Heroic Coach | Week 1 Look Ahead

Hero!

Michael here. 👋

Welcome again to Heroic Coach — Class XXIII, which officially kicked off on Monday!

And again, congratulations on beginning your 300-day Heroic Coach journey. (←Note: Getting to the starting line is arguably the hardest part of anything!)

We sent you an email like this one as you first joined Class XXIII, but we wanted to send it one more time since we're now officially in week 1.

Something we hadn't included in that past email is the fact that for each Module, you'll find a Heroic App Connection practice. Each of these will help you take what you're learning in the Heroic Coach Program and move it into the app.

You can find this week's here, where you'll learn how to add the "Live with Areté" to your Heroic protocol, plus, how you can introduce yourself on Heroic social. (Be sure to use #classxxiii when you do!)

Can't wait to connect with you on Heroic social!

Now...

We’re going to have a ton of fun as we make 2024 the GREATEST years of our lives, together… starting with Module O and this first full week of the program.

Let’s step back and set some quick context for today’s note.

At the beginning of each week, we’ll send a short Look Ahead note (like this one) highlighting important actions to take. (Typically this email goes out on Mondays!)

Then, at the end of the week, we’ll send another short Wrap Up note recapping what happened.

You can access the program via your Coach Dashboard on Web or via the Mastery tab in the Heroic App. Just make sure you're logged into your account with the email you used to purchase Heroic Coach.

In the app, the Mastery tab is where you'll find the heart of the program, The Mastery Series, as well as all of the optional (but highly encouraged) live call recordings.

In the app you'll also want to utilize the Core Wisdom category to view (and work through) the Philosopher's Notes, +1s, and 101s that are required in order to earn a Certification. (You'll find this category at the bottom of the Theory tab or via the link above.)

On web, the required Wisdom (Philosopher's Notes, +1s, 101s) will be interspersed through each Module.

Be sure to always mark Modules, Practices, and pieces of Heroic Wisdom as complete once you're done with them! ✓

You'll also want to go ahead and set up your Big 3 Protocol (if you haven't yet) via the Practice tab. If you've never set up your protocol before, the app will walk you through it. We'll go deeper into the Big 3 during Module III. Following that Module, you'll be expected to commit to YOUR Heroic Protocol 5/7 days from then on out.

Later in the program we'll encourage you to add certain required Fundamentals to your protocol.

You'll need to be practicing each of the seven fundamentals consistently by the end of the program in order to earn your Certification. More on that later!

Now...

Today, after hitting this week’s Action, we’ll also be sharing a few quick logistical updates, as well as tips for navigating and prioritizing within the program.

Let’s get to it!

Note2: We recommend you save and or print this Journey Map. It will highlight what the focus is of each week of the program. This way, you always have clarity on what we’re working on and what’s ahead.

Actions:
Actions are broken down into two main components — Theory to watch and Practices to reflect on or act upon.

This week, we’re looking at:

Watch: Module O: Optimize = Optimus = Best = Eudiamon = Hērō. (PDF of the poster + worksheets here.) In the introduction to the Heroic Mastery Series and Heroic Coach program, we learn the process for expressing the Optimize = Optimus = Best = Eudaimon = Hero versions of ourselves more and more consistently, closing the gap between who we’re CAPABLE of being and who we’re ACTUALLY being and giving the world all we’ve got.
Practice: Flip the Switch (all day every day!) and run The Ultimate Optimizing Algorithm.
Heroic App Connection: Learn how to add the "Live with Areté" to your Heroic protocol, plus, how to introduce yourself on Heroic social.

Live Coaching in the Heroic Coach Dojo

If you haven't yet, please be sure to add the Heroic Coach calendar to your calendar so that you can stay up-to-date on all (optional!) live coaching calls.

Now...

It’s Time.
It's an honor to be on this journey with you together.

Here’s to closing the gap between who we’re capable of being and who we’re actually being, mastering ourselves, serving heroically, and empowering others to do the same.

So that we can change the world. One person at a time.

Together.

Starting with you and me and us.

Today.

Love + Soul hugs + High fives 🙌

-Michael and Team Heroic Coach
