There is a second reason why I advocate a half year minimum for any transformational process, especially when it is triggered by a crisis, and this reason is: exercise.

There are quite some research results that say that you need to practice a new skill for, say, 5,000 hours, 10,000 hours or 80,000 hours, depending on which study you read. But what they all have in common, and what’s quite obvious is that to master a skill, any skill, there needs to be some kind of exercise.

And this exercise can be self-guided, of course. But if you are in a situation where you have the feeling that you’re losing control, that everything is collapsing onto you, then it might be helpful to have someone at your side to watch your steps when you start exercising and who stays with you while you get better, and who lets you go when you've mastered all the skills that you need to master the transformation.

I’ve got one free coaching slot coming up on February 6th. Minimum commitment is half a year, starting at 5K per month. Get more information at https://crisis.wtf or contact me on LinkedIn.
