Lesson 1: Key Words
Below is a list of Lesson 1’s (Part 1 & 2) key words. Take a couple minutes to read over each objective
and write some notes next to the word. It is crucial that you are familiar with these points and are able to
elaborate, including examples, as you present the material to the students. We want to keep things
simple and focus on the key learning objectives. Repetition is key and these points of emphasis will be
continuously reiterated throughout this lesson and the rest of the course.
• Habits- The desire is to eliminate negative habits and develop positive ones.
3 components of a habit.
1) Trigger 2) Routine 3) Reward
Building Block Habits
More of X (good habit) = Less of Y (bad habit)
This formula compounds over time.
4. Refer to your custom training implementation plan and familiarize yourself with your session one
