OW64 SYSTEM: STEP 3 – Connect the Goal to Who You Want to Become

Описание: In Step 3 of the OW64 System, we move beyond simply setting goals and begin connecting those goals to identity, purpose, and habit formation.

In this conversation, George Trachilis and Dr. Vance Cooper Jr. walk through how Step 3 helps students (and adults) stop talking about goals and start becoming the kind of person who achieves them. The discussion focuses on building goals the right way—using clarity, gratitude, purpose, and present-focused language.

At the end of the video, Brenton Leitch joins Dr. Cooper to reflect on how Step 3 supports teachers, coaches, and mentors in helping students build stronger habits—not just bigger goals.
