New Blog - Precision Change

A couple of my favorite bloggers (Ryan Oelke and Vincent Horn) have joined forces with life coach and podcast producer Duff McDuffee to start Precision Change, a site dedicated to . . .

technologies of transformation, from personal productivity to personal power, mastery to meditation, self-development to self-transcendence.

Unlike other blog sites that recycle tired old aphorisms and over-generalizations, we will focus on precise, practical ways to bring about change using the richest and deepest models available, backed by real experience. We will wrestle with complex issues while keeping it simple.

Think of it as personal development 201.

We’re new, so subscribe to the feed now and have the latest articles served piping hot to your feed reader or email inbox so you won’t miss anything.

And pardon our mess while we finish designing the site.


Stop and have a look around -- there are already some very fine posts, including . . .

Overcome Obstacles by Listening to the Voices in Your Head

You’re not crazy. Trust me.

We all have voices inside of us speaking their minds about our life - our projects, hopes, dreams, problems, and challenges. The good news is that having voices is not a bad thing. In fact, it’s through giving them a microphone front-and-center, one at a time, and hearing them fully that we succeed in life. Unfortunately, we often spend our time rushing through our days, ignoring them, and worse yet, letting one voice overshadow all other voices, giving us a very narrow perspective on life.

Ok, so you might have some doubts about all this, wondering just what a voice is. Think of a voice in the same way that you say things like, “A part of me feels/thinks this____, and a part of me feels/thinks that.” As an example, a part of you might want to get your financial debt under control, another part says it’s way to hard, and another part say to hell with it, live for today! Now, we haven’t quite got to the voices yet, only things the voices are saying.

Who or what is behind these statements?

Using the example again, a voice behind the first statement could be your Planner voice - the part of you that is always focused on long-term success and well-being, and with any issue in life, this Planner will take that side and present its case. Sometimes, you’ll value its perspective and other times you won’t, but if you don’t acknowledge it, there’s a good chance it will eat at you consciously or unconsciously. The important point here is to understand that we all have voices that take certain positions relative to any issue we’re dealing with.


As a fan of most forms of parts work, or subpersonality work, this is welcome post. Read the rest of it here.
