As you know, Agile Living is about dissolving social labels, rules and restrictions and creating a multi-dimensional, flexible and resourceful mindset and lifestyle. It’s about welcoming variety, change and uncertainty, so that you can thrive and continually expand yourself and your life and create, experience and be more of what you love. So learning how to learn and change easily is a fundamental meta-skill that is central to Agile Living.
There are three places that people tend to get stuck when they’re trying to create what they love: Either they aren’t really clear on what they want to create, they don’t believe that they can create it, or they haven’t yet mastered the skills to successfully create it. A lot of the Bottom-lines I’ve featured have focused more on helping you to get clear on what you want to create, or helping you believe that you can create it. This Bottom-line addresses that third part – converting your clear dream and new-found confidence into competence. Because skill or competent action is what creates success. When you know how to learn and change easily, then you can develop and master competence at just about any of the skills required to make your dream a reality.
In the Bottom-line on The Talent Code, you’ll learn:
- The 3 dynamics that work together to create consistent levels of talent and excellence.
- How to practice so that you accelerate your skill development without putting in as many hours as other people are.
- How to ignite your motivation so that you have the emotional drive to stick with your practice even when the going is tough.
- Why it’s so important to struggle and make mistakes in your learning process and how to become more comfortable with making mistakes.
- What kind of work/ play/ practice environment best facilitates talent development (the answer is surprising!)
- How to spot a Master Coach, and how to develop the 6 skills of a Master Coach.
When you buy the Bottom-line on The Talent Code you’ll get:
- A 45min audio Bottom-line lecture, highlighting and explaining the best ideas and change tools from Daniel Coyle’s book, The Talent Code.
- A pdf manual including a transcript of the Bottom-line lecture so you can get a quick, easily accessible visual overview of the Bottom-line.
- A pdf Coaching Workbook with powerful coaching exercises to guide you (and your clients if you’re a coach) to apply these high-leverage ideas and get the results you want.
- A 45min audio recording of my interview with the author, Daniel Coyle.
- Email Coaching every other day, for 4 weeks, guiding you to consider 1 question or complete 1 task each day, to help you to stay focused and apply the ideas and change tools.
