Hi, it’s AJ and it’s time for the last step, Step Number 7. Of course, I told you at the beginning there are 7 Essential Steps for Change and Leadership and this is the last step. This is one that kind of cements the change. It makes the change permanent, long-lasting, so that it becomes a part of your life and not just something that you do and it goes away again. A lot of people experience this where you make some big change in your life and maybe you even keep that change for a week or two weeks, or something like that. And then it just sort of goes away and you go back to the old behavior again. It’s really common. It’s common, for example, with health.

 Hi, this is AJ from Effortless English and Learn Real English. And it’s time for the next step, Step Number 6 of the 7 Essential Steps for Change and Leadership. So you’ve learned five quite powerful steps, going from very general steps to very specific. And we’re getting more and more specific now. Now in the last step, Step Number 5, you learned the importance of destroying and scrambling old patterns, old behaviors, old habits. You’ve got to destroy those old ones first, very, very important. However, if you only do that, you’re probably not going to make the big improvement, the big change, that you want. And if this is a leadership situation, if you only help someone else do that, you only help them to break the old behavior but you don’t help them with this step, again it’s probably not enough. They may change a little bit and then go right back to the old behavior. Or, the worst thing is, you change that old behavior but a new one replaces it that’s also bad, right?
