DELIBERATE PRACTICE

I’m taking a break from my Self-Actualisation series in this reflection. Why? Because I’ve been reading the new book from Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool; Peak, Secrets from the New Science of Expertise. It’s only just been published and my pre-ordered copy arrived a few weeks ago.

Ericsson is considered by many to be the world’s foremost expert on ‘expertise’ and many of you will have heard the infamous generalisations from his work regarding the ’10,000 hour rule’ for becoming an expert in any field. The subject of the book is deliberate practice. Whilst reading it, it occurs to me that we in Neuro-Semantics have been using the precise principles Ericsson details to train coaches and trainers for years. Which is why NSTT and ACMC really are the premium standard trainings in the NLP field today.
