How to Develop a New Skill

Path for Growth

A key part of getting better at something is making the intentional choice to build that skill. In this episode, Alex talks with Ben about a 4-part framework for developing new skills, from accessing information, to seeing the skill represented, to taking action, to receiving feedback. Whether you’re looking to improve at a hobby, train up new team members, or strengthen your relationships, this framework can help you grow intentionally and efficiently.

Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.

Episode Recap:

• What’s one skill you’re learning right now?
• There’s a difference between just doing something and intentionally focusing on skill building.
• Your language reflects your belief: Wishes and wants are not the same!
• Information: How can too much or too little information impede skill building?
• You must be willing to be bad at things in the pursuit of getting better.
• Representation: Why does demonstration beat explanation?
• Action: How can you effectively move from learning about a skill to doing the skill?
• Feedback: Why is the ability to teach an important part of skill building?
• Most people regret things they didn’t do more than things they did do.
