Practice makes perfect, but, what exactly are you perfecting? Educator Staci K. Haines and leadership coach Ng’ethe Maina unpack the right and wrong ways to practice a new skill or behavior. They reveal how to stop practicing negative behaviors and bring the value of practice to the forefront of personal growth for individuals or business groups. getAbstract recommends their article to managers interested in creating positive change in their company’s workforce and to people interested in efficient new skill acquisition.

Take-Aways

If you want to change something in your life – for example, getting better at household chores, playing the guitar or being more mindful – you have to practice.
“Default practices” are learned behaviors from past experiences, which can be in direct conflict with your current values.
“Intentional practices” are choices you make based on your ideology. They fit with the answers to the questions: “What matters to me?” “What do I care about?” and “What am I committed to?”
