Create and manage your commitments

A commitment starts as a behavior statement — “When X, I will Y” — and becomes 30 days of practice. Here’s how to create one and manage it over its life.

Before you start

The skills you can choose from depend on your licenses. If the wizard shows no skills, ask your organization’s LeaderFactor admin about access.

Add a commitment

1. In your Behavior Change Center, select Start working on a new commitment. The card only appears while you have an open slot — at most 3 commitments are active at a time.
2. Choose a skill — pick the skill area you want to work on.
3. Choose a behavior. Browse Planned Behaviors (anything you’ve saved for later, including behaviors flagged during a course) or All Behaviors from LeaderFactor’s library.
4. Or write your own: select Can’t find the right behavior? Create your own, name it, and fill in the two blanks — “When…” (the situation) and “I will…” (the behavior). Write with AI drafts the statement from your title if you’d rather not start from scratch.
5. Review the commitment — 30 days, two check-ins a week — choose whether you want email reminders, and select Create Commitment.

Plan behaviors for later

Not ready to activate? Select Add to list on the Planned Commitments card to save behaviors without starting them. When a slot opens, open a planned commitment and select Start this commitment.

Pause and resume

Need a break? Open an active commitment and select Pause this commitment. Your progress is saved; select Resume commitment whenever you’re ready, as long as a slot is open. Paused and planned commitments can also be deleted — that can’t be undone.

Complete and extend

After 30 days the commitment completes and moves to your Past Commitments. Select Extend for 30 more days to run another cycle with the same behavior — as many times as you like.

Once a commitment is active, the work is the weekly rhythm: Check in on your commitments each week.
