    The Petite Practice® Framework

    Four steps. One multiplier.

    The mechanism behind every Petite Practice® that actually compounds. The four steps make the change possible. Repetition is what makes it stick.

    S

    Simplify

    Strip the goal down until it cannot intimidate you.

    T

    Tell

    Name it out loud. Identity follows declaration.

    E

    Examine

    What is the actual barrier? Usually not what you think.

    P

    Praise

    Reward the action, not the outcome. The brain remembers.

    ×
    R

    Repeat

    The threadline. Repetition is what makes the rest compound into real change.

    Change = ( S + T + E + P ) × R

    About the Author

    Why I wrote this book.

    For 20 years I have stood in front of leaders and professionals who knew exactly what they wanted to change and could not, for the life of them, make it stick. The research kept saying the same thing: it is not a willpower problem. It is a mechanism problem.

    So I built the system I wish someone had handed me twenty years ago. petite practice® is that system, in book form, for the leader who is ready to stop starting over.
