    Design Your Life. Daily, weekly, monthly

    Inspired by the book indistractable, I built a system of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly commitmentsā€”and it's been a game-changer. Itā€™s not about perfection (trust me, Iā€™m not perfect šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø), but about having a clear vision for the life I want to live. šŸŒŸ Every year, I revisit and update these commitments in my trusty Clear Harvest Journal (7 years strong!). By zooming out to take a 10,000-foot view, Iā€™ve learned to balance work, family, hobbies, and friendships in a way that aligns with my values. šŸ’” This isnā€™t just about planning; itā€™s about designing your life. šŸ› ļø Start small. Reflect intentionally. And keep expanding your identity. Whoā€™s ready to take a closer look at their commitments? šŸ’Ŗ Letā€™s do this together! #IntentionalLiving #LifeDesign #BigPicturePlanning

    Why Modern Coaching is Failing to ā€œDo No Harmā€ ā€” And What to Do About It

    This video explores the critical principle of "Do No Harm" in coaching, drawing parallels to Florence Nightingale's transformative contributions to modern healthcare. Despite good intentions, many coaching practices today harm athletes' mental health, character development, and well-being due to systemic flaws and outdated methods. The video highlights the need for evidence-based coaching practices and standardized systems to address toxic cultures, overtraining, and pressures from social media and competition.


    Key insights include:

    • The parallels between coaching and nursing: the necessity of education, standards, and accountability.
    • The importance of addressing systemic issues in sports, advocating for change, and training coaches with proven, research-backed practices.
    • Practical steps for sports organizations: providing coach education, setting behavioral standards, and implementing development plans.


    JP offers solutions through online coaching courses, tailored support for organizations, and strategies to create healthier environments for athletes. Learn how adopting a "Nightingale approach" can revolutionize coaching and sports culture for the better.

    Whatā€™s Really Keeping You from Making the Change You Need to Make

    Why is meaningful change so difficult, even when the stakes are life or death? In this video, we explore the psychological and emotional barriers to lasting transformation. Inspired by a powerful study led by Dr. Edward Miller of Johns Hopkins University, we uncover why many people struggle to change their habitsā€”even when their lives depend on it.

    This isnā€™t just about motivation or willpower. Real, lasting change requires more than strategies or external goalsā€”it demands a shift in mindset. Discover how your mental models drive your behaviors and, ultimately, your results.

    šŸ”‘ Key Takeaways:

    • The gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
    • Why inspiration alone isnā€™t enough to create change.
    • The power of mindset and emotional engagement in driving transformation.
    • How systems and habits shape your success, as explained by James Clearā€™s insight: ā€œWe do not rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our systems.ā€

    Join us as we explore how to align your habits with your dreams by addressing the deeper beliefs and systems that hold you back.

    šŸ‘‰ Are your habits today aligned with the dreams you have for tomorrow? Letā€™s begin the journey toward real change.

    Coaching For Real Change

    Ever catch yourself setting rules and expecting instant compliance? šŸ§ Todayā€™s Culture Builders dives into a game-changer: what if, instead of judging, we approached behaviors with curiosity? Instead of 'Why did you do that?' try 'What do you think about your actions?' šŸ’¬ This simple shift encourages reflection, not defensiveness, and boosts self-awareness. Plus, it helps us as leaders learn, too! So, letā€™s get curiousā€”questions in hand, judgment at the door. #CultureBuilders #CuriosityOverJudgment #RealChange
