ON THE FRONTIER: Frontiers of Psychotherapist Newsletter July'19.
Hi Folks on the Frontier,
I hope my US friends have had a good 4th of July.
Connect:
Practitioners from all over have been reaching out on a weekly basis to discuss about deliberate practice, interest in the taxonomy of deliberate practice worksheets that we have developed, reactions to our research and blogs, and about the first kiss book. What's also interesting is also the amount of students and newly minted therapists, who are beginning to challenge the status quo in our field. Personally, I am deeply grateful to have this opportunity to connect with people like you. Please keep the conversations going.
One-Year Anniversary
It's be exactly a year since The First Kiss was released. We are now awaiting from Audible and other distributors to finalise the audiobook version. Finger's crossed.
As 1st year celebration gift to you, I'm giving away the audiobook to first five Frontier members who drops me an email.
For this month's newsletter:
1. Recent articles (Plus stuff I've written for Psychotherapy.net);
2. Good reads, &
3. Chicago Deliberate Practice Workshop & Reigniting Clinical Supervision Batch #7 Launch is coming this Sept!
Read on.

The Myth Of The Bell Curve: Look For The Hyper-Performers
Does the real world of top human performance follow the bell curve? Evidence suggests it doesn't. This is something that we should be taught to understand, beginning at Statistics 101 class. (I also think that statistical thinking should be well taught to people, particularly to professionals in healthcare).
The Surprising Value of Obvious Insights
I got to admit, I'm deeply envious of author and organisational psychologist, Adam Grant. Highly prolific and wicked smart. Here's an article by Grant.
Love what you do in front of the kids in your life
Here's a blog by another writer I admire, Austin Kleon. He has kids around the same age as me, so I really appreciate his thoughts around parenting.
Drawing is the best way to learn, even if you’re no Leonardo da Vinci
Over the last 2 years, I've been obsessed with thinking by visuals, and using visuals to learn and communicate ideas. Here's a short article that talks about the use of drawing to think on paper.
(I'm developing a site that list my "TOP 10 BOOKS" in various categories. It's been a real challenge trying to distill them to 10, but stay tuned. I'm excited to share these soon)
“It's not enough to understand;
the other person has to feel understood.” ~ Magician, Brian Miller.
August is pilgrimage time. I get to be part of an important period of meeting like-minded and spirited practitioners around the world, gathered around in Chicago—thanks to Scott Miller—helping them raise the bar of their work.
The Deliberate Practice Intensive:

Still sitting on the fence?

This probably isn't the first time you heard about this course. We are already on the seventh inception of this in-depth training. If you are keen to join a band of deeply committed leaders in this field, drop me an email to be on our waitlist.
Limited Seats:
It sounds like BS when someone says that an online course has "limited space". I'm capping this to max 40 participants because I'm want to provide as much individual attention as I can to each learner. We already have registrants before this announcement is made.
Plus, I'm providing a follow-up consult with each person, AT NO COST to you.
