Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis. Join us in a conversation where we clarify what I meant when I said to “stop thinking”. Key Takeaways: You shouldn’t take immediate action. Foundational work needs to be done before you completely jump in. Recognize where you are in the process and take smart actions that will lead you in the right direction. Small steps lead to big changes. “That doesn’t mean jumping off the cliff, that means learning how to build the parachute”.

Are you, you? Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis. Join us in a conversation where we discuss how you become you. Key Takeaways: Your identity is a combination of people, experiences, and conversations you have had throughout your life. You can’t pinpoint where you picked your traits up from. Your mindset, habits, and actions come from the interactions you have experienced. Ask yourself what parts of your identity are things you actually want. Recognize that you aren’t necessarily all you. Find the things you find undesirable about your identity, and start changing them. Sponsored By: Listen to the Aubrey Marcus Podcast: https://kite.link/amptlbcm Hosted By: Gregg Clunis

Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis. Join us in a conversation where we discuss why you should own the pressure you face and how it can actually improve your life. Key Takeaways: The pressure that we feel can be overwhelming. The pressure you feel is actually an indication you are moving in the right direction. Own the pressure by changing the way you think about it. Have the expectation that it will be hard, painful, and you are probably going to fail. The pressure will make you stronger.

Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis. Join us in a conversation where we discuss why you can’t actually control change, but you can influence the outcome of that change. Key Takeaways: Change creates an illusion of finality. You think that if you could just do this, then everything would be great. There is no end game. There is always going to be something to strive for. You can influence the change but not create the change. Progress is key. Everyday you make better choices that shift the way your life works.

Get this episode ad-free when you join TLBC+ today: https://tlbc.co/join In this episode, we talk about why you should stop thinking! Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis. Join us in a conversation where we discuss why you should stop thinking and just take action. Key Takeaways: When we start thinking about something, oftentimes we convince ourselves not to do it. By the time you actually think through the thing you are so excited about starting, you convince yourself that you shouldn’t do it. When you overthink things, you are holding yourself back. Don’t think and just start the thing. It's not about being prepared, it's about being confident in yourself that you can do it. You are capable and you can do it.

Join us in a raw and vulnerable conversation with Gregg about his personal experience with connections along with helpful tips you can use to form new connections. Key Takeaways: There is a fundamental need for human connection. Technology and the global pandemic has made it difficult to form new connections. By keeping in touch with friends and colleagues online you miss the day to day moments. Online connections can be a perpetual cycle of catching up. There is some mutual context for forming connections. Mutual contexts make it easier to connect with others. These can be school, work, or extracurricular activities.

My name is Gregg Clunis. Join us in a discussion about why you should stop asking for permission and how you can start improving your life. Key Takeaways: When deciding to do something you either go and start doing the thing immediately or you consult people. Feedback is good, but the timing of the feedback is important. We ask people for feedback to validate our thoughts. Most times we begin to overanalyze and stop moving forward with whatever it was we were working on. To avoid asking for permission, jump right in and start immediately. Just start taking action that moves you towards the thing. The more things you start the more successes you will have. Sponso

Join us in a discussion about the value in saying yes and how you can start making choices to better your future self. Key Takeaways: Your life is a complex web of yes and no answers that got you to where you are today. There are external circumstances we can’t control.

Take action that pushes you in the direction you want to go. Make the choice to choose where you want to end up.

They are already looking forward to what they want to achieve next. Humans have flaws, and no version of you will ever be flawless. Accept who you are now and everything will feel like an accomplishment. Wh

A Meta-Analysis of the Experimental Evidence”.

However, the impact of progress monitoring interventions on rates of behavioral performance and goal a
