How it works

Three steps from stuck to a plan

No long forms, no theory dump. A short diagnostic, a guided conversation, and a plan you can act on this week.

1
Step one

Take the check-up

Answer a short set of questions across the 7 traps. It takes under 8 minutes and there are no wrong answers.

2
Step two

Talk it through with AI David

Your Trapologist coach reflects your results back to you, asks the right questions, and helps you see what's really holding you back.

3
Step three

Leave with an action plan

Walk away with a personal plan built from your own answers: practical moves to patch the holes and start making real progress.

Your report

A preview of what you'll walk away with

The moment you finish, AI David turns your answers into three things: a profile across all 7 traps, a clear status for each, and one specific action for every trap. Here is a sample.

Your take-action planOne specific commitment for each trap, grounded in the book. A sample of three:
The Busyness TrapSpotting
Say no to non-essential things, and narrow your focus to your top priorities.
"I will identify my top three priorities for the week and write them down by end of day today."
The Trigger TrapTrapped
Create a strategy to broaden your perspective.
"When a situation triggers a strong reaction, I will pause for one minute before responding and consider what the other person may be feeling."
The Settling TrapTrapologist
Do work across the four dimensions of a career: financials, ideas, passion, purpose.
"This month I will review my salary benchmark, pick one new skill to build, revisit a neglected interest, and reflect on my work's wider impact."
Outsmarting the 7 modern-day traps

The seven traps that keep good people stuck

Most workshops add to your already overwhelmed life. The Trapologist at Work™ framework does the opposite. It names the restraining forces holding you back, so you can remove them.

Trap 01

Busyness

Drowning in the thick of thin things.

Trap 02

Procrastination

Idling in the status quo.

Trap 03

Ego

Maintaining a façade of perfection.

Trap 04

Trigger

Allowing emotions to taint your perspective.

Trap 05

Silo

Operating as an independent on a team.

Trap 06

Settling

Losing passion and inspiration in your work.

Trap 07

Myopia

Failing to see the big picture.

Why it works

Patch the holes before you row harder

Picture your team in a boat, determined to reach its destination. But the boat has holes in it. The answer isn't rowing faster and harder, which only sinks you sooner.

The answer is to patch the holes first. Trapologist at Work identifies and patches the holes at work, the traps quietly draining your effort, so the rowing finally counts.

"It teaches the restraining forces keeping you from your goals, instead of piling more to-dos onto an already overwhelmed life."

Trap Tales by David M. R. Covey and Stephan M. Mardyks
The book behind the method

Built on Trap Tales

Trap Tales is a Triumph! Ken Blanchard, co-author of The New One Minute Manager

The Trapologist at Work framework is drawn from Trap Tales by David M. R. Covey and Stephan M. Mardyks, with a foreword by Stephen M. R. Covey, and refined through three years of studying human dynamics in the workplace. The diagnostic and AI David coach bring that thinking to you directly, applied to your own situation.
