Hello, Dr. Howard Dennis here, your certified High Performance coach. Today we're diving into Charge Session #7: CHANGE —and how you can become proactive about making the changes that matter most in your life.

Grab your journal. Let's grow together and have some meaningful discussions about how you can take your next best step.

The Reality of Change

We just had a big snowstorm come through that shut down my chiropractic practice for a day. Sometimes change is brought upon us—weather, unexpected events, life circumstances. And when that happens, we can allow it to derail our great habits.

But here's what separates high performers from everyone else: We don't wait for change to happen TO us. We make it happen.

We're talking about being proactive in our lives and making change happen in a purposeful way. For instance, if you work out at home, you don't let the weather dictate whether you exercise or not. You're proactive when faced with challenges.

The Power of One Connection

When I was in chiropractic school, I made a decision that changed the trajectory of my entire life. I joined an adjusting club called Gonstead Club.

It was uncomfortable. I had to meet new people, work on my craft in front of others, and push myself beyond my comfort zone. But that single decision to connect opened doors I never could have imagined.

That club led me to develop the skills I needed for my preceptorship. It led me to meet my mentor, Dr. Ward, who traveled the country teaching the Gonstead method. And ultimately, it led me to become his partner and buy into an existing practice.

I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't prioritized connection.

That's the power we're exploring today in Charge Session #6: CONNECTION .

Your Connection Assessment

Let me ask you to reflect on this statement and rate yourself from 1-10 (with 10 being "completely agree"):

"I feel deeply connected to the people in my life. Overall, I have healthy re...

QUICK RECAP FROM LAST WEEK:

Welcome back, friend! Last week we dove deep into something really important - sustained motivation and how to keep it alive every single day. Here's what we discovered together:

MOTIVATION IS A DAILY PRACTICE - We talked about how motivation isn't something you stumble upon or wait to feel. It's something you build through the small choices you make every day. Whether you stay centered when chaos hits or take action when you'd rather chill out - these are YOUR choices, and they become your habits.

YOUR GREATEST MOTIVATION - We explored what truly drives you. Is it providing for your family? Making a meaningful impact? Building something that outlasts you? When you're crystal clear on what fuels you, everything else becomes easier.

BUILDING MOTIVATION HABITS - I shared some practical morning, daily, and weekly habits that high performers use to generate motivation automatically. Because here's the truth: successful people don't wait to feel moti...

QUICK RECAP FROM LAST WEEK:

Hey, welcome back!

Last week we had an important conversation about making this YOUR year - the year things actually change instead of just staying the same.

We explored two powerful areas that can transform your life:

1. CONTRIBUTION - We talked about discovering your meaningful impact on the world. And here's what matters: Your contribution isn't measured by your bank account. Sometimes your time, attention, and care mean more to someone than any amount of money ever could.

2. COMPETENCE - We looked at how growing your knowledge and skills is the foundation for everything else. When you commit to learning something new every month, you become a completely different person by year's end.

We did some honest self-reflection with those 1-10 ratings (and I hope they gave you some valuable insights about where you are right now)...

And I shared the 5 Step Clarity Blueprint to help guide you forward.

Here's What I Want You To Know:

If you didn't ta...

Are you going to let another year slip away without real progress?

I'm Dr. Howard Dennis, Certified High Performance Coach, and I've seen it happen too many times. People enter the new year with excitement and resolutions, only to find themselves in the same place twelve months later, wondering where the time went.

But it doesn't have to be that way. This year can be different. This year can be YOUR year.

Let me share with you the framework that has helped countless individuals transform their lives and discover their true purpose.

The Problem with "Someday"

Here's the brutal truth: Someday is how you lose years of your life.

We tell ourselves:

• "I'll start after the holidays"
• "When things settle down at work"
• "After Valentine's Day"
• "When the weather clears up"
• "When I have more money"
• "When the kids are older"

This is self-deception at its finest. And it's a weight that holds us back from the life we're meant to live.

Your future self is waitin...

Hello, I'm Dr. Howard Dennis, your certified high performance coach. We're going through our Charge Sessions, and this is Charge Session #3: COMPETENCE — the first live session of 2026!

Grab your journal and let's learn together.

My Story: Stepping Into the Unknown

Let me take you back to February 1996.

I had just graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic, and I was heading down to the beautiful northeast part of Tennessee to open my practice. I was buying an existing practice and immediately becoming business partners with Dr. Charlie Ward — a master of what we call the Gonstead system of chiropractic.

Dr. Ward had worked with Gonstead himself. He was a fellow in the Gonstead system. I was learning directly from t...

We're in The Charge Sessions, and today we're diving into Session #2: CONTROL .

So grab your journal and let's do some good work together.

First, I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. Merry Christmas, and wherever you're at, have a great one.

I've been thinking a lot about ending this year strong and starting next year with momentum — and this topic of control is perfect for that.

You Are the Captain of Your Ship

Here's the truth: We are autonomous. We are the captains of our ships.

We've got to stop giving away our power and letting excuses win the stories of our lives.

Because when we do that, we lose control. And when we lose control — or worse, when we're controlling the wrong things — it increases uncertainty, disappointment, and leads to an unfulfilling life.

This is our good work. The work happens before the great things.

Yes, rain happens on the just and the unjust. But the truly successful have control of their mind, their attitudes...

Merry Christmas! I'm Dr. Howard Dennis, your certified high performance coach.

While everyone is unwrapping presents today, I want to invite you to unwrap something even more valuable — clarity about who you are and who you're becoming .

Today, we're going to complete the first session of what we call The Charge Sessions — the 10 Human Drives Assessment.

So grab your journal, pour yourself some coffee (or hot cocoa), and let's do this good work together. This is the perfect time to reflect on the year behind you and prepare for the year ahead.

A Christmas Story of Hope and Transformation

I've shared this before, but it feels especially meaningful during this season of reflection: Brendon Burchard wrote his book The Charge after suffering a serious four-wheeler accident. The very charges we're going over today are what helped him pull out of a difficult time .

And quite frankly, they helped me too.

When I was facing financial challenges and watching one of my ...
