The Choose Movement Certification Program (CMCP) is a structured, low-daily-effort program designed to equip you to be more effective at applying your strengths, conquering fears and weaknesses, working with others, and identifying positive opportunities for yourself and others. The CMCP focuses on 13 interconnected behavioral skills that have been identified throughout history by historical figures, religious texts, and modern day researchers as keys to accomplishing these goals.
The structure of the CMCP follows Benjamin Franklin’s 13×4 character development method. As a participant, you will focus on one skill each week. You will be supplied with small actionable suggestions to help you practice and experience the use of each skill. At the end of the week you will move on to the next skill. After you have completed a week for each skill, you will start again from skill 1. However this time you will have experience with all 13 so you can apply the skills more effectively. Each additional run through the program reinforces all the skills while maintaining variety in your training.
We are currently running the CMCP through Coach.me. This is a free app and online service that enables you to receive your practice suggestions each day, set up reminders, participate in the Choose Movement community, and track your progress. See the Join page for information on how to begin.
The 13 skills you practice as part of CMCP are all important behavioral skills that businesses strive to find. As you participate in CMCP, your check-ins will be tracked which will add up and contribute to your overall certification level. The higher your level, the more you have demonstrated dedication to incorporating these skills into your life. CMCP is a clear and tangible measure for businesses to determine if a candidate actively incorporates these skills into their daily lives.
My dream is taking a risk and getting into the startup scene. I was able to take action this week by learning technical details of a project that I needed to start research with. It was tricky for me to do since I didn’t really know where to start, but asking questions just to get the process started has already helped immensely.
I’ve decided to stop letting the date affect my mental state when it comes to my grad school apps. Forgetting about the calendar and not putting so much pressure on me to hit benchmarks has made a marked difference in terms of how I am approaching my goals. Studying for the sake of studying has been pleasurable, not stressful, since I decided to slow down – and when I get stuck, I give myself the time it takes to work through the problem again rather than rushing to look at the answer.
Participated in family conference call to help my dad make some important healthcare decisions. Recognizing that each person had different preferences and perspectives, I tried to understand the root cause of decision factors for each person to add a level of objectivity to a very emotional discussion.
