ATOMIC HABITS:

HOW TO GET 1% BETTER EVERY DAY

James Clear explains this breakthrough approach to creating transformational change. He breaks down the science to show how change works at the most granular level and how the accumulation of just one percent improvements each day leads to massive change over time. Using inspiring examples of individuals and teams that have achieved extraordinary goals like winning the Tour de France or reinventing manufacturing processes, James shows how any goal can be achieved by adopting the right habits and systems, the right way. A transformative talk that leaves you seeing any challenge through the lens of positive and negative habits and equipped with proven strategies to achieve any goal.

Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits. Are you in the physical shape that you want to be in? Are you optimizing your talents at work? Is your team achieving its targets? All are a result of habits. What we repeatedly do, each and every day, ultimately forms the results we enjoy and the goals we achieve. Change your habits, change your systems, and you’ll transform your life, team and organization.

GOALS ARE OVERRATED. EXECUTION IS EVERYTHING.

What do all great companies, teams, and leaders have in common? They execute on the things that matter when it matters most. They don’t merely set goals, they build systems. In this powerful talk, James Clear will break down, step-by-step, how to build the systems you need to get the results you want. Setting big goals and coming up with a grand vision is not enough to make progress. We need better systems and more execution, if we wish to actually deliver on our dreams and ambitions.

Everybody wants a gold medal, but few people want to train like an Olympian. In a world where information and ideas are easy to access, execution is the difference between success and mediocrity. Winners win because they have better systems, not because they have bigger goals. Thinking big is not enough. Improvement requires execution.

We stand at the brink of a technological evolution. The future will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. In this world, we have constant access to information, but what will we do with it? We live in a world that is idea rich, but execution poor. We have more access to information and ideas than ever before. What holds us back is not our ideas, our dreams, or our goals. The bottleneck of progress is our daily habits and the system we have for making them happen. Having a goal is easy. Executing on a goal is hard. Starters are many. Finishers are few.

James delivered a compelling presentation about habit change and personal productivity that will influence how our students stretch themselves to pursue new opportunities. His work is clear and actionable in a way that breaks down some of the most challenging barriers that we all have to overcome. I would highly recommend James to any organization seeking to accomplish great things.
