The Transformational Story Method™

Weeks 1–15 · from Transformational Life Coach

  1. Week 1Your six defining moments, written out

    You Are the Story

    In this video you are going to learn how to identify the six defining moments in your life — three that were positive and three that were negative — so we can identify what I call your Identity Statement, your I Am Statement, and your How-To Statement.

    Action step: Say one of your six defining moments out loud to one person this week, and tell them the meaning you attached to it.

  2. Week 2

    Reading Your Own Story

    Separate the facts from the feelings from the meaning, because the event was never the meaning — and the meaning is what has been running your life.

    Action step: Catch yourself one time this week in the middle of an old reaction, name the meaning driving it out loud, and choose differently in that moment.

  3. Week 3Identity, I AM and How-To Statements

    The Story Underneath the Story

    Pull the common thread running through all six moments, and build your Identity Statement, your I AM Statement and your How-To Statement.

    Action step: Make one decision this week the inherited family sentence would never let you make — and make it before Sunday.

  4. Week 4Your Big Audacious Goal on paper

  5. Week 5

    Action step: Complete the first hour-long piece of your goal this week and put the date you finished it beside it on paper.

  6. Week 6

    Overcoming the Fear Factor

    Name the fear guarding your old life, see what it is actually protecting, and start building your courage ladder.

    Action step: Climb rung one this week — make the call, send the message, or say the sentence out loud to one person — and write the date beside it.

  7. Week 7

    Moving Through Fear

    Climb the courage ladder rung by rung — acting before the fear clears, until courage becomes a repeatable skill.

    Action step: Climb three rungs this week, not one, and write the date and time beside each the moment it is done.

  8. Week 8

    Anchoring the Subconscious Mind

    Install the anchors that hold your new identity steady when life pushes back.

    Action step: Fire your anchor before the three hardest moments of your week — before the conversation, before the work, before you walk in the room.

  9. Week 9

    Priming the Subconscious Mind

    Morning and night priming: feed your mind the future before the day feeds it the past.

    Action step: Seven mornings and seven nights, no missed days — and if you miss one you do not restart, you simply do the next one.

  10. Week 10

    New Mental Maps and Models

    Your Strategic Plan of Action

    Turn the script into a strategic plan with dates, steps and accountability attached.

    Action step: Do the first rung of your courage ladder before Sunday, however small, and write the date beside it.

  13. Week 13

    Becoming the Leading Expert

    Decide what you are becoming known for, and start stacking the evidence for it.

    Action step: Publish one piece of your expertise where somebody outside your house can see it, before Sunday.

  14. Week 14

    Creating Your Own Lane

    Stop competing with people who were never called to do what you are called to do.

    Action step: Mute the three accounts that make you feel behind, and put that time into one piece of work that is unmistakably yours.

  15. Week 15Foundation milestone assessment

    Ecosystem, Community, and Legacy

    Build the circle around your mission — by now your story, your meaning, your patterns and your plan are out in the open where you can finally act on them.
