I was recently looking at some of my old blog posts. A few of them made me cringe and I was tempted to delete a few of them. I then realized how stupid that was. If anything, they are reflective of my writing journey.
Have you ever had someone tell you that you can do better after you turned in a job or after a performance?
The first question that comes to mind when this happens is — what is better? How is it possible for someone to say we can do better? Are they able to see something that we can’t?
There are probably two reasons for someone telling us that:
a) They are able to see that we’re capable of better, that we’re not doing our best
b) They have seen us do better before and are drawing a comparison
Sometimes, we don’t know better. Either we haven’t observed someone is who is doing it better than us or we genuinely don’t know how to make something better.
We all have these moments of epiphany where someone taught us a hack, a short-cut, a process, a method that took us to the next level.
Better comes from practice and experience.
It comes from effective leadership and coaching.
It comes from wanting to get better.
To make anything better, you first need to define what that ‘better’ will look like.
You can get better at anything if you wish to.
