Timeline
🔺 DAY 1

🔺 WEEKS 1-6
Each week includes 3 meetings - big group, small group and Individual sessions with Crista.
We pack this with learning and practicing strategies to
✅ manage fear and obstacles
✅ spend time and conversation to rearrange thought habits that lead to stress, anxiety or more fear
✅ get more specific on the goal itself as well as the solutions to obstacles along the way
✅ ask for help to buttress physical, emotional, mental efforts as fatigue and/or frustration swell
🔺 1-MONTH FOLLOW UP
Participants will have a 1-month follow up call with Crista to report progress and results of independent following the intensive. This is to ensure retention and transfer of strategies.
Goal setting is the new resilience training.
Every person will be working toward two different goals that they can pursue with measurable progress throughout the weeks of the intensive. One goal is physically based so that we can reinforce basic goal-setting strategies that are often lost when bigger, broader goals are chased.
Physical Goal
The physical goal gives you a way to understand cumulative power of repetition and allows you to feel benefits of work. This goal will offer immediate and measurable validation of hard work paying off to keep spirits up.
Brave Goal
This goal is something timely that you want to get after right now. It should require bravery, time, resources, hard work and strategy to pursue. This goal will provide the pressure to establish new thought and behavior patterns.
Apply for a spot.
Spots are limited to 10 total people. After you complete this application, you will be contacted for an interview. If selected, you will have two days to accept your spot.
The Brave Intensive begins on July 20.
What does it mean to train your underdog?
Training your underdog is a term Crista has been using for more than 20 years of working with people to help them achieve big goals. There are four elements of the underdog:
1. They chase.
The underdog is going after something hard and scary, and they really want it.
2. They work hard.
Underdogs are not supposed to win so they know that hard work is the least they have to do. 10,000 hours.
3. They expect obstacles.
Strategy is a huge piece of goal-setting and it's a critical element of being in pursuit. Know what you will do when you encounter hard things along the way is the underdogs secret weapon.
4. They demand risk.
Underdogs know that practicing, preparing and performing under pressure is the key to growing skill and confidence in action.
