To change behavior

To change behavior begins by identifying the beliefs that are reflected through our attitudes and demonstrated by our behaviors.

For example, recently I began working with a new coaching client who was looking to build her real estate business. She acknowledged that she needed to attend more networking events to increase her contacts. As we explored what type of events to attend, she admitted that she really didn’t like to attend networking events because she was more of an introvert than many people realized.

As the dialogue continued, I suggested that her reluctance to attend networking events many have a lot more to do with her own negative conditioning ?

I don’t really like to go to these events

? than she realized. She in essence was confirming a belief that because she was an introvert; she was uncomfortable at these events even though she knew that she needed to attend.

Quickly she realized that her beliefs of being an introvert were holding her back and that she could now begin to change her beliefs that would change her attitudes and therefore her behaviors.
