Do you know WHY having FUN makes your GROW faster?
Today my son, Sieb sent me a video with something he is proud of. I am currently abroad, so he couldn't show me his latest achievement in person. In the video, he showed me his newfound skill, the so-called 'side flip' and 'back flip'. What a star! Check it out in this video.
What has a 12-year-old kid doing a side flip got to do with leadership fitness?
Last week I followed a masterclass about what is needed to increase the odds of lasting growth, based on solid scientific research. This masterclass was given by Ben Tiggelaar.
Ben is a practical behavioral scientist based in the Netherlands. Over the years he has studied all the major global scientists working in the area of behavioral change and uses only the practical insights from meta-studies in his books and seminars.
Here are 10 BULLETS POINTS I jotted down during the 2 days masterclass
Back to my son Sieb and his 'flips'. Sieb had a very clear image of what he wanted to learn, i.e. 2 different 'flips' (FOCUS). He was motivated and had FUN in the process, although the PRACTICE was difficult, he sometimes experienced PAIN, which taught him to adapt. It took him appr. 6 months to learn (PERIOD). He didn't have a deadline. He recorded his moves at least once a week and studied the video (Self-MONITORING).
Bottom line: he focused his INTENTION and his ATTENTION for an extended period of time, in the end, he acquired a new skill which he is proud of (and his daddy too ...)
... Interesting? Do you have an intention? And want us to help you keep your attention fixed and aligned for a fixed period of time?
