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.

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!

We know you might have questions or concerns before joining the Three Habits Mini-course. Here are some of the most common objections—and how we address them:

“I don’t have time for another course.”
The Three Habits Mini-course is designed for busy people. Each lesson takes just 15 minutes a day, and the 21-day structure helps you build habits efficiently, without overwhelming your schedule. You’ll see results quickly, often before the course is even finished.

“I’ve taken online courses before and been disappointed.”
This course is different. Every lesson is practical, science-based, and focused on real-life application—not just theory. You’ll learn skills you can use immediately to improve your conversations and relationships. Plus, there’s a money-back guarantee if you don’t see results.

“Will this really work for me?”
The Three Habits Mini-course is grounded in proven neuroscience and communication frameworks. Past participants from all walks of life report real, positive changes—even if they were skeptical at first. No prior experience is needed, and the tools are accessible to everyone.

“I’m worried about being uncomfortable or facing tough emotions.”
Change can be challenging, but the course guides you step-by-step, starting with low-stakes practice and building confidence as you go. You’ll learn to pause, regulate your emotions, and approach difficult conversations with kindness and clarity.

“I’m shy or nervous about group learning.”
The course is self-paced and private. You can learn and practice at your own speed, in your own space. There’s no requirement to participate in group discussions unless you choose to.

“What if I fall behind?”
You get lifetime access to all course materials, so you can revisit lessons and catch up whenever you need. The flexible structure fits around your life, not the other way around.
