a change is ever expressed in someone's actions, there's actually a lot of change that has taken place. - Change is a complex process and may involve being at several different stages of change simultaneously.MentionedLifeRAFT Model , by Dr. Elizabeth CampbellAttention Attention Action Cycle (Change Academy episode #11)Assessment: How ready are you? ★ Support this podcast ★

There can be points on the journey to FI where you feel that you may not be able to accomplish your goals, or even take advantage of some of the hacks we talk about on the show. But sometimes all it requires is for you not to limit yourself and just think outside the box. This week we are re-joined by friend of the podcast Ginger to discuss how the transtheoretical model of change can apply to those on the path to FI, as well as read your emails and answer some of your questions on this installment of Round-Up. Oftentimes, we forget how flexible and capable of change we really are, and its life's curveballs that make this journey different for everyone. While setbacks can put you off from pursuing your goals, or make you feel as if you don't belong on this path, they shouldn't deter you from attacking your goals.  When you can accept that changing and adapting does not equal failure, you not only open yourself up to new options and possibilities, but exceed your own expectations while on the path to FI!

Being human means that we have parts of us we might not be so keen on. We don't have to change ourselves all the time, but we may want to continue to GROW. And that takes some change. This post and episode is for you if You are wondering why you can't change a habit. You bounce back and forth between changing what you eat or how you exercise, only to go back to your old way of doing things. You tell yourself you need to “get it together” and “get more willpower”. NO. You feel bad about yourself when you don't change. You feel STUCK trying to change. Many of you are contemplating your health and your goals, for the coming year, in the form of a New Year's Resolution. 80% of New Year's Resolutions are bound to fail.  Why is this, do you think? It takes work to change. Change gets uncomfortable. There is some stress involved in change. I'm taking a behavior change model, called the Stages of Change, (the Transtheoretical Model of Change), and looking at how we can apply it to our regular, every day lives.

Es gibt kaum ein Thema der gesundheitsfördernden Gestaltung, das so komplex und vielseitig ist, wie das Gesundheitsverhalten. Diese Gesamtheit von bewussten und unbewussten Verhaltensweisen, Einstellungen, Routinen und mehr, die sich auf die Gesundheit auswirken, finden wir in nahezu allen Facetten unseres Lebens. Vom morgendlichen Zähneputzen über die Auswahl unseres Frühstücks, den Arbeitsweg und die Arbeitssituation selbst bis hin zu unseren Freizeitbeschäftigungen und medizinischen Terminen – immer kann unser Gesundheitsverhalten dazu beitragen Gesundheit wiederherzustellen, aufrechtzuerhalten oder zu verbessern. In dieser Basic-Folge nähern wir uns diesem Thema, indem wir zunächst umreißen, was Gesundheitsverhalten ist und wodurch es beeinflusst wird. Dazu werden gesundheitspsychologische Theoriemodelle herangezogen. Anschließend werden diese theoretischen Ansätze konkret auf das Feld der Gestaltung übertragen und erörtert, auf welche Weise Gestaltung selbst das Gesundheitsverhalten beeinflussen kann.   ---------- Relevante Links und weiterführende Informationen hierzu sind: Bandura, Albert (1978): Self-Efficacy.

Why is it so hard to make sustaining change, especially in relationships? What are the Stages of Change? How can you provide yourself with tenderness if and when you find yourself struggling to change, ya dummy? Welcome to episode 72! In this episode, we will be answering: what is it going to take for you to make a change in your life? I will walk you through the 5 (ahem, 6) Stages of Change to help you understand why it is so hard to make changes, especially in your relationships. If you struggle to set boundaries, assert your needs, or make necessary changes to your relationships–this episode is a must-listen for you! After walking you through the Stages of Change, I then apply them to a past dating relationship to build your understanding. It was a painful relationship. It was painful to revisit. I hope that by seeing the Stages of Change in action, you will provide yourself with better compassion as you make changes in your life.  Helpful links: www.codependummy.com/toolsforhealing - check out The Confiding Codependummy for just $1 a day for the next month (it's $30 total).  www.codependummy.com - check out the Self-Validation Challenge for free! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=RJ3PSNZ4AF7QC - help support the show via a one-time donation via secure Paypal link!  More deets on this week's episode: We start off with a serenade and check-in.  Next, I share some background on The Stages of Change: the Transtheoretical Model of Change which is the basis for developing effective interventions to promote health behavior change first published by Prochaska & DiClemente in 1983. It has 5 stages but we will include 6: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and the sixth is relapse. Relapse is not necessary but it often happens which is why it is included as the 6th stage.  Short breakdown: Precontemplation - it's in the word itself. Pre, as in before, contemplation. Nothing much is happening at this stage, however, data/observations/experiences are being collected. Contemplation - the action of looking thoughtfully at something FOR A LONG TIME, deep reflective thought. You've gone from 0 to awareness that a change is needed.  Preparation - in this stage, you are prepping yourself to take action sooner than later. You've recognized a need for change and now you are prepping internally and externally. Action! - in this stage, actions are taken to make change. It's observable, explicit, external behavior. Maintenance - you work to maintain whatever changes/actions you have made. This is all to prevent regression and/or relapse. Re lapse - or regression. In this stage, you revert to an earlier stage of change - contemplation, preparation, etc.  I then apply 6 stages to my past relationship with a homeless man.  Questions for you:  If you have a current struggle, toxic relationship, addiction, challenge in your life–where do you sense you are in the SOC? What experience can you look back on in your life to see your own process in going through the SOC? How can you practice tenderness towards yourself given where you currently are in the SOC in relation to your current struggle? What, if any, step can you take to move forward into the next stage? One step–one action–one call.  How can you practice compassion for others given where they are in their SOC journey? Is this a helpful lens to apply to your life? If so, do, if not, don't! The end!

Why is it that simply deciding to do something isn't enough? Sure you have  to take consistent action towards what you want but is there an underlying issue that gets in the way? There definitely could be and it can simply be where you're at in life. The Transtheoretical Model or Stages of Change can help you identify where you're at and you can decide how to move forward. Let's inspire each other xo

 There's no such thing as "Capital-T Trauma." Emotional trauma is simply any experience that drives us to deny parts of ourselves for the sake of staying safe.Alexithymia (not feeling our feelings) can be attributed to trauma: we have experiences that drive us to close and lock doors in our "mansions of self," but in doing so, we lock away our access to the emotions attached to those experiences. Can we change??Conditioning/programming? Ryan says no, Abby says yes. Ryan eventually says maybe.Actions/behaviors? Abby & Ryan agree that we can absolutely change those.Nature vs. Nurture. The stuff we can change is nurture, but we mistake a LOT of nurture stuff for nature stuff.The Transtheoretical Change ModelPre-contemplation (unconscious incompetence) - Grief: DenialContemplation (conscious incompetence A) - Grief: AngerPreparation (conscious incompetence B) - Grief: BargainingAction (conscious competence) - Grief: DepressionMaintenance (unconscious competence) - Grief: AcceptanceWhen you're an adult working through this cycle, your inner traumatized child has already gone through it (the trauma was the first change cycle), and is in maintenance mode. The change cycle you go through as an adult is the process of healing from the part of you that's in maintenance mode.GRATITUDES:Ryan is grateful that Abby gave him clarity on his message during this episode.Abby is grateful for the people in her life who give her opportunities to practice choosing to be her best self.TIME CODES:3:00 - Body Tests7:15 - Alexithymia & Trauma18:21 - Can people really change?45:40 - The Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change    MODEETS:Join our tribe at patreon.com/truenorth11Get life coaching from Abby at IndigoCoaching.netCatch Ryan on TikTok at @the_holistic_mysticWatch us at TinyURL.com/TrueNorth11YouTubeEmail us at hello@truenorth11.comStalk us at truenorth11.com

Have you ever started to make a change in lifestyle because "it seemed like a good idea"?You know; "I want to start losing weight, I'll start Keto on Monday?" or "I'm signing up to a gym and that will get me exercising regularly because ..."I know I should""?And then later you find out that you weren't actually ready to make the required change/commitment to change yet. Well, that's what I'm talking about today.  I will take you through the transtheoretical model of change which is something I use with a lot of my "big lifestyle change" clients.I will talk about what it is, how it works and how you can be successful.And why, sometimes, you're just better off not changing anything just yet because it will work against you in the long run.Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.

