Learn the secrets to success with SCOPE! Your skill doesn’t change from day to day—it’s your energy that changes and affects how well you perform. Whether it's a sports, work, or home activity, learning to shift your energy is the one thing that changes EVERYTHING! Developed by performance coaches, SCOPE is the only assessment in the world that measures your energy IN THE MOMENT, showing you which factors are influencing you and giving you strategies to shift yourself BEFORE playing, performing, competing, or accomplishing just about ANYTHING. When you take a SCOPE assessment, you’ll know which factors (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, social, and/or environmental) are affecting the energy in your “fuel tank.” Best of all, you’ll be given strategies to shift your energy right in the moment so that you can immediately move into higher performance mode. Designed to be taken before any task, activity, or performance, the SCOPE assessment gives you a “Performance Factor” which lets you know your chances for success. The higher your Performance Factor, the more likely it is that you'll perform well. It is possible to rate a wide variety of tasks including: • Practicing a skill • Performing a skill • Speaking on stage • Making healthy lifestyle choices • Meeting with a client • Going to work in the morning • Having dinner with a friend • Participating in an athletic competition • Taking part in a social event • Working with a team • Communicating about a challenging issue • And much, much more!

The Happier app gives you the tools, tips, and insights to build a happier life—based on the research of happiness expert Gretchen Rubin. Apps that tell you what to do will never work for everyone. Happier is designed to help you figure out what actually makes you happier, then gives you the tools and guidance to make it happen. WHAT YOU GET: Daily content to keep you moving forward: Learn from fresh tips, reflection prompts, quick challenges, and insights every day. Habit-building tools that match how you work: Try different tracking methods to find what clicks: streaks, photo logs, journal entries, number tracking, and more. Track any habit you choose—exercise, reading, sleep, relationships, creativity, organization, whatever matters to you. Personalized recommendations based on your personality: Take the Four Tendencies quiz to discover whether you’re an Obliger, Questioner, Upholder, or Rebel–then try the tools and approaches that fit your tendency, so you’re working with your nature instead of against it. Fun challenges when you need a boost: There’s always room for a bit of fun. Spin the Challenge Wheel for instant prompts you can complete in minutes—clear a drawer, text a friend, take ten deep breaths, try something new. Or, dive into a 7-day Jump-Start, designed to help you break out of old patterns. Whether you're focused on self improvement, personal growth, or simply building better daily habits, Happier gives you a flexible approach that adapts to your life.
