<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hope you are having a great week so far.<\/p>\n
Last week\u2019s thought was; \u201cYour Inner Animal Wisdom<\/em>\u201d about how we can learn more about ourselves by thinking of an animal whose characteristics are most like our own. You can see this and all of my previous blogs\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n If you did the exercise I mentioned, I\u2019d love to know how you got on, so drop me a line!<\/p>\n Leading on from last week\u2019s thought, what other situations have come about where you have learned more about yourself and your own communication style?<\/p>\n The thing is; these days we are so busy aren\u2019t we that we can miss the opportunity, so it passes us by unnoticed. It\u2019s only when we have to stop in our tracks and take note that we have the chance to pick up on it!<\/p>\n Some may keep a journal or make notes in other ways. Personally, I have learned to make a mental note and store anything important digitally. I also write my weekly blog after processing things that have come up over the week.<\/p>\n When I run courses and talk about how we learn, I often use the metaphor of learning to drive or ride a bike. At the beginning, we thought it was easy, for instance watching our parents driving when we were a kid, it looked so easy didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n That stage of learning is called \u201cUnconscious Incompetence<\/em>\u201d. That doesn\u2019t sound very flattering does it, but it is of course a psychological term! Simply put; We don\u2019t know what we don\u2019t know<\/em>.<\/p>\n Then when we get on a bike for the first time, or have our first driving lesson, we realise there is so much more to this thing! (\u201cConscious Incompetence\u201d), <\/em>we realise that we don\u2019t<\/u><\/em> know how to do it. We concentrate on every little stage, starting up, changing gears, highway code and all that.<\/p>\n Then when we start getting the hang of it, this is called \u201cConscious Competence\u201d \u2013 <\/em>we know what to do now and that we can<\/u><\/em> do it. And this stage is critical. Why?<\/p>\n Because it\u2019s only through repetition and practice that we really instil this knowledge onto our consciousness, so it then permeates into our sub-conscience and becomes automatic. Like when we learned to walk.<\/p>\n So, when we\u2019re driving and have reached that last stage, we realise that sometimes we have travelled from A to B and don\u2019t remember the journey, or changing gear etc. because the whole thing has become so automatic! I\u2019m sure you can relate to that!<\/p>\n This whole process is called \u201cThe Learning Journey\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe more you learn, the more you realise how much you don\u2019t know\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n -Aristotle-<\/span><\/p>\n So, learning how to communicate is no different. We have learned to communicate the way we do now and how\u2019s that working for you?<\/p>\n If you, or someone you know, would like to explore this with me, why not book a\u00a0Complimentary Communication Mastery\u00a0Call<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>with me? I can confidently guarantee that you will leave this call with more clarity and insight.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be in touch again soon with more thoughts and tips!<\/p>\n With best wishes for your success,<\/p>\n Thrive Coaching & Training<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Empowering you to Thrive!<\/em><\/p>\n P.S. <\/em>\u00a0The next available\u00a0Communication Code<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Group Coaching Programme starts on the 19th\u00a0October!