Tony talks about a recent health scare "wait, am I seriously having a heart attack?" and how that led to his desire to be more present, grateful and to make changes in his life. But do major life scares, events, even near-death-experiences (NDEs) lead to long-lasting change? Tony reviews this 5 steps of the "Transtheoretical Model of Change" or TTM from the article "Why it's Hard to Change Unhealthy Behavior - and Why You Should Keep Trying" from Harvard Medical School's Harvard Health Publishing site. https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/why-its-hard-to-change-unhealthy-behavior-and-why-you-should-keep-trying Please subscribe to The Virtual Couch YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/TheVirtualCouchPodcast/ and follow The Virtual Couch on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/virtualcouch/ This episode of The Virtual Couch is sponsored by http://betterhelp.com/virtualcouch With the continuing “sheltering” rules that are spreading across the country PLEASE do not think that you can’t continue or begin therapy now. http://betterhelp.com/virtualcouch can put you quickly in touch with licensed mental health professionals who can meet through text, email, or videoconference often as soon as 24-48 hours.

In this solo Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast episode, host Nicole Hagen talks about the Stages of Change, according to the Transtheoretical Model. When creating change; whether it be in our health, our body, or in our relationship with food, we often expect (or at least wish for) the process to be quick and painless. But that's not how creating change works. Nicole talks about the six stages that we all go through when creating change and highlights just how important it a slow pace is when creating sustainable progress.

Why are some people able to change their behavior, while others are not? This is a very important question, especially when it comes to health. We are increasingly coming to appreciate the importance of lifestyle and behavioral factors in influencing health outcomes. On this episode, I discuss theories of behavior change and the factors researchers have found are most important in driving health behavior. I discuss some popular psychological theories that have successfully been applied to health behavior. These theories include: The Health Belief Model, The Theory of Reasoned Action, The Theory of Planned Behavior, The Transtheoretical Model of Change, Social Cognitive Theory, and Ecological theories. Together, these theories form a broad picture of which psychosocial forces most impact people's health behaviors, including their ability to change and adopt healthier habits.

In this episode we break down the myth of “non-compliance”, introduce the Transtheoretical Model (i.e. stages of change), and provide practical strategies for working with patients at each stage. The “non-compliance” myth propagates a hierarchical relationship between the Provider / patient and doesn't take into account natural human ambivalence when it comes to change.  Instead, we've shifted to assessing all patients for their readiness to change. We briefly describe each stage from the Transtheoretical Model, how to listen for “stage talk”, and share our strategies for working with patients in each stage. We also explore common misconceptions when implementing this model in clinical practice. Our goal is to “meet people where they are”. We've found this improves our rapport, collaboration, and minimizes stress on both parties. In doing so, we may support patients moving to the next stage. However, change takes time and not everyone will end up in Action / Maintenance. With this understanding, we can reduce the shame that so commonly comes up with change and instead empower our patients to begin where they are.  Highlights from Episode 3: Readiness to Change [0:46] Non-compliance [5:03] Introducing Stages of Change  [6:34] Precontemplation Stage [8:25] Listening for “stage talk” [14:14] Biggest caveat to stages of change [15:25] Contemplation Stage [17:34] Preparation Stage [19:44] Action Stage [22:33] Relapse  [25:00] Empowering vs shaming change  Thank you for listening to this episode of The Conscious Clinician.

You know the Stages of Change (or Transtheoretical Model of Change) model. It was developed in 1983 by Prochaska and Diclemente and has since become a cornerstone for health coaches, wellness coaches, performance coaches, counselors, life coaches, physicians, physical therapists and countless individuals looking to improve their lives.

Most of what we do in functional medicine revolves around some type of behavioral change. Patients struggle with adopting these positive changes in diet, movement, and mindfulness. Instead of labelling patients as ‘noncompliant’, what if clinicians could meet patients where they are and help them through the process? The Transtheoretical Model was developed to help understand behavior and can be used in practice to promote compliance. In today’s episode, we discuss the stages of behavior change and offer useful tips on how to approach coaching and educating patients.   Today on The Lab Report: 2:00 The Transtheoretical Model 5:10 Precontemplation and recognition 9:40 Contemplation and acceptance 12:10 Preparation and planning 14:30 Action and health coaching 16:45 Maintenance and new behavior 17:30 Question of the Day: What are the critiques of the Transtheoretical Model?   Subscribe, Rate, & Review The Lab Report Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of The Lab Report, presented by Genova Diagnostics, with your hosts Michael Chapman and Patti Devers.

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Kathleen Martin Ginis as we chat about behavior change theory: the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) , the Behavior Change Wheel, and why the Transtheoretical Model of Change is old news. The Spinal Cord Injury Special Interest Group is part of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy – www.neuropt.org

Sometimes, I interview a guest and we cover everything I wanted to talk about and it's a great conversation. Sometime we go off in a different way completely and I have to throw out my whole plane. And that also can turn into a great conversation. That's what happened with this conversation I had with Occupational Therapist Jane Connely , better known as "Heal the Brain with Jane." With the occasional chanting and loud child in the background, we talk about Jane's path to OT, the core elements of the OT field that Jane gets so passionate about, and how she helps survivors heal their lives after their injury. Bio Jane Connely is a Occupational Therapist and neuro specialist in San Luis Obispo, CA. Jane graduated from University of Southern California with her MA in Occupational Therapy in 2013. Her experience working with persons post brain injury pushed her to continue her training to become neuro-developmentally trained (NDT) beginning in 2015 and after 140 classroom hours finished her training in January of 2018 through recovering function. Through her work, Jane found the current system discharges survivors based on insurance rather than need, which caused a cycle of readmissions and increase in debility. The unmet needs of the brain injured population in San Luis Obispo County led her to begin Heal The Brain With Jane. Heal The Brain With Jane values current research regarding neuroplasticity and the practical application of this research in the daily lives of the brain injury survivor. Our organization understands that brain injury recovery is a delicate balance of physical, cognitive, and emotional health. All aspects must be addressed in order for the survivor to reach the highest level of recovery. Additionally, it is vital that this population receives continued care as recovery requires continued maintenance. Stroke and Social Media I met Jane through Instagram. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that it is a great tool to connect with other stroke related folks. Each platform has its own culture. They all have value. The key is to connect with the one you need at a particular point in time. Or the one that you can help others through. #Stroke on Twitter This community seems to be largely medical and industry professionals and researchers. It can be an interesting place to learn more about what happens in the field. You still need to watch it with a critical eye, but it can be informative. Be warned, though. Some people use stroke not in a brain injury context, but in reference to sex acts so you occasionally encounter adult content #Stroke on Instagram Survivors dominate the Stroke hashtag in Instagram. You'll also find a lot of OTs, PTs, and SLPs on there. Basically, the professionals that work directly with survivors are on there. Much of the conversation is around inspiration, working through therapy, and living the best post stroke life you can. But there is other stuff, too, because life is complex like that . Stroke communities on Facebook There are dozens of stroke related groups on Facebook. Each group develops its own subculture based on the choices the creator or admin makes. In my experience, you'll find a lot more people asking questions or expressing their frustration about stroke life on Facebook. These are broad generalizations that I hope  give you some context for some of the different groups. Explore a variety of them to find the communities that are right for you. Like Minded Jane recently launched a membership program called Like Minded. Here's how she describes it on her website: Welcome to Like Minded. This is a membership program for brain injury survivors, their families, and caregivers. Like Minded includes authors, nutritionists, yoga instructors and clinicians who are passionate about filling in the gaps of post stroke and post TBI care. Our leaders are survivors themselves or caretakers with intimate understanding of the recovery experience. These individuals have realized that their unique journey with brain injury granted them access into a very special community. The brain injury community is a supportive group of people who have been through it all and come out the other side with a burning desire to help you through this difficult time. Among the leaders/facilitators are several previous guest of the Strokecast, including: Dr. Karen Sullivan Joe Borges Ella Sofia It looks like a great program. You can learn more here.

