Welcome to the September Reset series. I don’t know about you, but September feels more like a New Year to me than a New Year, and I LOVE doing a reset in September, thinking about what’s working, what’s not working and what changes I need to make. So today I have an incredible episode for you on how to actually change, how to make new habits stick. Dr Heather Mckee is a behaviour change specialist - and she is employed by some of the world's biggest businesses like Starbucks, Deloitte and Unilever to help their staff make healthy changes that lead to big results. It was when Heather was running a healthy lifestyle clinic for hospital staff that she became obsessed with what makes well-intentioned people not stick to the right choices for them - this challenge had led Heather down a 10-year path of becoming one of the leading behaviour change specialists. So if you want to exercise more, eat healthier, stop scrolling as much, change your mindset or even start a business - then this is the episode for you You are going to learn the very specific things not to do when you’re trying to instil a new habit and what makes someone successful at a change they want to make Heather is also a new mum, so I love that she brings a very practical and realistic angle too.
