In the context of professional development for government employees, it is often assumed that learning a new process, tip, or trick is necessary to impress colleagues, secure a promotion, or achieve excellence. However, the key to such advancements frequently lies in altering one's beliefs. Beliefs are persistent thoughts that subconsciously influence and dictate our actions. This course for government staff demonstrates how to effectively change behaviors by focusing on the belief component of the cycle rather than directly modifying the behavior itself—leading to natural and sustainable improvements. Commonly, there is a misconception that we must act in a certain way (do) to achieve great results (get), which then enables us to become the person we aspire to be (be). In reality, the process should start with becoming that person first. By adopting the standards and worldview of the individual we wish to emulate, our behaviors will naturally align, leading to improved outcomes.
