Confidence LP

The main ideas from this information are: - Confidence, repetition, and practice are important for learning and improving skills. - Encourage individuals to practice on their own, whether it's in sales, customer service, or public speaking. - Relate practice to a specific learning project or goal. - Use examples like practicing speeches in front of a mirror to emphasize the importance of practice. - Encourage accountability and regular practice sessions to facilitate talent development. Now, confidence again, repetition and practice. Tie it to the learning project. So when you're meeting with your people, in between sessions, try to get them practicing on their own. Now again, it could be sales, customer service, public speaking, people can practice on their own. How often do we go back to our high school or our college years and we had a speech and we were taught to do what? Look in the mirror and practice. So when you practice, much like when I'm recording these audios right now, rarely, if ever, will you hear me do the ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, and clear my throat. Now, I've not had any formal training, yet I typically don't have a lot of ums or ahem, ahem, ahem, and clear my throat because of practice and repetition. So the way you tie that to the learning project is to say, Suzy, next month you have a great speech that you have the opportunity to give. One of the things I want you to do is every week, come in with two things that you did on your own, whether you practice in front of a mirror, whether you practice with a teammate, and how that's going to position you to have a successful presentation next month. Wherever you are coaching, whatever you're coaching to, ask them to practice on their own as a form of the learning project. Again, most people won't do it arbitrarily on their own. Most people will just show up and not put in the work. How often do we hate when professional athletes show up for Sunday's game, but they were out all week on the injured reserve, yet they play a great game. It makes you wonder, why didn't they practice during the week? Now, I get the injury thing, but it really gives you that notion of, are they putting in the practice? Are they putting in the time? When people put in the time and we can create an accountability action between coaching sessions that facilitate practice, talent development absolutely grows.
