THE CHOICE POINT
The Scientifically Proven Method to Push Past Mental Walls and to Achieve Your Goals
In this essential book, the authors introduce us to Functional Imagery Training (FIT), a new discipline that helps us tackle the thousands of negative thoughts we experience every day that lead us down the path of compromising our goals.
Weight gain. Poor employee engagement. Climate change. What do they all have in common? They are all persistent problems for which solutions are readily available, and yet, on an individual and collective level, we continually make choices that lead us not closer to, but further away from our stated objectives. Whether we choose the burger over the salad, top-down management over collaboration, or leniency over rigor in combatting climate change, it all comes down to the same thingthe "Choice Point", the moment at which we each choose to take an action that we know will undermine our success, but we do it anyway.
Humans experience thousands of thoughts every day: 80 percent are negative, while only 5 percent are new thoughts. We make most of our decisions within two seconds, using mental autopilot systems that we've built through years of experiences. FIT teaches us how to pick the thoughts that deserve our attention, and how to stop the other, negative thoughts from impacting our actions. Through FIT, we can pause decisions that would typically conflict with our goals, lengthen our Choice Point, and go from passenger to driver of our own minds.
Initially developed in 2005 by academics in the UK and Australia, with formal principles emerging through research in 2018, FIT blends motivational interviewing with imagery into a user-friendly model so we can learn, adapt, and adjust our behavior to go beyond what we think is possible.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova will contribute the Foreword.
Joanna Grover, LCSW, and Jonathan Rhodes, PhD, are the first practitioners in the U.S. and the first to use these FIT techniques for large organizations and teams. Together they are the founders of Imagery Coaching.
Joanna is an executive coach with two decades of experience as a cognitive behavioral therapist specializing in anxiety. She first encountered FIT when it helped her recover from a horse-riding accident. She became the first person in the US to be certified in FIT. Since 2019, Jo has used FIT mainly in an individual context, where she's worked with top leaders, Olympic athletes, C-suite executives at corporations such as Citi, IBM, and KPMG. She is a board certified coach and member of the International Coaching Federation and the Harvard Institute of Coaching. She is based in Miami, Florida.
Jonathan is a Chartered Psychologist (British Psychological Society) and a published researcher and lecturer specializing in cognitive psychology. After working with athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games, Jonathan decided to research strategies that change mindset, train individual and cultural resilience, and enhance performance. His work developing FIT has led to rising performance levels of athletes who went on to compete at the Olympic Games, in Premiership football and rugby, and with a multitude of athletes competing in other sports such as with Red Bull Cliff Divers, and America's Cup sailors. In 2019, Jonathan partnered with the British Army to develop the British Army Commando Resilience Training Program, which has increased recruits passing the All-Arms Commando Course by 44 percent. He lives in Plymouth, UK.
