HOW CAN I BECOME TRULY COMPETENT?

Competence is everything! Well, almost everything. It is certainly why, in Neuro-Semantics, we train, coach, consult, write, run practice groups, hold conferences, etc. We do so in order to enable ourselves and others to become competent at a whole variety of activities. From self- management to parenting, to wealth creation, to leadership, to health and wellness, to eating right, to sleeping soundly, etc., competence is our objective. We want people to become self- determining and have the self-efficacy to be competent in the things that they value.

When I say that competence is everything, I’m thinking about the following applications. Competence is the foundation of confidence. To be competent is to be confident and just about everybody wants that—who doesn’t want to feel confident in what you do and how you live? Consider the opposite: Confidence without competence means you are fooling yourself and trying to con others into thinking you have skills and you can do what you cannot do. The only way to feel truly and fully confident is to become competent. But that’s actually a lot harder and more complicated than most people image.
