Deliberate Practice
Deliberate Practice is a structured way of learning through experience.
You don't rely on a textbook, or a 'sage on the stage' trainer.
Instead you use feedback and intentionally target your performance gaps. That means using your initiative and stepping outside your comfort zone.
It's the best way I know for systematically improving capabilities.
Don't just rely on repetition. Aim for personal growth.
The photo shows my baking results in 2015.
Not terrible but certainly not great either.
I was determined to improve.
And the contrasting result from this morning.
My March 2026 loaf is a significant improvement.
Yet, I won't settle. I want it better. I have a goal in mind.
Deliberate practice.
Driven by you - the practitioner.
Supported by a mentor's feedback.
As a business developer / consultant where do you want to improve?
