You know that line, āYou teach what you most need to learnā? Well, that hit meāhardāduring a session I ran last week.
This episode is about how I ran a workshop on observation skillsā¦ and completely failed to observe the most obvious thing in front of me that very morning. I tell the story of how I showed up early (classic me), spent half an hour meticulously setting up a roomāonly to realiseā¦ it was the wrong room. The right room was already beautifully prepped, with name tags, tea and coffeeā¦ and a big old sign. I just didnāt see it.
In this one, I talk about:
ā¢ The curse of knowledge (and how it gets in the way of being present)
ā¢ Why assumptions are sneaky little things
ā¢ How I turned a real-time fail into a perfect case study during the session
ā¢ The role of observation in coaching and leadership
ā¢ How to get out of your head and into the room (literally and figuratively)
Sometimes our best material shows up when we mess up.
