In many instances, individuals believe they must learn a new process, tip, or technique to impress others, secure a promotion, or achieve excellence. However, it is often more effective to change one's underlying beliefs. These beliefs are persistent thoughts that subconsciously influence and govern our actions.

This concise course demonstrates how to modify behaviors by addressing the belief component of the cycle rather than focusing solely on behavior—leading to natural and sustainable changes in action.

There is a common misconception that we must first act in a certain way (do) to achieve great results (get), which then allows us to become the person we aspire to be (be). In reality, it is essential to first adopt the standards and worldview of the desired persona. Once these beliefs are internalized, our behaviors will naturally align, resulting in improved outcomes.

This approach is particularly relevant for government professionals seeking to enhance their performance and contribute more effectively to public sector workflows, governance, and accountability.
