Prepare

As you follow the steps by Ericsson for deliberate practice, here are some suggestions that can you get started:

1. Define

• Define success criteria, and ask, “What do I need to learn to get there?”

2. Pace

• Go slow. Give enough time to each improvement, no matter how small

• Stick to a routine. Schedule sessions in advance

• Limit sessions to a reasonable time to ensure maximum focus

3. Feedback

• What gets measured, gets improved. Track even the smallest changes

• Get feedback and external perspective from coach or colleagues

• Plan, reflect, and take notes. In each session, see what worked and what didn’t
