On Set in Tampa.
Chris sat down with host Amber Freeman on Bloom, Tampa Bay’s daily health and lifestyle hour on WFLA News Channel 8, to talk about why capable people settle for less than they are able to do.
Why capable people settle.
Bloom is Tampa Bay’s daily hour of health and lifestyle television, and Chris’s segment was built around a single question: why do so many capable people settle for less than they are able to do?
His answer comes from the research behind You Are Capable of More. He surveyed more than 200 working adults, and 92 percent said they are capable of more than they are doing now. When asked what was in the way, they kept naming the same four things.
It is a conversation for a general audience, which is exactly who the book was written for. No management vocabulary and no framework to memorize, just an honest look at what keeps people where they are and how small the first step out can be.
The free assessment at youarecapableofmore.com shows which of the four is doing the most work in your own life. Chris keeps it free so the price of the book is never the thing standing in someone’s way.
What holds capable people back.
What more than 200 working adults named when asked what stands between them and what they know they are capable of.
Self-Doubt
The inner voice that says this might not work. Named more often than anything else in the survey.
Fear of Failure
Close behind self-doubt, and usually travelling with it.
Too Busy
A full calendar that leaves no room for the thing that actually matters.
Comfort
The barrier that feels like a reward, which is exactly why it is so easy to miss.
The full segment.
You Are Capable of More.
You Are Capable of More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self is about personal potential, self-doubt, and the quiet ways comfort keeps good people where they are. It is built on the stories and the survey that shaped it, with a foreword by Ben Newman.
Bloom Tampa Bay.
Bloom is Tampa Bay’s daily one-hour health and lifestyle show, airing weekdays at 2:00 PM on WFLA News Channel 8 with host Amber Freeman. It covers health and medicine, fitness, mental health, relationships, and the everyday choices that shape how people live.
Chris is comfortable live, works to a tight run time, and can usually take short notice. If you produce a segment in a market where the book is finding readers, he is glad to come to you.