https://jprochaska.com/books/changing-to-thrive-book/Do you know why you have failed every time you attempt to change a behavior that has been negatively impacting your health and wellbeing?  No, it is not lack of will power, poor genes, no motivation, or a plethora of excuses that keep you from finally achieving whatever it is you have been wanting to change.  The simple fact is, you likely lack the key and essential skill set of knowing how to change.  In this episode, Dr. Fragomeni will explain how he has modeled his programs around a coaching model he created that loosely follows the stages of change model as pioneered by Dr. James and Janice Prochaska.  If you are not familiar with the TTM, (Transtheoretical Model of Behavioral Change), then this episode is a must if you want to learn how to change any high-risk behavior.

Welcome to part one of a larger collection on The Transtheoretical Model (also called the Stages of Change Model), developed by Prochaska and DiClemente. This week we cover the first stage of change, the precontemplation phase. In this stage, people do not intend to take action in the foreseeable future (defined as within the next 6 months). People at this time are often unaware that their behavior is problematic or produces negative consequences.

Welcome to Good Medicine On the Go. We are your hosts, Dr. Nathan Morris and Kara Ware, Clinical Coordinator. In this week’s episode, we introduce ourselves and do a deeper dive into how we are reimagining the functional medicine journey. We discuss why Nutritional Genomics is more relevant in our society now than ever before, and why it’s important to make Functional Medicine more accessible and affordable to both bring in a new audience and reactivate former patients. Key Takeaways: [0:57] We (Dr. Nathan Morris and Kara Ware) have been long time business partners, and we are now reimagining Nathan’s practice from brick to click. [2:07] When we see a long journey ahead of us we can feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. Functional medicine focuses on the approach of “What is our first step?” [3:31] Our philosophy calls for creating a solid foundation to build on slowly, for long term success with our patients. When we follow the principles of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, we can prepare the patient for a deeper commitment both with their time and expenses. [4:11] Using tests such as 23andMe and Ancestry can help clinicians make a huge difference with their patients and pinpoint how their genetics have an impact on their health. [5:04] Nutritional Genomics is so relevant right now with the current environmental factors, stress, loss of structure, and rise of unemployment which may make us more vulnerable. [6:36] I think that's the big epiphany I had early on in my functional medicine practice, that I had to first make my visit affordable, secondly, make sure I didn't overwhelm patients with supplements, and most of all, I didn't want to overburden them with tests. [11:30] One of the most important things about Nutritional Genomics is working directly with your patient on what their key issues are, and how you can best help them with a few objectives and tangible steps. TeleMed appointments are perfect for this, as they can provide a short connection time to pinpoint what is needed. Quotes: “The curveballs are sometimes the best things that ever happen to you.” “Fear is not a great driver.” “Nutritional Genomics is preparing the patient for a deeper commitment to Functional Medicine’s process and partnership.” Mentioned: Good Medicine Pure Encapsulations PureGenomics Free 30-minute consult.

Have you noticed that creating change is hella hard? Like reeeaaaallly hard!? Do you ever wonder why some people seem to be more successful at creating change in their life when compared to others? Why is that? In today’s podcast episode I’m talking all about The Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (created by renowned psychologist, James Prochaska) and how you can move through these stages in order to kick old, unhelpful habits to the curb and create new habits to help you create the change you want to see in your life. If you’re trying to create change in your life, in your body composition, and/or in your relationship with food but you’re feeling stuck and frustrated by your lack of progress, today’s episode is for you! Let me help you create LASTING CHANGE! Links: Nutrition with Nicole Coaching Application: https://nutritioncoachingwithnicole.com/coaching-application

Back in the late 1970s, two researchers developed a model for evaluating those suffering through addiction in their journey toward health. The Transtheoretical Model, or more colloquially, Prochaska’s Stages of Change, went on to help social workers and therapists treat those suffering with transformational diagnoses for decades. As it turns out, the Stages of Change model works pretty well for us, too, as we think about our relationship to ADHD. This week on the show, Nikki introduces the Stages of Change with an eye on ADHD, and how you can use it to train yourself to better adapt to the world around you.Links & NotesChanging for Good: A Revolutionary Six-Stage Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life Positively Forward by James Prochaska

The Transtheoretical Model is of the most recognized systems used to treat problematic behaviors. Addressing issues of the mind before taking on issues of the body is the first step toward overall wellness. Creating a sustainable healthy lifestyle requires discipline, focus and patience.

