What Ladder are You Climbing?
Have you ever had the wonderful experience of trying something relatively new to you and learning very quickly how inadequate you feel?
Who knew that playing dodge ball or dunking a basketball on a series of trampolines could be so incredibly challenging?!
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that, as I try to use a new skill, I am clearly starting at the very bottom rung of The Conscious Competence Ladder - sometimes called the 4 stages of Learning Model. As coaches we often used this model to support leaders as they acquire new skills.
In psychology, the four stages of competence relate to the psychological states involved in the process of progressing from incompetence to competence in a skill. As I was reminded at the trampoline park, it's happening to us and around us all the time. In other words, we all end up on the ladder periodically.

4 Ways to Stay Fresh...
1. Share your most powerful tools, your stories! Listen in to an interesting Boiling Point Podcast where Dan Martell tells us how a turbulent upbringing came to a head and made him change the way he was living his life and why he jumps into things head first.
2. Are you a leader worth following? Join 500+ other NB leaders for one of the world's largest Leadership conferences broadcast in Moncton on Tuesday May 10th, 2016. Visit www.leadercastmoncton.com for the list of world renowned speakers and other details. Event has sold out 4 years in a row.
3. You only have until March 31st to connect a high growth potential entrepreneur to the WMI Entrepreneurial Leaders Program. Visit wallacemccaininstitute.com/elp for details about the program.
4. Another good read from The Globe & Mail: To excel as a leader, you must self-evaluate by Bill Howatt. Leadership development most likely will continue to be a hot human resources topic in 2016, as many organizations are committed to attracting and developing leaders. Total spending on training in North America is estimated at $2.6 billion annually.
