Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala

Your personality is set in stone, right? Wrong!

Countless research studies show that traits can and do change over time and that you can facilitate this process by taking intentional action. So, what if instead of telling yourself “I can’t do [insert activity] because I’m not [insert characteristic] enough, you imagined the life of your dreams and purposefully developed the traits that would help get you there.

Shannon Sauer-Zavala, PhD, a clinical psychologist and personality change researcher, uses her own journey from messy and lazy to off the charts in conscientiousness to illustrate the science-based principles of personality change. She will challenge the notion that you’re stuck with the personality you’re born with and empower you to use your dreams to determine the traits you develop.
