The Four Tendencies Course

There’s no magic, one-size-fits-all answer for building a happier, healthier, more productive life. I developed an in-depth video course about my Four Tendencies framework to help you harness self-knowledge so you can take steps to create the life you want — in the way that’s right for you.

Understand Yourself. Understand Others.

Find the strategies that will work effectively for YOU to create the life you want.

How It Works

When you enroll in the course, you’ll get access to 3 introductory videos so you can get started right away. When you’ve completed the course, you’ll have specific strategies to implement based on your Tendency, not just what works for me, or someone else you know.

Who Is The Four Tendencies Course For?

This course is for you if you’ve ever wondered…
  • Why can other people rely on me, but I can’t rely on myself?
  • Why does it seem like I resist doing things I WANT to do?
  • What can’t other people accept that I find comfort and freedom in my routines?
  • Why doesn’t everyone do the things they say they are going to do like I do?
  • Why do I struggle to make decisions, often becoming overwhelmed by analysis paralysis?
  • Why can’t I make time for myself and the habits I know would make me happier and healthier?

The Gift of Understanding

Know someone who feels like they need a little help understanding themselves and others better? Gift them lifetime access to this easy-to-use course and they’ll soon be on their way to a new kind of self knowledge and understanding.

Here’s What The Program Looks Like

For five weeks, I’ll release one lesson each day from Monday through Friday. I’ve designed the course so that each day’s lesson should take no more than twenty minutes per day. I really want you to be able easily to incorporate this learning experience into your everyday life.

5 Weeks of Instruction

The first week will focus on your Tendency. Then, you’ll learn how to deal with other Tendencies, and how to harness your Tendency.

14 Video Lessons

In 14 high-quality video lessons, you’ll learn how to understand and deal with each Tendency as well as apply that information with exercises and reflection questions.

17 Interviews

Gretchen spoke with people from every Tendency about how they have taken knowledge of their Tendency to create the life they want. Check out the list below!

Archived Life Calls

Gretchen has hosted several “Ask Me Anything” calls with year. You are able to access the recordings and listen to Gretchen answer many excellent questions about The Four Tendencies.

Private Community

During the course you will be given access to a private community where you can connect and share what you’re learning with those participating in the course with you.

Lifetime Access

After the 5 weeks of instruction end, you will have lifetime access to all course and bonus material. You will be able to go back and rewatch lessons or catch up if you got behind.

Frequent Questions

Should I get my friends to join?

You’ll have access to an online community with whom to share your progress, but if you know someone who would enjoy or benefit from this course, please spread the word!

Do I need to purchase the book?

No. If you’ve already read the book, you’ll enjoy the additional information and resources this course provides. If you want to get the book after you take the course, to continue pondering the ideas, terrific, but not required.
I’ve designed the course to help people dive deeper into the concepts from The Four Tendencies, and really apply them to their life in a practical way. There’s definitely a lot of information that’s presented in the book—and there’s also additional information not found in the book. For instance, the course also includes interviews, live “Ask Me Anything” calls, and the community element. If you’ve read the book, you’ll find that some content is familiar and that some is new and will help you put the Four Tendencies to work in your life.

Do I have to have a Facebook account to join the community?

You do not need to have a Facebook account to join the community. The community is hosted in “Private Groups” on my app, Better. One group includes everyone who’s going through the course with you right now, and another group includes people of your Tendency.

What if I have questions while going through the course?

If you have a question or need help with the course website or community, you can contact the support team from the “Support” button on the member dashboard.
