John Stepper: Working Out Loud

John developed Working Out Loud, a practice that helps people be more effective, access more opportunities, and feel happier at work. Over several years, a small movement has formed based on his self-published book*, TEDx talk, and a peer support method that’s spread to over 40 countries and companies like Bosch, Daimler, BMW, and Siemens.

Key Points
  • Behavior change is about small steps, peer support, celebration along the way, and continual feedback.
  • Changes start with only one tiny step. Do that until it gets easy, then take the next step.
  • Peer support is a major part of habit change. Peer support gives you structure, shared accountability, and emotional support.
