đ˛ If someone thought they could learn to swim just by reading a book, they would be in for an unpleasant surprise when they jumped in the deep end.
đ As far as LEARNABILITY goes, reading is just the first âchapterâ - if youâll allow the metaphor. After youâve read about new ideas, you have to try them out by deliberately playing, experimenting and testing them until you find a way to establish them into your successful skills set.
â No matter how tempting, you canât skip these chapters of practice. You canât jump from chapter 1: Reading to chapter 10: Mastery. Learning just doesnât work like that.
đĽ The sad part is many potential experts read a book and leave it at that. They donât move onto the next step which involves selecting small specific behavioural changes and trying them out under controlled circumstances.
I say controlled circumstances because when we first try to do something challenging, the first few times we will most likely fail.
𤚠If youâre sceptical about this, ask a juggler how many balls they dropped during their first practice!
âĄď¸ So my question for you today is what LEARNABILITY chapter are you on? In what way will you be stretching yourself this week? Trying out a new sales technique? A new leadership style?
Or are you going to stay on chapter one and just keep to the shallow end?