Have you ever wanted to make a behavior change to your personal or professional life? Maybe you want to start eating healthy, pick up a new hobby, or live a more organized life. Whatever your "big change" is, there are five simple steps you can take to help conceptualize lasting and impactful changes to your behavior. All these steps are outlined in the Transtheoretical Model, a biopsychosocial model that incorporates five sequential stages to help you modify your behavior long-term. If you’re anything like me, you probably freaked out a little bit with the mention of the Transtheoretical Model. I mean, it sounds so serious. Thankfully, I know just the person who can help break it down for you into bite-sized chunks that you can follow and apply to your own life. Meet Rachel Miller Kroouze, a Health Communication and Education professional with experience in health and prevention programming. Rachel has always been interested in health communication and helping others make positive health behavioral changes. She’s also an organizer at heart and has a lot to say about the Transtheoretical Model and how it can fuel positive behavior changes in just about anyone. So, if you want to make some impactful changes to your personal or professional life using a tried and tested method with a proven track record of life-changing results, dig in!   Stage 1 – Precontemplation The precontemplation stage is when you don’t have any foreseeable intentions to change within the next six months. This is the very first stage of the Transtheoretical Model and you might not even notice you’re in it or have been in it in the past. You might have a few habits that aren’t doing you any favors. You continue to do them because you aren’t aware of the consequences. You’re probably not even aware that a problem exists and if you do, you’re ignoring it. Or, you might have even tried to put a stop to them in the past but failed and continued along the same path. Thinking the classic “failure is inevitable, so why try?” is a common thought to have when you’re at this stage of the process.   Stage 2 – Contemplation Ah, contemplation… an inner epiphany in which you finally start to think about change. This is when you know you need to make a change to your behavior and fully intend to do so within the next six months or so. To move from precontemplation to contemplation means something sparked you to put this goal to change on your radar. Maybe your doctor told you that you needed to make lifestyle changes for your health. Or, perhaps your home has run out of storage space and you realize it’s time to declutter and get organized. A wake-up call has happened and now you’re asking yourself what you should do next to address the problem. You begin thinking about what action you need to take, and you may spend weeks or even months hanging out in this contemplation stage, which is totally normal.   Stage 3 – Preparation When you move out of contemplation and into preparation, you’re ready to make a change. You know that you’ve reached a crossroads and you can’t linger in the middle forever. You need to move forward. The only thing stopping you is figuring out how you’re going to do it and what action you’re going to take. So, it’s time to make a plan of action. If you’re trying to organize your paper or get fit and healthy, for example, this is when you prepare and get yourself ready. You may want to learn how to get organized across the board, in which case the All Access Membership may be for you because it gives you EVERYTHING you need to get your home and paper organized in 365 days. But, if you want to focus on something more specific and keep most of your organizing to one day of the week, the Complete Sunday Basket System may be more to your liking. Take your time and have a look through our different offers to find what works for you. What’s going to help you make the behavioral changes in your life that you desire? Once you can answer that question, it makes the preparation stage so much easier. Rachel and I are both huge fans of the Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies Quiz, where you’ll discover whether you’re more of an upholder, questioner, obliger, or rebel. Understanding your tendency and how to leverage it to your advantage is a great way to help you find ways to plan for action, make better decisions, and meet your own expectations.   Stage 4 – Action The action stage of the Transtheoretical Model is when you’re in the process of making behavioral changes with your actions. You’ve made different modifications to your lifestyle and are trying to turn these into habits that will soon become second nature. The strength of action comes from the preparation stage. So, if you’ve prepared well enough, you’ll be more than ready to take some action and make the necessary changes in your life that you know you need to make. Action is when you’ve convinced yourself why this is something you need to change and act on. You've prepared yourself, done the research, got all the approvals, everything is in line, and you’re ready to do the thing! Remember that action includes making modifications as you go. Nothing is set in stone. If you find that something isn’t working for you and you want to change it, do it.   Stage 5 – Maintenance Once you reach the final stage, you’re maintaining the changes for a prolonged period of time. You’ve been working hard to sustain the behavior change and as the months go by, you’re working to prevent a relapse. The more you do something, the easier it becomes. As you develop new behaviors, the initial resistance you felt at the beginning gets lower. You start to see the benefits of what you’re doing, and you’ll be even happier with the decision you’ve made. Maintenance is the stage we all aim for when we set out to make a positive behavior change in our personal or professional lives. If you find that you make your way through these steps, only to find something that didn’t work for you or maybe you’ve “fallen off the wagon” and are right back at the first step again, don’t be too hard on yourself. Each time you climb up the staircase, you build upon it. You’ve been there before, and you know where the squeaky step is. You know what not to do and you know what you need to change in order to make it this time. And you WILL make it! Rachel is a member of the Organize 365 Facebook group and we expect a lot of interesting conversations to come from this episode of the podcast (and blog post) so if you want to talk to her more and get involved with the discussion, join the Facebook group – we’d love to hear from you!

In this episode, my husband and I go over the 6 phases of behavior change via the Transtheoretical Model. The phases are: 1) Precontemplation - where people don't even know they need to make a behavior change yet 2) Contemplation - people are considering making a change 3) Preparation/determination - planning phases of making a behavior change 4) Action - freshly implementing a behavior change 5) Maintenance - holding steady on consistently performing a behavior change 6) Termination - people are never going back to the way they once behaved We also go over limitations of this model as well as personal awareness strategies to determine which phase of the model you fall into and how you can make your next step. We hope you learn something you can implement into your own life!

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, and today I’m joined here live with Mr Kmak to talk about the different stages of change you will go through during your transformation. It’s a little different to the phases we talk about in the RNT journey, and instead, this discussion is based on the transtheoretical model, which is a psychological theory from the 80s that’s been used in many fields to help the process of altering problematic behaviour patterns such as smoking, eating junk or a sedentary lifestyle. Through this, we also discuss our own personal experiences of letting go of perceptions, comparisons and other limiting beliefs that have been guilty of taking us down spirals of paralysis by analysis and spinning our wheels.

“Dispelling Myths about Smoking, Mental Health/Substance Use Disorders and Recovery” was presented on February 19, 2019; by Rosemary Bak Lowery, MS, CHES®, CNP, ACSM-CPT; Certified Health Education Specialist. Adults with mental illness, including substance use disorder (SUD,) are at risk of dying 25 years earlier than the general population. The major contributor to this premature mortality is smoking-related disease. While cigarette smoking has trended downward in recent years, it is still highly prevalent in adults with mental health and/or substance use disorder (MH/SUD). Why is this so? Recent research has suggested that the biggest issue lies with the many common myths and misperceptions about the relationship between smoking, MH/SUD and recovery. This program will shed light on popularly-cited “facts” about smoking, reinforced by both consumers and care professionals alike. Viewers will gain a deeper understanding of the extent of this public health problem and understand how they can be a part of the solution. People struggling to quit, or afraid to try because of a fear of adverse consequences, may gain hope as they learn about the true relationship between smoking and MH/SUD. The fact of the matter is: People with MH/SUD can quit smoking, and when they do, they experience improved mental health and greater success in SUD recovery. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about substance use disorders, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.

