Group Coaching Nuggets #20.14 – The One Percent Rule
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary with the Group Coaching Essentials CCE program, I'm taking a look back at key "nuggets" coaches, leaders and learning professionals have taken out of our programs. I'm kicking us off with one of my favorites that spans both coach training and the work we do with solopreneurs as part of the Flow Flex Scale™ Lab - The One Percent Rule that I first introduced back in 2009. Its actually become the foundational philosophy of all our business supports.
So what is the One Percent Rule?
At its core, the One Percent Rule is about taking small, consistent actions toward meaningful goals—especially the ones that feel overwhelming or easy to delay. Instead of waiting for the perfect time, full clarity, or a big block of time, the focus shifts to: What is the smallest step I can take today?
In group and team coaching, this principle is powerful. It helps participants move from insight to action, reduces overwhelm, and builds momentum across the group. In leadership and organizational contexts, it supports sustainable change by encouraging progress over perfection.
For solopreneurs and coaches building their businesses, the One Percent Rule is equally transformative. Daily visibility, one conversation, one outreach, one piece of content—these small steps compound into real traction and revenue over time.
Why does this matter in today’s landscape?
Because complexity, uncertainty, and competing priorities can stall even the most capable professionals. The One Percent Rule offers a practical, accessible way forward.
Try this:
Identify one goal you’ve been putting off. What is your 1% step today?
Because in coaching—and in business--momentum is built one small action at a time.
