Chances are if you're listening to this that you are wanting to learn how to be more effective as a leader with people and many other things in your professional work.

It turns out there are better ways to learn faster on today's show 10 ways to learn faster from a unique perspective

that will get us all thinking on how to develop new skills.

This is coaching for leaders episode 205.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. all. Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is coaching for leaders, and I'm your host, Dave Stahoviac.

Yes, you can lead, and this weekly show at the intersection of business

and education will help you to do exactly that. And if you've listened to this show for

any length of time, you know that I am a big believer in learning, learning new things, learning new skills, and that really is the call for all of us as leaders.

If we want to lead an influence, we need to be able to learn new skills and we can

learn how to make education easy but real learning actually isn't easy in fact fact it's a struggle most of the time. And today I'm

bringing a conversation to you that I think will be really helpful to all of us.

It's certainly been something I've been thinking about

over the last three to four months

because I've been working on learning a new skill

and it's not a new skill that I'm good at.

It's one that I have to work hard at and that is learning how to play the guitar. And my guitar instructor, Randy Wilhite and I, were talking just a few weeks ago and I thought that it would be really interesting for us to take a look at learning a new skill like guitar

but more importantly to look at some of the principles that come around with learning something new like guitar, but really are applicable

for just about any skill, and to talk about how we can learn from them in order to become

more effective.

And so I am really thrilled to be able to welcome Randy here to the show.

Randy, welcome to coaching for leaders.
