Frontiers Friday #63. See What You Hear, Hear What You See (Part I)
In this week's installment, I thought I'd share some sketches that I've been making.
If you see the materials in the course Deep Learner and in our book Better Results, we've taken an approach to sketching other images ourselves. It's nowhere near perfect--but I guess that's the idea.
A few years ago, I began to obsess with how to covey not-so-straightforward ideas using sketchnoting. After reading Understand How We Learn by Weinstein, Sumaracki and Caviglioli and Stop Talking, and Start Influencing by Jared C Horvath, I was convinced that I had to doodle a bit more.
Based on the Dual-coding theory, there are two independent pathways that we neurologically encode information. This is called the visiospatial sketchpad (i.e., visual) and the phonological loop (i.e., spoken words and written words). Incidentally, this is why when you are trying to listening to a talking head in a presentation, and trying to read a text-heavy slide, it seems hard to focus. In this instance, the phonological pathway is overly taxed.
In this series of Frontiers Friday, I'd share some of this sketch notes that I've been playing around with. If you've been to some of my trainings before, a few would be familiar to you.
🗣 Which Type of Learner Are You?
Which pattern of learning do we get sucked into becoming?
And which of the 4 patterns of learning resembles mastery learning?
If you missed this keynote, The Edge and Leverages of Deliberate Practice, I've talked briefly about this at the end of the talk.
Four Levels in Your Professional Development Journey
Hazard a guess:
At which level do majority of practitioners face challenges that stop them from real development? (*see answer below)
Two Ways to Influence Client Outcome
vs.
Two Questions:
i. Do you know what are the key factors that are predictive of improving client outcomes?
ii. And based on your current performance, what are the factors that are influenceable in leveraging outcomes?
Leverage point is a critical step in using deliberate practice to improve your outcomes. We tackle this issue heads on in our upcoming Deliberate Practice Web-Based Workshop. More info below.
"Are You Experienced?"
We must do our best to counteract the redline. See this post, 6 Visuals About Our Progress.
⏸ Words Image Worth Contemplating:
The art of losing control
Reflection: The next time you are in the shower, sing your troubles for 5 mins--without stopping. Don't stop, don't censor, don't judge. (notice how a critical side might creep in "I'm crazy...I can't sing..I'm out of tune...") ...and Just sing it away anyway. After you have done so, what can you graft from this little experiment? (footnote: I stole this idea from one of my favorite improvisational singers, Bobby Mcferrin.)
