How Our Courses Change Lives
More Energy
Before KFAC, I didn’t have the energy to take on so much. Now, I accept discomfort, keep moving forward, and actually improve things in my life.
Changed My Life
KFAC is the missing piece in mindfulness and self-compassion. It’s so comprehensive—it’s changed my life, my relationships, and my work.
Actually Change Behaviors in My Family
If you value relationship building and tools to help our planet thrive, this is for you! KFAC gave me new ways to communicate stress and actually change behaviors in my family. The group felt safe, real, and supportive.
One Course You Do Not Want to Miss
This is one course you do not want to miss. It’s packed with tools to help you thrive, connect with like-minded people, and even make new friends. Donal’s delivery is empathic and authentic—sharing felt truly safe.
Made All The Difference
I appreciate your willingness to approach awkward topics—those taboos are the ones that imprison us. A year ago, I couldn’t even talk openly about important issues, but now I can. That’s made all the difference.
Peace of Mind: Understand the Brain & Nervous System
KFAC helped me understand how the brain and nervous system shape our reactions. Knowing this gave me peace of mind and hope for healing from past trauma. The resources and videos let me integrate the learning at my own pace.
21 Days from Conflict to Connection
Discover the power to transform conflict into connection—in just 21 days. The Three Habits Mini-course is a practical, science-backed introduction to handling tough conversations with confidence, clarity, and kindness. Designed for busy professionals and anyone seeking real change, this self-paced program teaches you three essential habits:
The Skillful Pause: Learn to create space between trigger and response, so you can stay calm and think clearly even in emotionally charged moments.
The Conversation Blueprint: Master a proven framework for preparing and launching meaningful, authentic conversations—even about difficult topics.
Listening First for Agreement: Shift the dynamic by understanding others before being understood, building bridges instead of barriers.
Each day, you’ll spend just 15 minutes with engaging video lessons, actionable worksheets, and guided practice—making it easy to integrate these new habits into your real life. The course is structured for immediate results: you’ll start seeing changes in how you handle conflict, communicate at work or home, and connect with others from day one.
Why This Mini-course Is Different
Most online courses offer generic advice or surface-level tips, but the Three Habits Mini-course stands out for three key reasons:
- Practical, Science-Backed Skills:
Every lesson is rooted in neuroscience and real-world research—not just theory. You’ll learn how your brain and nervous system respond to conflict, and practice proven techniques like the Skillful Pause, the WE SPEAK conversation framework, and listening for agreement. These are tools you can use immediately, even in your toughest conversations. - Step-by-Step, Supportive Structure:
The course is carefully designed for real transformation, starting with low-stakes practice and building toward automatic, confident responses—even under stress. You’ll get daily guidance, quick reference guides, and a practice journal to help you integrate each habit into your life. - Safe, Authentic Community:
Participants consistently describe the learning environment as welcoming, supportive, and authentic. Whether you’re shy or outgoing, you’ll find space to be yourself and connect with like-minded people—many make new friends and form lasting support networks. - Immediate, Lasting Results:
Unlike courses that leave you wondering “now what?”, this program ensures you see real change. Past students report better communication, less stress, and stronger relationships—even before finishing the course. - Risk-Free Enrollment:
If you’ve been disappointed by other online programs, you’re protected by a money-back guarantee. If you don’t see results, you get your investment back—no questions asked.
The Three Habits Mini-course isn’t just another online class—it’s a practical, research-driven path to transforming your conversations, your relationships, and your life
The science is with us
The Three Habits Mini-Course is based on years of experience in science, including principles of design and healing. It is based on everything I learned co-inventing an 8-week training program with proven results in several randomized controlled trials conducted in cooperation with Dr. Richard Davidson, named by Time Magazine as a 100 Most Influential Person. The primary article on the wellbeing program I co-invented has been cited 122 times by other scientific publications!
