There’s a big difference between what’s right and what’s right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why deliberate practice (DP) is not a cookie cutter approach, but it is highly individualised. <\/p>\n\n\n

Figuring out what’s right for your professional development requires us to ask ourselves 3 basic questions: “What-to,” “How-to,” and “When-to.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. “What-To”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “What-to” question is about the content goal. What should I work on that has leverage on improving my outcome? (For more on Leverage, see this keynote<\/a> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many things one can be working on, but in order to be in good use of our time and effort that actually translate our learnings into better client outcomes, we need to figure out the “what” before the “how”<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the “What-to” question makes one big assumption, that you know where you are. In other words, you know your baseline performance. Take the time to figure out where you are before where you need to go<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. “How-To”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “How-to” question is about the process of how you learn. How do I optimise the way I learn? How do I take notes and reflect in a way to synthesises my current and past learnings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9. A Hidden Discipline That Will Extend Your Mind: Develop a Personalised Learning System (PLS)<\/a><\/h4>

I believe one of the most critical things you can do is to create a personalised learning system (PLS). Though the payoff is not immediate, but like growing a seed, the benefit is tremendous, especially if you value personal and professional development.<\/p><\/blockquote>