Blair and David analyze and then look beyond the requests for reassurance potential clients make during the late stage of a sale to address their underlying motivations.   LINKS “Transtheoretical Model” (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983; Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, 1992)   TRANSCRIPT DAVID C. BAKER: Blair, today I want to ask you about something that I've heard you talk about for many years and it's this notion of alternative forms of reassurance. BLAIR ENNS: Yeah. DAVID: We used to do this event together and we did it for like 10 years running. BLAIR: You mean that one where I carried the both of us. DAVID: Yeah. That's the one, right. Yeah. Yeah, that's definitely the one. I remember listening particularly attentively to this one section that you used to talk about because it was a new concept to me, but I was also really fascinated by it and I thought, mainly I thought the title was just perfect and you called it something like the alternative forms of reassurance and as I recall at a certain point in the sales cycle when an agency is in the process of landing a new client, that prospective client still wants a little bit more information and they might ask for something and this was a way as I recall, where you could kind of redirect the question and provide alternative means of reassurance. You remember those days? BLAIR: Yeah, I remember those days fondly and the way you described it, I think of a judo move. We're talking about late in the sale and I guess I'll back up in a minute and explain why reassurance is important late and it's not important at all early, but we're talking about late in the sale when your job as a salesperson is to reassure this nervous late stage client and they ask you for things. I was counseled to look beyond the request, the specific request and look at the motivation for the request and sometimes the request is the negotiation, the request is to cut price. Maybe you're just negotiating, but maybe there's something else going on here or maybe they're asking for a money back guarantee or maybe they're asking for references or maybe they're asking to do things a little bit differently. DAVID: Right. BLAIR: In a lot of those situations, you have to think about what is the client buying from you. Anytime they hire your firm, they're buying a path to their desired future state, and so when you put forward a proposal in front of them with a price attached and they look at that price, you are essentially pricing their desired future state discounted for uncertainty. In every price, there is an uncertainty discount that's built in or there's some math around an uncertainty discount that the client is doing. Looking beyond the motivation for the request late in the buying cycle, again, it might be to cut price, it might be to offer references or it might be to do the engagement differently. It's not universal, but many times they see a lot of risk in the engagement and they're simply trying to mitigate that risk. They're trying to lower that uncertainty. BLAIR: So if the engagement fails because of what's known as performance risk and that is you're the provider, your questionable ability to do the job, if in the end you don't end up doing what you say you're going to or to the quality that you say you're going to and you affect the outcome, but then the client is on the hook for that and if they think there's a great chance that that's going to happen, then if it's really high, they won't hire you at all. But if it's a little bit lower than that, maybe they'll see the risk and decide, "Well, for the level of risk that I'm taking, I want a lower price." So that's just one example, asking for a lower price where the client's really just trying to mitigate their risk, factor in uncertainty or another way of putting it is they're looking to be reassured that everything's okay and those are all different kind of spins on what is essentially the same topic, a nervous late stage client wondering, "Well, what if this goes wrong?" DAVID: So if you handle this well, can you in effect eliminate that discount a bit from a pricing standpoint? If you handle that reassurance correctly, can you close that gap and leave less money on the table? Is that part of it as well? BLAIR: Oh, yeah. I couldn't sit here and say you're going to eliminate all discounts forever and still close the deal. But the vast majority of them, especially with good clients, like a value buyer who doesn't see themselves as spending on an expense, but investing in a solution or an opportunity, a value buyer who maybe starts negotiating or asking for a discount, you can almost always offer an alternative form of reassurance as long as you're able to look past the request and discern the true motivation and see what's going on underneath. If you don't mind, I wouldn't mind backing up and just talking about why reassurance is important late. DAVID: Yeah, sure. BLAIR: I'm fond of saying that selling isn't about talking people into things. My definition of selling is selling is three steps. It's helping the unaware, inspiring the interested and reassuring the intent, and this is a truncated, bastardized and otherwise manipulated version of a change management model that's called "The Transtheoretical Model" developed by Dr. James Prochaska and some of his colleagues, it often goes by TTM, so it's a model of understanding how people go about change and I would just interject here and say that I believe that buying is changing and therefore selling is change management, so that's a model. It's a way of looking at the world is thinking of buying is changing, therefore selling has change management. Okay, if you believe that, then you can go to the world and grab a number of these great change management models and there's a bunch of them out there. In the last 10 years, there's been some really interesting ones. BLAIR: You can take any of those change management models and you can apply it directly to the world of selling. This woman I worked with years ago, her name was Pauline O'Malley. She's a sales trainer in Vancouver. She dropped Prochaska's model in my lap. Now I don't teach so much to that model anymore other than the idea that you should think about the client going through this arch in the sale and they go from unaware of the fact that they have a problem to aware of the fact that they have a problem or opportunity and interested in solving it. When they're interested, they're kind of gathering information and assessing the pros and cons. Then they move to forming the intent to act. So they go from unaware to aware which we'll call interested and then intent, intent on solving their problem. BLAIR: I mentioned there's three steps, help the unaware, inspire the interested and reassure the intent. So let's just put help the unaware aside for a minute because that's really when you call somebody and say, "Hey, we're in the business of X. Can I be of assistance to you?" and they say, "I don't have any need for X." They don't have a problem. So let's put them aside. In your CRM, they would be a lead, maybe, but you wouldn't create an opportunity because there's no fit there on the subject of need. So that leaves the interested and the intent, an early stage buyer and a late stage buyer. So your job as salesperson is to inspire that early stage buyer who is interested, they're aware of the fact that they have a problem or an opportunity. They're gathering information, assessing the pros and cons and thinking about whether or not they should do something about it. BLAIR: When people are at that interested stage, they overweight in their mind the possible benefits of change. So they're quite prone to inspiration. So they're actively looking for an inspiration. They're looking for, if it's somebody buying design, they might be looking at portfolios. If they're buying advertising, they're looking at an advertising reel, they're looking at examples of best work and they're getting all emotional and inspired by it and they're trying to just move themselves to the next level where they form the intent to act. So somebody who's interested overweights the benefits of change and they underweight the costs or potential consequences of things going wrong. There's a line, when they cross the line and go from interested to intent when they decide, "Okay, I'm going to do this. I'm going to hire a firm like yours to help me achieve X." Just a few hours after they crossed that line, things shift. Now they start to underweight the benefits of change and they start to overweight in their minds all of the things that could go wrong. DAVID: Skeptical essentially. BLAIR: Yeah, skeptical, prove it to me. So your job as salesperson flips. It goes from trying to inspire somebody to trying to reassure them. If you want to create buyer's remorse or feed buyer's remorse then inspire. Try to inspire somebody- DAVID: Who's skeptical. BLAIR: Who doesn't want to be inspired. DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: Yeah, exactly. DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: When you're on the buying side, it feels like somebody is trying to manipulate you through emotions. DAVID: Oh, yeah. So these three stages, and I'll just say them again for folks where this language is new, help the unaware, inspire the interested and reassure the intent. These occur and this is chronological and you mentioned early on that there is a point for reassurance and then I introduced this whole idea about the way you used to talk about this of alternative forms of reassurance and then you jumped in and said, "We don't want to offer alternative forms of reassurance too early." So now you've explained why we need to wait. What are some signs that they've crossed away from interested into the intent stage so that we don't offer the wrong things at the wrong time? BLAIR: I remember working for a design firm and presenting our portfolio to a prospective client and he kept banging his hand on the desk going, "Oh, yes,. Oh, that's beautiful work. That's fantastic." He kept crossing his legs and re-crossing his legs and I thought, "Wow, this is a little bit like the fake orgasm scene in the movie When Harry Met Sally." He was getting very, well, the technical word is aroused. He was getting very excited by the work that we were showing him. The firm that I was with at the time had world class creative work and the portfolio was beautifully shot and mounted on these boards, old school, wise. Man, as a new business person, I'd walk into a meeting and I have that portfolio and I think, "Wait till they see our work." It was just a great thing to have. So this guy was reacted so viscerally to the work that we were showing. BLAIR: At some point, we progressed through the sale, that conversation, a couple of others. We uncover a specific opportunity. It's a late stage opportunity at some point and we come back to the table and I bring the president of the firm with me and we come back to present the proposal. Now, we've got all of the decision makers around the table and the president says, "Hey," and he had a habit of doing this and I think a lot of people will identify with this, he said, "Hey, before we present the proposal, there's a few new people in the room, they haven't seen our portfolio, so let me just take a few minutes and just walk through some of our portfolio." So he walked through the same portfolio, nothing. There was no emotional response whatsoever and the guy who could barely contain himself the last time he saw this work sat there stone faced and so did all of his colleagues. BLAIR: There was just absolutely nothing and I thought, "What is going on here?" I kind of put it away and it wasn't until I was taught to view things this way that I realized that we're trying to inspire somebody who is nervous. We're trying to say, "Look how great things could be." DAVID: Yeah. They felt like you were wasting their time almost, like you were manipulating them in a way, like trying to generate the same reaction they had. It's like, "I've already seen this. I've already had this reaction, get to my questions," right? That was what was happening, BLAIR: Yeah. Then your question is what are the signs that they've crossed the line? So that's one. DAVID: Right. BLAIR: Another one is the questions that they ask you late in the buying cycle when they're driven by a fear of making mistake, they're these very specific, almost unimportant questions and they're often dismissed by the firm. It's like the discovery session that you talked about, that would be the first step, "How long does that take and who needs to be involved on our end?" "It is half a day or a day and you would need to be involved and Bob over there and maybe a couple of others." That's the wrong answer to that very specific question. DAVID: What's the right answer? BLAIR: The right answer is, and this is just an example of the right answer, it's the precision with which you answer, "Discovery sessions take six hours. We do them in our office. We expect that certain key people will be present. That will be you, Bob over there and these other three people that you've identified in the sale and the outcomes look like this." So the answer to this seemingly innocuous question is an answer that shows we've done this before. We do it all the time. We have a bulletproof way of doing this. DAVID: Yeah. So that's where the reassurance comes from in this case. It's almost like what's going on in the buyer's mind at this point? Are they pretty close to buying and they're just sort of condensing themselves or are they talking to themselves? I mean, are these really important questions to them? BLAIR: I think these are vitally important questions. One of the alternative forms of reassurance is what I call process frame case studies, and we'll talk about that in a minute, but another alternative form of reassurance is offer to breakup the sale into phases. So instead of the client making like $100,000 commitment to you say, "Why don't we take it one step at a time? First step is a diagnostic and it's $15,000." Then with an out clause. So the out clause would be, "At the end of that first step, when we present our findings and recommendations, if you feel like you don't like the direction this is going, you don't like working with us, whatever it is, we can just call it quits right there." So there's a phased engagement that's reassuring to the client. Okay, I don't have the same financial commitment. The out clause, I can get out after the end of that first phase if this isn't going well. Then you could even layer in one of my favorites, which is a money back guarantee. BLAIR: So you could say at that point in the sale, when you're describing the out, you could say, "At that point, if you decide that we're not the right firm, we're not going in the right direction, or you don't like working with us for whatever reason and you don't want to proceed, then we're just going to give you your money back. Because if we failed that badly, then we owe it to you to give you your money back." So that's an example of string together three different alternative forms of reassurance when the client might be asking for a discount or they might just be sitting there nervously, not asking for anything specifically, but you can tell they're nervous and you're looking for ways to kind of assuage those nerves.   