Precision Change is a blog and podcast for “personal development 201.” We go deeper, present multiple perspectives, cut through hype, and help you find what’s right for you.
Putting Personal Development in It’s Place
Change is exciting. You’ve realized the power to make significant changes in your health, your finances, your personal productivity, and your relationships. But let’s not get crazy about it, ok? Here we explore the joys and the limits of growth, and how to maintain balance and harmony as we continually engage more fully with life.
Who’s Responsible for This?
Host Duff McDuffee and (formerly) Executive Producer Ryan Oelke take 100% responsibility for co-producing the weekly Precision Change podcast. But Duff reserves the right to regularly change his mind and contradict himself about anything he’s said or written. 
The podcast is currently in hibernation, as Ryan has left the project, and Duff has second thoughts about the field of personal development generally.
Duff McDuffee, Host
Duff McDuffee is a Modern Magician. He has studied many esoteric tomes and learned many practical incantations for making change happen as a Life Coach, and in his own personal development.
In his youth, Duff had debilitating social anxiety and depression. He overcame this (to a great extent) as an adult through a self-administered protocol of small acts of courage, linguistic reframing, following his bliss, and Friday night dance therapy. As a result of this success and years of autodidactic study, Duff gained the inspiration and skills to help others overcome their “impossible” problems.
Duff has studied the Enneagram, a personality type theory, since age 12. He has been deeply involved in the Integral community (a group of spiritual philosophy geeks who read tons of Ken Wilber and try to integrate everything), having worked for Ken’s Integral Institute, but is now skeptical of the quest to understand everything through any theory. Duff has practiced Vipassana meditation on several 10-day intensive retreats since 2003, is deeply steeped in the fascinating models of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, has been practicing GTD since 2004 (albeit in the remedial class), and received a B.A. in Philosophy from Lawrence University with a focus in the Cognitive Sciences. Since late 2008, Duff has been sold on the method of Core Transformation, developed by Connirae Andreas. Core Transformation is a powerful method for finding wholeness through our pains, fears, and limitations.
Duff is Host of the Precision Change podcast. He’s also co-hosted about 25 episodes of Conscious Business, has been a guest on several episodes of Buddhist Geeks, and has co-facilitated a Philosophy dialogue group since 2004.
Duff has been working on the web ever since learning HTML in 1996. He is proud to have been part of several failed conscious business startups, but no longer has any interest in working that hard.
