Master a New Skill in 30 Days

In today´s episode of the ‘Professional Success Podcast’, host Sheila Boysen-Rotelli, a Master Certified Career Coach, Recruiter, and Talent Development Leader is talking about five simple steps that we can take to master a new skill in just 30 days. This involves developing a 30-day program using incremental bite-sized progress steps.

3 Key Points:

1.     The first step is to identify the key elements to master.Start by finding the most important components of a skill, the basics that underlie everything else.

2.     The second step would be to grab a blank calendar and design a 30-day challenge for yourself to practice the foundational skills. Decide how much time you'll do each day learning, and then write down 30 incremental things you’ll do each day to move along the learning curve. Each day you should focus on just one new skill but those skills combined should add up to real progress.

3.     Brains learn best when they can focus on a problem. During your practice, deliberately choose one thing to master and put your attention there. Each day of the challenge should push you a little past your current skill level. You don't need to practice the same elements of a skill every day.
