With the recent discussion of mastery in these messages, you need to know about the book of the same title written by George Leonard. I was first introduced to this little gem of a book and the keys to mastery in 2011 when I took a “master class” on coaching.
In the book, Mr. Leonard identifies the Five Master Keys to Mastery:
- Instruction – the coach and other forms of instructions such as reading, video, etc.
- Practice – the verb and the noun
- Surrender – to the instruction and demands of the discipline and of your own proficiency at times
- Intentionality – visualization and holding the vision
- The Edge – willingness to challenge previous limits, take a risk for higher performance
Do you hold the keys to Mastery?
Are you ready to unlock your potential and begin the journey? Follow along for the next few weeks as I share stories and examples of the keys outlined in Mr. Leonard’s book.
