Our maxim, knowledge plus application equals personal power, beats at the very heat of The Reach Approach. In a world where so many people, organisations and institutions are busy overpromising and underdelivering, we are daring to say that if you want lasting solutions then you have to respect the natural order. Sustainable solutions take time and the primary reason for that is change is a process, not an event.
Rarely is a single action enough to achieve the outcomes we seek. Is it possible, having read the architect’s plans, to build a house overnight that will be robust, keep you safe and secure, and weather any storms? Are you likely to get the body that you wish for by listening to a podcast, attending a gym for a few sessions, or by watching strength training or pilates videos, explaining what needs to be done? Can the farmer plough the field, prepare the land and sow the seeds and expect the harvest the following week? Of course the answer to all of these propositions is no. Anything that is going to deliver results that count requires clarity of purpose, focus, consistency and application.
