Join us on Friday, June 5, 2026 at noon for an hour-long seminar about the power of habits. Dr. Nessie Early will be joining us and taking us through the importance of establishing positive habits and how to create meaningful, lasting changes in daily routines. This mini seminar is inspired by the exercises and workbooks Class 55 is focusing on throughout their summer break.

We will explore the idea that lasting self-improvement comes from small, consistent behavioral changes repeated over time. By focusing on systems and identity rather than goals alone, these practices help turn everyday actions into long-term personal and professional growth. Fellows will gain practical tools for building positive habits and breaking those that no longer serve them.
