Training and Coaching

​

For me, training and coaching is more than just an act of passing on knowledge and experience; it's the most powerful technique I've discovered to learn anything deeply.

​

I've learned that even if I've done something for so long that I can do it in my sleep, it doesn't mean I actually understand it deeply.  When I first try to explain it to other people who don't have my experience, I find that it's hard to convey the my understanding in simple terms.

 

Every time someone asks me a question that I can't answer, or I start spinning around in circles trying to answer, it means there's something I need to learn.  The search for simpler ways to explain the things I know forces me to understand it more deeply.

 

Every time someone challenges me and I become defensive, it also indicates that there's something I need to learn.  The search for clearer language, better examples and analogies, and simpler and logically sound arguments that will convince the other person has so often resulted in me learning that I was wrong about something, and has always resulted in a richer and deeper learning and understanding for myself.
