Episode notes
Look, Feel, Perform Framework
- Define success with the "look, feel, perform" framework to target aesthetics, subjective wellbeing, and functional ability.
- Use those pillars to identify the "defender" blocking progress before prescribing solutions.
Find And Remove The 'Goalie' First
- Ask why a goal hasn't been reached to reveal the real barrier rather than prescribing generic steps.
- Remove the "goalie" (root defender) first so scoring the goal becomes easy and sustainable.
No Single Root Cause Fits Everyone
- Universal one-size answers rarely work because of genetic, lifestyle and environmental diversity.
- Individual-level causes can be decisive, but they don't generalize as global solutions.