DAVID: I was never a fan of the money back guarantee thing. In fact, because we've shared many clients over the years and when you come up and you're not there and I'm just joking with them about how our outlooks are very similar and I used to always say, "He is wrong about a few things, six specifically," I would say. Then of course that always made them curious like, "Well, what are the six?" Rather than just saying, "Yeah, he's wrong about a few things," and I would bring this up about the money back guarantee because I always felt like it would insert this thought in somebody's mind that, "Well, why do you even offer a money back guarantee?" Oh, some people want their money back? It always bothered me. I don't know if you do that anymore. Did you ever have to give somebody's money back? BLAIR: One of the first pieces of business I closed on my consulting practice, somebody, late stage buyer, we're kind of at the end. He's nervous and he's asking for references and I didn't have any references because he was like my third or fourth client and I didn't have any references. So I was kind of stalling and saying, "Yeah, yeah, I'll get you references when it gets to the right point." DAVID: Give me me for years, I'll get back to you. BLAIR: He said, "Forget about references. Give me a guarantee and we're good. We'll do this." I paused and I had already decided that this is going to be a principle of mine in my consulting practice. I paused and said, "Well, everybody gets a money back guarantee. If you're not happy, I'll give you your money back," and he went, "Done." DAVID: You didn't have to give it back though. BLAIR: No, I didn't have to. I'll get to the point when I did once. DAVID: Oh, okay. BLAIR: That discussion proved to me that the guarantee and the references, they're effectively the same thing. If you don't have good references, I had a client recently email and say, "I can't figure out what went wrong. The client said all the right things. It sounded like we were going to be hired. Checked their references and then didn't hire us." I said, "Well you might want to have another look at your references. So instead of handing out those references, you might think about a guarantee." At first I made a point of stating it to everybody and then I would just use it when I felt it was appropriate. Then I had one client where the engagement went poorly. Effectively, I let the client take control. I let him reach over and grab the wheel. It was a positioning engagement that went poorly. BLAIR: Then many months went by and he called, about six months later, and he said, "Hey, yeah, I'm not all that happy with the engagement and the outcome." He said, "We didn't really get anything from it, but I estimate that we're 50% responsible. How do you feel about giving us half of our money back?" I said, with great relief, I said, "That's a small price to pay to get you off of my conscience." DAVID: Because you'd been thinking about it too. BLAIR: I'd been thinking about how poorly I had underperformed. I just regretted, from the moment when he talked me into doing it his way rather than the way that I always did it, I just regretted it and it was on my mind always. I knew I didn't deliver value and I thought it was really big of him to own up to the fact that he had some responsibility in it and if he would've said, "Please give me my money back." I would've given it all back. DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: We've talked about this before, I just don't care about money. In situations like that, it's not that I don't care about it. There are other things that are far more important to me. So I have given money back. There are probably one or two other times when I've given partial refunds that I can't remember. DAVID: One of the alternative forms of reassurance that you list and talk about is references and I've got my own story to tell on that one. I quit giving references many, many years ago and I explained it on my website. I think I've got four points about why I think they're really not all that useful and this is why I don't do it and so on. Partly folks were just wearing out references. BLAIR: Yeah. DAVID: Asking them for advice when they should have been asking me and my references didn't sign up to give free advice and there's all those reasons. But anyway, about two years ago, I think it was, I got the opportunity to do a really large project and this person, really good person, really great firm, asked for references and I explained that I don't do it and here's why. He just insisted. I decided to violate my own policy and give him references. I said, "How many do you want?" and he said, "Oh, give me eight." Okay, so I gave him eight references. He called every single one and the relationship did not go well and partly it was my fault. I would say 60% of it was my fault and so the majority of it, but it just reinforced to me again, it's like set a policy and then stick with it and follow your instincts a little better. I should have done that. I should have done what you recommend here, when somebody asked me for references, they're not asking for references, they're asking for something else, right? So let's get back on track. What is it they're asking me when they ask me for references? What are they really asking me? BLAIR: They're asking, is everything going to be okay? DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: With references it's a little bit tricky because they're a completely valid form of reassurance. DAVID: Sure. BLAIR: But timing is everything because I think a nervous late stage prospect, they'll never be closer to hiring you without actually hiring you than they are the moment they hang up the phone from talking to one of your best clients of really good reference. DAVID: Right. BLAIR: Right. So they hang up the phone and then immediately like tick, tick, tick, buyer's remorse seeps back in. So if you're giving out references, maybe you want to give out three references and you'll say, "Okay, how much time do you need to talk to these people? Do you need half a day or do you need the full day?" "Well, I'm going to need the full day." You see how I'm leading by asking an either or question, not how much time, "Oh, a couple of weeks." No. "Do you need half a day or do you need a full day?" "I need a full day." "Okay, I'm going to call you or let's put a call on that calendar for the day after tomorrow, so I'm going to give you 24 hours to check these reference, all day tomorrow to check these references and I'm going to call you the next morning." Even better, call it the end of the day and the last thing you want to do is give references on a Friday and then have the call on a Monday. DAVID: They'd think of all the reasons they might not want to hire you over the weekend. BLAIR: Yeah. So if you're using references, think about momentum is so important so the references mop up that buyer's remorse, but then if the client's allowed to sit there and think for long, then all of the nervousness is going to seep back in. So see if you can't position it so that there's a conversation with you in a short but acceptable timeframe that you've given your perspective client to check your references. DAVID: Yeah. Then of course have the right sort of references. Thinking back to you said earlier. BLAIR: Yeah. DAVID: "Oh, the problem is the references. They don't like you." Yeah, I just want to list because we don't have a lot more time. I want to list some of the alternative forms of reassurance and some of these don't need a whole lot of discussion. There are a couple that are really interesting to me for sure and I think they will be to our listeners. So one of them is references. Another is the guarantee, which you've touched on. The one that interests me the most I think is this idea of case studies and you touched on this because it indicates that you've done this before, which assures the prospect what? What's so beautiful about that? BLAIR: The takeaway is little variability in process equals little variability in outcome. DAVID: Right. BLAIR: Right. So think about a nervous late stage client and then you think of the typical creative firm trying to close a nervous late stage client and case studies are appropriate when they're in the right form for closing. When they're in a more traditional before and after format, they're more a tool of inspiration that you would use early. So we teach our clients how to build process frame case studies that really take, they take your typical before and after case study and they take the proprietary methodology that you claim to have. DAVID: You claim to have. Right, I see some skepticism there. BLAIR: Yeah. We have a whole term that people have to do on building a proprietary methodology, IP development before they're able to do the closing with case studies term. So process frame case studies, you take your IP, you take your typical before and after case study, you cut up your case study and put it back together in a way that tells a story that shows that you A) have a novel point of view and path to solving your client's problems, and B) you use it. DAVID: Right. BLAIR: Because if you think of most creative firm case studies, it's, "All right. Here's the case study. Here's the challenge," and what happens is in presenting the case study, the creative person or the principal of the firm or the salesperson always falls in love with the story. It always happens. The person presenting it falls in love with the story and gives this detail they completely lose track of what's important to the client. DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: If you're the salesperson in that situation, you're telling a story and the client's thinking, "Okay, I don't care about this story. I don't care about what you did for somebody else. I am interested in your methodology a little bit because what I'm really interested in is how you will solve this type of problem for me." DAVID: Yeah, yeah. BLAIR: Right, so you show one case study. Your journey has to be described by this replicable path and when you show the second case study, that's where the proof is in the pudding. You demonstrate that lo and behold you followed the same path. DAVID: Right. BLAIR: Some of the tools may be different. The outcomes are going to be different. The findings or recommendations are all going to be different and specific to the client but you followed the same path and that path is framed by this intellectual property that falls out of your perspective on how things should be done so all of these things tie together. You show one, two, three case studies, different clients, different situations, different levels of investment, different outcomes for each client, but the same methodology. Nothing reassures old nervous late stage client like a process frame case study because it says we've done this before. We do it all the time. We have a defined way of working. It's a bulletproof way of working. Now, people say that in the sale, but they never prove it and the work that they show almost demonstrates the opposite of what they should be proving in that moment. DAVID: I want to overlay a positioning question here. So you could have a poorly positioned from that would have good references. You could have a poorly positioned firm that offers a money back guarantee. Is there a connection between good positioning and good process frame case studies? BLAIR: Is there a connection between good positioning and a good process frame case studies? There's a starting point. DAVID: Do you need to be a well positioned firm in order to have a powerful process frame case study? BLAIR: Yeah. So if you're a poorly positioned firm, let's just take a full service ad agency and that's just a poorly broadly positioned firm, and then you've got a case study that says, "Here's how we'd go about ad campaigns." Ad campaigns is such a big phrase. It's such a vast territory that could include so many different things. It's just not narrow enough. Plus, there's so many firms in that space. So are you likely to show something novel? You might show something repeatable, that's half of the battle. At least that's something you can build on, right? We'd coach our clients, "Well, start there. Let's just start with a repeatable process and let's build the propriety over time." DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: Right. So that's another way to look at it. DAVID: We fall into the trap of talking about positioning as if it's all about the clients you serve, but it feels to me like part of positioning is how you serve those clients as well. So there might be a hundred firms that serve the same kind of client, but how you solve problems, which you've put a lot of thought into them, which doesn't vary much, your earlier point about little variability, that's part of the positioning story too. You're not moving away from positioning when you start talking about process. It reinforces your positioning. Not only do you serve the same kinds of clients or the same demographic, it's a horizontal positioning, but you also serve them in the same way, you've done this so much. It sounds like a beautiful part of the story to me. BLAIR: Yeah. Here's a great metaphor that I think fits perfectly. You're going in for surgery next week and you have a meeting today with the surgeon. You're not looking for inspiration. You're nervous. You're worried about things that could go wrong because you're late in the buying cycle, right? DAVID: What would inspiration even look like? BLAIR: Imagine how good life's going to be with your new hip. The inspiration would be I can just imagine being pain free and you're still thinking about having the surgery. Then you decide I'm going to do this, I'm going to get my hip replaced, and then you go into talk to the surgeon a few days before the surgery and you're a nervous late stage prospect. So it's just the kind of an informational meeting and he explains a few things to you, introduces himself and says, "Do you have any questions?" and you say, "Yeah, I have a question. My question is how is this going to work?" "What do you mean?" he says. "Well, can you just walk me through how the surgery goes?" He might misinterpret your question. He might think, "Well, you're questioning my ability to do this?" Right? Or he might say, "You know what? You don't need to know. I'm the expert. Don't worry. Everything is going to be okay." BLAIR: But you do need to know and you're not reassured by that. There's a little bit of reassurance in him saying, "I've done this a lot of times." But the reason why you want him to describe the surgery is not because you have the capacity to judge the effectiveness of his technique, but it's because you want him to prove to you that he knows what he's doing. You want him to prove to you that he does this all the time and he knows what he's doing. His response could be, "Well, surgery is an organic creative process. I'm going to cut you open and then just figure it out once I get inside." DAVID: That's not going to be a reassuring statement, right? BLAIR: No, but that's the answer that creative firms give all the time. DAVID: Because they think that repeatability is death for them. BLAIR: Yeah, so the client asks, "How is this going to work?" What they really want to know is, "Can you describe in detail, thereby proving to me that you've done it before, you do it all the time, you have a bulletproof way of doing it?" and they don't even see the intent behind the question and it's, "Well, creativity. It's good. It's creative." I am overstating it obviously and being a little bit disparaging. We just need to see what the reassurance that the client is looking for in asking the question. What you want the surgeon to say is you want him to pull down a model of the piece of a hip and say, "All right, here's how it's going to work. We go in through here. I resect this, I do this." DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: You want him to explain it to you in such detail and say, "And here's a video of the entire operation if you want to take it home and watch it." There's no question this person is the expert. DAVID: Yeah. BLAIR: So the answer can be anything, but it has to prove you've done this before. You do it all the time. You've got a bulletproof way of doing this. DAVID: In the middle of this long explanation that the surgeon's obviously given before, the patient may not even need more information and the surgeon shouldn't be so in love with explaining this, that they draw on and on, right? BLAIR: You got it. DAVID: They ought to look for sign that, "Okay, I've done." BLAIR: You, the patient might say, "Okay, no, I got it. That's enough. I don't even understand what you're saying." DAVID: Yeah, you're not going to leave a sponge inside me. Let's move on. BLAIR: Yeah. DAVID: This is very, very good. It reminds me of the days when we used to do this. We need to do it again some time, but this is fascinating, alternative forms of reassurance. I love what you're doing here and I hope you folks listening to this have picked up some good tips. Thank you, Blair. BLAIR: Thanks, David. That was fun.

