Episode Synopsis

Dear Listener,Massive, heroic victories come about as a result of enormous amounts of un-heroically plodding along...showing up and imperfectly getting it done ON A REGULAR BASIS. Let's create spaces in our day when we can be creative and/or learn. For the purposes of this season, it has to do with learning, for the most part.Authentic learning where concrete performance results are concerned is a constant exercise of do, fail, adjust, do, succeed, learn...do it all over again. As the great Tom Peters says: "Fail faster, succeed sooner." Effort - failure - adjustment - effort - learning. Wash, rinse, repeat. You must do this often enough so that a critical mass builds up, of the 4, and you push yourself to the other side of autonomy in communication. But you must repeat, repeat, repeat...consistently. That's where personal efficiency comes in. What do we mean by Efficient?Join us as we explore this and other concepts to help us overcome our own barriers and obstacles to mastering our target language!Yours in learning,Norman
