10 Reasons High Performance Coaching Programs Start with Celebrations

Highly successful coaching programs start with celebrations. Here are the top reasons why this approach to coaching is more effective.

  1. Wins, Celebration, and Gratitude creates momentum: what you celebrate, you get more of.  Similar to the saying where your attention goes is where your behavior flows!
  1.  Stanford Researcher BJ Fogg explains, “In my research, I’ve found that adults have many ways to tell themselves “I did a bad job” and very few ways of saying “I did a good job.” He then also explains, “You can create this good feeling by using a technique I call “celebration.” When you celebrate, you create a positive feeling inside yourself on demand. This good feeling wires the new habit into your brain. Celebration is both a specific technique for behavior change and a psychological frame shift.” https://ideas.ted.com/how-you-can-use-the-power-of-celebration-to-make-new-habits-stick/
  1. Wins and Celebrations are a form of gratitude.  When we express gratitude and receive the same, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions, and they make us feel ‘good’. They enhance our mood immediately, making us feel happy from the inside.
  1.  In the book The Gratitude Project: How the Science of Thankfulness Can Rewire Our Brains for Resilience, Optimism, and the Greater Good, Robert Emmons writes that “practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings.” Gratitude helps you see the bigger picture and become more resilient in the face of adversity.
