Helping individuals develop new behaviors and lasting habits is critical to consulting psychologists in the coaching, training, and consulting programs they are involved in. Despite the numerous theories, models, and frameworks for habit and behavior change practitioners and leaders are still in search of a concise, evidence-based model to effectively assist clients and employees in setting and achieving goals that enhance individual, team, and organizational effectiveness and support change initiatives. This article revisits and updates the theory-based 3E (enlighten, encourage, and enable) model of individual behavior change to translate insight and intentions into deliberate practice leading to successful individual change outcomes (Mashihi & Nowack, 2025; Nowack, 2009).
