21 Day Practice of Capitalism – Day 16 – Deliberate Practice
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP
According to Malcom Gladwell’s book “Outliers” he shows how the extremely accomplished person in any field has spent at least 10,000 hours honing their craft. But they don’t stop there. Even after accomplishing the 10,000 hour requisite for mastery, it is imperative you focus on continually upgrading your skills in your mastery domain. Especially in today’s fast moving technology changes. One of my areas of mastery is teaching. And even though we never use Power Point presentations in Cheetah’s training courses because we have found the person who does the most learning is the one who creates the power point presentation, we do use power point for marketing presentations. For the next month several of my colleagues and I at Cheetah Learning are upgrading our marketing presentation skills by learning several extension products to power point. This also gives us a chance to share our unique expertise with each other in a deliberate and guided practice.
