Frontiers Friday #47. Deliberate Practice (Part I)
In the next few weeks, I'd be sharing a bunch of recommendations relevant to a topic that Scott Miller and I have been obsessing about for over a decade: Deliberate Practice.
From My Desk (Archive): 10 Things to Avoid in Deliberate Practice
I think clearer when I flip things around. While this particular blog was written in early 2018, in my estimates. the "10 Things" listed still seem to be relevant.
Web-Read: A Practitioner Shares His Journey
Jimmy Murphy, a reader of Frontiers wrote to me after completing our book Better Results.
He wants to level up his efforts. He decided to share his journey on his blog.
It's really inspiring to learn about practitioners who are doggedly committed to play the long game of serving their clients better. I'm hoping to start interviewing therapists from all over the world and learn from their experience--and share them with you on our podcast. Stay tuned. (Hat Tip Jimmy!)
Watch: Behind-The-Scenes of the Making of Better Results
In Part I this live webinar recording, Scott Miller and I talked about the genesis of the book and the (painful) behind-the-scenes of writing across up-side down timezones.
Watch: Getting Started With Deliberate Practice
In Part 2 of the live webinar, we addressed the topic about how to get started with deliberate practice, spending a fair bit of time on how to establishing your baseline performance level, and how to identify random vs "non-random" errors.
Words Worth Contemplating:
"Comparison is the thief of joy when applied broadly, but the teacher of skills when applied narrowly." ~ James Clear, author of Atomic Habits
Reflection:
What can you do to make the hard things easy, and the "easy" things more difficult?
Deliberate Practice Web-Based Workshop
