Doing It Wrong to Do It Right

Have you ever learned a new skill and did it perfectly the first time? Probably not... at least if it's a skill like learning a language, riding a bike or delegating to your team. Even though it is almost impossible to do something perfectly the first time, many of us still think we can do so. I see it in my coaching students - the desire to do coaching perfectly the first time they try it. To skip the hard steps of learning. To simply "know how" without any practice. The thing is, when we skip the hard part, the part where we get it wrong, then we are skipping the part that benefits us the most ---- the part where we grow. Getting it wrong allows us to grow and build resiliency. It builds our self-confidence. It is the key to achieving more goals in our life. So it's actually quite important. Maybe even more so than achieving the goal itself. In this episode I share how embracing the difficult parts of learning allows us to benefit most from it, and how you can start doing so even today.
