Creating Atomic Habits

Most of us want better results in life. But the real issue is not that the results need to be changed, rather the habits and systems that precede them. The habits precede the outcome.


As human beings, we are very results-focused, and the media is the same. You won’t typically read a news story about the process. i.e. “girl studies science in her bedroom for 3 hours today”, but you would read about UAE women scientists leading the Arab world's first space mission to Mars, for example.?


To put it another way, the results of success are often highly visible and discussed, while the process of success is hidden from view. For that reason, we tend to overvalue results and undervalue the process that precedes it. One of my favorite quotes from James Clear (author of the brilliant Atomic Habits) is, “People who focus only on results win only one time. People who focus on systems win again and again.” We’re all busy people – juggling career, family, friends, life - and it’s hard to find time to incorporate new habits into our daily routine. If you want to become a more confident speaker, whether that be onstage in front of a live audience, or to ask your boss for that raise, or to pitch your product to potential investors, few of us have time to attend evening or weekend classes that require commuting and hours in a classroom.


So how about this? An on-demand public speaking course, which means you can watch the 8 module series whenever you can make the time in your daily routine.?You?get to dictate the schedule.


The best way to learn is by taking action. And every action that you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. Sign up for The Speakeasy Club’s Public Speaking Masterclass, and become a more confident public speaker today!
