We're terrified of success."

• We're afraid of the moment we realize we failed
• Success is never a conclusion
• We're good at bouncing back but not pushing the bar?

• Priming the person to be ready for change
• People always resist at first
• Get people to buy into why they need to change
• Find out what's important to them and listen genuinely
• Create dissonance
• • Popcorn kerneling (stuck in the back of your teeth so you remember me)
  • Challenge them indirectly
  • Prime the prospect to pay attention to their pain
• People take a while to open up
• There is always something back there
• We're afraid of opening-up
• We know if we open up we'll have to work on fixing it

• We think we're coming for help for an "issue" vs. our character
• You need to see the big picture
• You're running your own race
• It's tough to admit "I'm a work in progress"

• But you're getting better every day, so stop being so hard on yourself
• Life's not fair
