The HabitShift Workshop

HabitShift is a powerful combination of experiences, practices, insights, and tools rooted in the study of human development. Research proves that people who successfully change habits follow a specific set of stages or steps, each of which is best navigated with a combination of specific strategies. The key to durable change is knowing which of the five stages of change you're in and how to apply the tools and techniques most effective for that stage. We'll show you how!

At the heart of the HabitShift program is a model proven effective in hundreds of studies and decades of research by Dr. James Prochaska, Dr. John Norcross, and Dr. Carlo DiClemente. For 20 years, they carefully studied the activities of thousands of successful "self-changers." These people weren't purposefully following a set strategy, but the researchers found some common patterns - certain activities in a particular order. Their groundbreaking work uncovered the model people must go through to make successful, durable change.

There's little doubt about its effectiveness. You will learn the same methods used by such organizations such as:

• The Centers for Disease Control
• The National Cancer Institute
• The National Institutes for Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse
• The American Lung Association
• Britain's National Health Service
• St. Paul’s Healthy Heart Program, Vancouver, BC
• British Columbia Children’s Hospital, Vancouver, BC
• SportMedBC Sun Run InTraining Program, Vancouver, BC

The HabitShift workshop applies to thinking patterns, emotional habits, and behavioral patterns. In combination with neuroscience, coaching, and transference technologies, the experience produces an impact that lasts long after the workshop is over. This unique combination of elements is what ensures your success.

HabitShift is offered in three formats: a two-hour, free introduction, a one-day workshop, and a four-day intensive with personal coaching. The free introduction gives you an overview of how people successfully change a specific habit. The one-day takes the next step by expanding the knowledge, choices, and opportunities participants have to make better habit choices. The four-day intensive seminar provides an in-depth, transformative experience -- plus a personal Coach to ensure your success.
