Ep. 26: The Power of Habit: What’s Really Shaping You
In this solo episode of Silent Service, Will shares personal reflections and key takeaways from Charles Duhigg’s best-selling book The Power of Habit. From NFL coach Tony Dungy’s playbook changes, to Paul O’Neill’s leadership at Alcoa, Starbucks’ customer service training, Rosa Parks’ pivotal stand, and the biblical faithfulness of Daniel, Will explores how habits shape our faith, leadership, and daily life. Learn how to identify your keystone habits, break old routines, and create patterns that move you closer to the life God’s called you to live.
