SKILL DEVELOPMENT IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

Skill development is the focus of many professions— training, coaching, consulting, etc. People hire us so they can develop new skills, or enhance current level of skills, and even to replace old skills that have become redundant. So, what do you need to know about skill development in order to be as effective as you can be as a Meta-Coach, Trainer, and/or Consultant?

On the surface it seems simple. As a trainer you would explain how something works and then show them how it works. If you are a coach, you ask the person what they now know about the skill, how much of it they can do now, what stops them from performing it, why they want to learn that skill, etc. Then as either a trainer or coach, you walk a person step by step through the learning process.
