0:00.0	In the work that I do, there's a big difference between learning and performance.
0:04.0	And the idea is that sometimes you're engaged in activities where performance and learning are, they're couple.
0:10.2	They're very tightly coupled.
0:11.2	So, for example, experts in the zone.
0:13.2	You know, you see them performing really well, and they're taking on tough challenges, and they're learning.
0:17.4	But there are also cases where performance initially suffers, but you're doing something,
0:22.4	you're struggling with something, you're potentially even failing, but there's the locus of deep
0:26.4	learning is right there, right? So the performance and learning are not always aligned. You can think of them
0:32.2	as orthogonal vectors. And you asked about the mindset, right, is to not always conflate performance with learning.
0:39.8	Because sometimes if you take on tough challenges, like a tough negotiate, like a tough challenging
0:45.0	conversation, know that going in that your learning and performance may not be aligned.
0:49.9	In fact, you may not perform very well, but that experience of taking on that challenge,
0:56.2	of putting yourself in that zone where your performance might suffer, actually creates the
1:01.9	conditions.
1:02.7	This is what the science of productive energy says.
1:04.8	It creates the necessary conditions for you to then learn from.
1:09.3	So I guess the message to people is, whichever situation
1:13.0	you're going into, try to think about this learning, not contributing learning with performance,
1:17.9	because there's always a chance that productive failure might be at work and work for you.
1:23.7	Hey, I'm Kwame Christian, and you are about to step into the world of Negotiate Anything,
