Description
This course delves into the concept of progress bias and its impact on motivation and personal development. Progress bias reflects the human tendency to prioritize the process of solving challenges over the final outcomes, highlighting the significance of continual goal-oriented engagement. Participants will explore how focusing on the journey, rather than the destination, can enhance personal resources and lead to more fulfilling achievements.
Through both lecture and practical exercises, this course will demonstrate how to break down larger goals into smaller, actionable steps, leveraging cascading accomplishments to build momentum. Participants will learn how to help clients create self-reinforcing micro-habits that lead to long-term rewards, increased motivation, and sustained personal growth.
Key Concepts Covered:
- Negativity Bias
- Prospect Theory
- Certainty Bias
- Risk Aversion
- Ambiguity Aversion
- Scarcity Effect
- Limited Availability
- Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)
- Limited Choice Principle

While other executive coaches may use pre-set frameworks and prompts that are applied across clients, I take a personalized and tailored approach. Rather than simply providing operational processes or tactical guidance, I focus on helping clients understand and address their core personal drivers that directly impact their effectiveness and success. This deep level of understanding and support enables clients to overcome the unique challenges and obstacles they face, and unlock their full potential as leaders.
One of the things that sets me apart as an executive coach is my ability to hold clients accountable and challenge them in a constructive way. I don't shy away from difficult conversations or give in to pressure or manipulation. Instead, I help clients develop the self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills they need to build strong, effective relationships and achieve their goals.
As an executive coach, my passion is in driving deep and sustainable change with senior leaders at the individual, team, and organizational levels. I use evidence-based neuroscience to guide my approach, applying this knowledge to key areas such as interpersonal conflict, communication, and culture change.
I have extensive experience working with senior executives and startup founders in the US, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. My clients come from a diverse range of industries, including banking, tech, gaming, biotech, aerospace, and automotive.
I have successfully coached hundreds of individuals and teams from Fortune Global 500 firms and VC-backed startups, helping them to adopt a growth-mindset and create a feedback-rich learning culture.
