TOP coaching practice to make progress on ANY of your goals.

Growth doesn’t vanish because we lack motivation; it stalls because we never gave it a place to live on our calendar.  

Today we dig into the most unglamorous yet powerful practice that top coaching schools use to build mastery: making the time.  

I share how small, protected commitments beat bursts of inspiration every time.  

We walk through concrete examples - from a daily 30-minute fitness slot that compounds strength, to relationship check-ins that turn intentions into trust, to a personal miss on public speaking that proved how plans without scheduled time go nowhere. You’ll hear how to set alarms and triggers that support follow-through, how to scale tasks on low-energy days without breaking the streak, and how to be honest about the hours excellence requires. This isn’t about being busy; it’s about building a reliable system that matches your goals.  

By the end, you’ll have a simple playbook - if you’ve been stuck at “almost ready,” this is your reset, choose a slot, protect it, and watch momentum return. If this resonates, tap follow, share the episode with someone who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review so more people learn how to turn intention into progress.

The One Practice Revealed

Fitness and Relationships Examples

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of Change Wired Podcast. My name is Angela Sharina. I'm your host. I'm your partner in change and transformation. Someone with a mission to help the world grow into its full potential. One person, one action, one habit at a time. By the end of this podcast today, guys, you're gonna learn about one simple practice that will help you to get better, get ahead of most of the people, and start making progress where perhaps you've been stuck for quite a while. Just one simple practice can transform everything, literally everything. And without this, I'd argue, nothing else in your personal, professional, your career, your relationship, none of the growth possible without this one practice. This one practice, what is this practice? I started a new coaching certification, just enrolled, gonna be in it for the next 20 plus weeks, after which there's gonna be an exam and board certification and all the fun stuff. The reason why I enrolled in another certification with the same top world's top coaching schools is because they have like the best tools, they work so hard and well on creating the curriculum that is not some old-ass thing they did years ago, they created years ago. No, they have coaches and people working in that uh coaching school uh delivering the most like research, current, profound insights and tools, and somehow they make it simple so that every week you progress towards becoming a better coach through simple practices, and they start uh their coaching certifications with one simple practice, and the practices make the time literally. That is what the world's well, not the one of the world's top coaching schools in the world uh starts you with on your coaching certification journey on helping you to become master coach, what they call. And the reason why they start with this practice, right? It it seems so trivial. Like, make the time, do we need to practice this as adults? But if you think about that, every single thing you improved, you worked on, you got some results, you without maybe thinking about that too much, you studied with this practice. And when you failed with making progress at anything, whether that's relationships, your career growth, your personal growth, it's because you first failed to do this practice of making the time. Let's say you want to work on your health and your fitness, and you put on your calendar 30 minutes every day to do your fitness, and you don't allow anything to get into the schedule. You set the alarm, the triggers, you do all the right things, and you show up for this thing that you put on your calendar every day for 30 minutes, and you'll do something. You're not gonna be just sitting there with the time, you're gonna do something, you're gonna start moving. And over time, that something done consistently will result in progress that you want. The same if you decide to work on your relationships with your spouses, with your parents, with your kids, with your teammates, with your friends. If you put collectively, because relationships usually take more than one person, time to work on that specific relationship and you show up for that time, you will do something. And you will do something consistently, and over time, that consistency will manifest in progress in that relationship.

If you have if you don't believe me, try it. I did it with my parents, with my sister. It works, it works every time. Now, let's say you wanna well, let's take one failed example from my personal life. I've been saying for two months now that I want to work on my public speaking skills. And well, I never put it to uh it never made to my calendar. And guess what happened? Exactly, nothing happened because I didn't do this one practice of making the time, and maybe that is why leading world's coaching school starts you with this practice before diving fully into all the other skills you need as a coach. Because in order for us coaches signing up for this certification program to succeed, we first and foremost need to make the time. Because if we don't make the time, nothing else matters. You're not gonna have any skills developed if you dedicate no time to this coaching certification. And they did a really good job. So at the beginning, they specified in order to succeed with the certification and develop the skills that you need to become that master coach to improve, you need to dedicate, you need to put on your calendar five to eight hours every week for the next 20, I think it's like 22 weeks, for the next 20 weeks, five to eight hours every week in order to create the progress that we want you to make with the skills of master coach. And that's what I did before starting this certification. I looked at my calendar and I asked myself, do I have five at the very least to eight hours every week to dedicate to the certification? Because if I don't, why bother signing up just to rush through everything and kind of show up for some meetings and kind of do the assignments and but not really improving, which I'm there for. Like sometimes you just need a paper, but I'm there to improve my skills to grow as a coach, and that will require commitment of time. And again, because they have so many students over time, they learned that this is the amount of time that you would usually need to make the progress that we need you to make in this certification for you to succeed. So making the time. Now, over to you, dear listener. It's gonna be a short podcast, and I'm almost done. But before I'm done, actually, please do a rate, a review, share this podcast so we reach more ears willing to put in the time, the work to learn, improve, to grow. And maybe someone is failing to make progress and they need to hear this podcast. You know, especially when someone already at sort of uh advanced or maybe just good level and they need to advance, but they're not sure how. Maybe they're failing to make the time. Or maybe you know someone who wants to work on their relationship but with someone, anyone, but they never put in the time. Maybe it's gonna be a good reminder. So share this podcast. One ask for me. And then let's continue. So over to you, dear listener. What are you what do you want to work on? Uh for the next week. Let's make it really short. What do you want to make progress on in the next week? Today is Monday for me. In the next day, even and then ask yourself, have I made the time? Have I put it on my calendar? Do I have a slot in my calendar, whether that's paper planner, or your Google or your uh Apple calendar? Did you make the time? Do you have the time dedicated to that specific activity? The time that, from your understanding, it needs to make the kind of progress that you seek to make. Right? It's also very important to reflect on this fact that if you want to make meaningful progress, if you want to master something, then be realistic about how much time it will actually require. Not the minimum. Sometimes it's minimum, sometimes like you know, I just want to do the minimum to understand certain things. Then put the minimum. You know yourself, how you work, how you learn, how much time is needed for certain activities. But if you know that something needs to be done well, and you know that the time it requires is not minimum, then put that time. It's like me preparing for the workshop this week. I already did six hours of work, and I'm gonna do three hours today and three hours tomorrow, and three hours the day after, because I want to deliver something I'm proud of. And that's why this time is on my calendar. So make the time. If this practice is good enough for one of the world's top coaching schools, one of the most popular for sure, like the amount of people that went through the school is just amazing. So if they decided that this is practice number one to become a master coach, then perhaps, perhaps, that's something that you want to start with as well. Hope this podcast was useful. Thank you, listeners, thank you guys, leaders, change agents for tuning in, for sharing with me your time, your attention. And till next time, keep improving, keep listening, and keep growing.
