Without clarity of direction, we wouldn’t know if our efforts amount to much. It’s like rolling a bowling ball towards the 10-pin covered by a veil. You can only hazard a guess for a strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

More problematic, while we are trying to sort out which way to “go” in our professional development efforts, most of us don’t even know where we are <\/span>to begin with.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Try giving directions to someone without knowing where they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was in the army (a 2.5yr mandatory service for all males), we had to go through a topography\/navigation course. Basically, they taught us a bunch of stuff while we were half-asleep from exhaustion, and then the officers took us into the jungle to flex our skills. Armed with a bottle of water (and other unnecessary weaponry), a complicated topographic map and a compass, we were\u00a0given the following mission: Get from point A to Z before sundown. Much to my embarrassment, I didn’t know how to use a map with a compass! I knew where’s North from here…but where the heck am I?<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to know which way to go, we need to know where you are at. And when someone needs direction, don’t give the person a map. Our field is infamous for giving people all kinds of maps. Teach a person how to navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n

~~~<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have your fingers on the pulse, you’d know that there’s been a rise on the topic of deliberate practice<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in psychotherapy. This may be a good thing. But I worry that supervisors and therapists alike might think that all they got to do is “deliberate practice” in the specific models that they are aligned with. Worse, I worry that DP becomes another “silver bullet” method.<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is, when we surveyed therapists, many admittedly feel embarrassed for not knowing what to do in order to improve<\/strong>. There isn’t one<\/em> map for deliberate practice. In a sense, we need to learn to be cartographers, and shape our professional development landscape, based on our personal learning needs. It takes a certain fierceness and focus to confront this reality, and move towards the pathway of professional development<\/a><\/span> with compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n

To get to point A to Z, the most important step is to figure out how to get from Point A to B. And what’s that? That’s to ask ourselves some important and personal questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

“How do I begin to measure my effectiveness?”<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“How effective am I?”\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“What does my current baseline hint at what I need to do to get better?”<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Begin with these questions with you and your supervisees. This is a good place to begin your deliberate practice plan.<\/span><\/p>\n