Listen in as Phil welcomes back in “the professors,” Dr. Steve Feyrer-Melk and Matt Essex to talk through the many pitfalls of the traditional outreach and enrollment models in health management programs.For episode 8 of The Nudgecast I invited back in our trusted advisors Dr. Steve Feyrer-Melk and Matt Essex to help us navigate through the many pitfalls that we’ve identified within traditional approaches to member outreach and enrollment for population health management. Dr. Steve, Matt and I discussed…Several of the most common pitfalls or false assumptions that we’ve come across in working with partners through their member outreach and enrollment strategies. Listen to the first part of this episode to learn more about pitfalls like:The “Enroll Everybody” AssumptionThe mistaken idea that the goal is to enroll as many members as possible into your programs and the many inefficiencies that creates.The “Knowledge Is The Problem” AssumptionThe tendency we have to assume that a lack of health knowledge on the part of the consumer is the primary reason they aren’t engaging.The “Perfect Program” AssumptionThe idea that we created this ideal, one-size-fits-all “program” and if someone doesn’t want to engage in it then it’s their fault.The “Motivated Member” AssumptionClosely tied to the “Perfect Program” assumption, this refers to the idea that we too often assume motivation on the part of the member when we map out programs for them.The “Incentives Drive Engagement” PitfallThe false assumption that because incentives can get someone to enroll in a program that they would not enroll in otherwise that they will also increase chances of long term engagement in the program.Dr. Steve’s drivers of highly effective outreach that sets us up for longer term engagement (A.K.A. “Engagement Focused Outreach) key factors that increase our ability and power to enroll and engage members in our health improvement programs such as:The “Why”What is important to the individual?Readiness StageBased on Behavior Change Theory, i.e. the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change.Decisional BalanceHow individuals balance the pros and cons of changing their behavior.ConfidenceBased on Self-Efficacy Theory. How confident is an individual that they can be successful in making a change?KnowledgeSometimes lack of knowledge about what next simple positive steps look like to make a change. Sometimes a lack of general self-awareness about health status or factors.The danger of using the wrong language with our members, such as controlling, pressuring words like “should, have to, ought to, need to,” instead of collaborative, empowering terms such as “can, could, may, will, try, intend.”If you have questions for us, don't hesitate to email the show at learn@nudgecoach.com and check out our latest content at https://nudgecoach.com/thought-leaders See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This podcasts provides an overview of the Transtheoretical model of behavioural model of change along with strengths and weaknesses of the model.

