Hey there 👋 I'm Michael Bungay Stanier and I’m your coach and cheerleader in the How to Begin Course.

How to Begin Course

Inside the course, you’ll find a process that thousands of people have used to change their own lives.  That process is broken down into a series of accessible exercises that I coach you through in short videos.

You bring whatever it is you’re trying to do or change, and the How to Begin Course brings the way to make that more actionable and enjoyable, and more likely to be what you actually want and to stick. 

I made this course for you if:

  • You’re a coach or a leader committed to coach-like curiosity. And you’re looking for more tools to bring out the best in yourself and those you work with. Or …
  • You’ve had something on your to-do list forever. You want some help fully committing to it, and scaling it to your full life so you don’t get overwhelmed. Or …
  • You’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or a bit bored. You know you want something different or something more, and you want some help figuring out what that is. Or …
  • You’re in transition. There are choices to be made about where to put your time and energy next, and you want some tools to help you make those choices and feel good about them. Or …
  • You’re working on something important, but it’s stalled. You want help restarting and preparing for when life tries to stall this project again.

Here’s what you get lifetime access to in this self-paced course:

  • A series of bite-sized videos in which you are coached step-by-step through the How to Begin process (captioned and summarized, with downloadable transcripts and worksheets
  • 8 demo videos of people being coached through the How to Begin process
  • Student-requested bonus trainings to support your work, that include:

    1. How to manage overwhelm

    2. How to manage self-doubt
    3. How to ask for help
  • A community of learners to engage with in the comments and Team MBS support
