**Cheronda Duncan** is a certified health and wellness coach and the creator of the Autopilot Habit System, a behavior-design method developed over a decade of coaching individuals through sustainable lifestyle change. After years of watching motivated clients struggle against the limits of willpower — and experiencing those same struggles herself — Duncan became convinced that lasting health was not a matter of discipline but of design. Her work focuses on a simple question: how do you arrange your environment, routines, and identity so that healthy choices become the default?
Duncan has designed and delivered corporate wellness programs for organizations ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, leading workshops on stress management, sleep hygiene, and sustainable habit formation for thousands of employees. She has also developed habit-based curricula used by community health organizations and coached private clients one-on-one, with a particular focus on busy professionals, new parents, and anyone in the midst of a major life transition.
Her coaching philosophy is evidence-based and refreshingly practical: no extreme protocols, no all-or-nothing mandates, no moral weight attached to a missed day. Instead, she teaches people to make their habits smaller, their cues more dependable, and their environments more honest.