This podcasts covers the 6 stages. An outline of the model + strengths and weaknesses will be covered by an alternative podcast.

On this episode of the podcast Christa attacks 2017 head-on. Listen and ready yourself to harness the full power of intention for your New Year’s Resolutions. The Transtheoretical Model of Change Before the Mind Zoning®, Christa discusses the The Transtheoretical Model of Change and the stages that it is comprised of. In order to deal with change of any size, this widely-accepted scientific model explains how we prepare, accept, and ultimately integrate change into our lives. As depicted in the above link, the five stages of change are: Precontemplation (Not Ready) Contemplation (Getting Ready) Preparation (Ready) Action Maintenance While it’s easy to look at a model like this one and see how change works, the actual application is much more difficult. Change of any kind can be daunting. Whether it’s your New Year's Resolution to lose weight, moving to a new city, or dealing with the loss of a loved one, the initial shift is always hard. Because we’re dealing letting go of our old patterns, that can be scary. Because the model is so multi-layered, this episode specifically addresses the first stage of the model: precontemplation. In this stage you’re just starting to think about healthy behavior, but  it’s still further down the road, not an immediate change. At this point in your journey Christa recommends creating a pros and cons list. The “cons” side may be extremely long because there’s that fear associated with the change, and the “pros” may be short because you don’t know or realize the full benefits. Looking at those two side by side you can see how it’s easier to take the “easy” route and not make the change, but as you take in more information (like this podcast

Download Episode! In today's episode, I continue the journey into change that began in Episode 5.  Once again, we dive into the Transtheoretical Model of Change, this time talking about the second stage of change, Contemplation.  Previously, I talked about how this is a process,  often occurring over a series of stages.  Each stage brings us closer to being the change we hope to see.  In the last episode, we discussed pre-contemplation, the first stage in change.  Today, we talk about Contemplation. Through this 25 minute journey, I define what the Contemplation stage is.  Together, we look at what separates this stage from pre-contemplation.  I discuss ways to identify that one is moving from pre-contemplation into contemplation.  Finally, I look at some of the various strategies to move the journey forward from contemplation toward planning and eventual action to make that change.  Along the way, I share first hand experience and anecdotes from my journey and where I have been. Remember, change is not exclusively weight or diet related.  It can be any habit that we feel holds us from achieving our dreams and being the best version of ourselves.  I encourage all of you to join me on the journey.  I invite all of you to welcome change into your life.  Together, we can explore how we can propel ourselves into the future that we want for ourselves.   Finally, we can break down barriers that have held us in place and kept us comfortable, yet stagnant.  As a result, we can see our lives blossom in ways we never thought imaginable. Once again, I thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.  I welcome your feedback and topic suggestions.  It is my sincerest hope that you find meaning in what I share with you, and that it too helps you grow.  Thanks again for listening, Episode 8 will be coming on December 15th!!

SMART Recovery is honored to bring you Dr. Carlo DiClemente, PhD, ABPP, co-creator of the the Stages of Change, speaking about how people maintain change and ways in which to support that in the field of addiction and recovery. Carlo C. DiClemente's Stages of Change, or the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change (TTM), are foundational to SMART's approach to supporting people where they are as they embark in the process of change with regard to addictive behavior. Dr. DiClemente is most widely known for his co-authorship of the self-help book, Changing for Good. Dr. DiClemente's career-long passion and dedication to create and research a functional, multidimensional and integrated care model for treating addictions has influenced the practice of providers from multiple disciplines. His thoughtful articles are highly cited in the field of addictive behavior. His pioneering views on motivation, mechanisms of change and natural recovery have transformed clinical practice and influenced research in psychology, health and mental health. He has used stages and processes of change to understand how risk and protective factors influence initiation and recovery from addictions and created an innovative framework for linking prevention and treatment. In this talk, he emphasizes that the locus of change lies within the individual's personal processes, even while counselors, therapists, and facilitators may offer a variety of helpful methods and choices for healthy change.   Dr. Carlo DiClemente is currently University of Maryland, Baltimore County presidential research professor of psychology, Director of MDQuit, Tobacco Resource Center, the Center for Community Collaboration. For his work in the addictions, Dr. DiClemente was given the Innovators Combating Substance Abuse award by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the John P. McGovern Award from the American Society on Addiction Medicine (ASAM), and a Distinguished Contribution to Scientific Psychology award by the Maryland Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association Division on Addictions. He has served as president of the APA Division on Addictions (50) and is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. In 2007 he was named the first Lipitz Professor of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at UMBC, in 2011 he was named as Presidential Research Professor at UMBC. He serves on SMART Recovery's International Advisory Board. SMART Recovery was privileged to host this private presentation with Dr. Carlo DiClemente for professionals in mental health and addiction treatment: Graciously, Dr. DiClemente allowed us to record and present that talk, free, as a service to the general public.  SMART Recovery depends on your donations!
