Getting Those Skills (Fast)
1 We show you how to do a thing.
2 You practice it and make some notes.
3 You show your trainer that you own it.
4 You start delivering it to clients.
5 We show you how to do the next thing, and so on.
Don’t skip the journal/ debrief.
By themselves, mistakes are just mistakes. But when you debrief the experience (preferably with a buddy), you turn mistakes into learning, and learning is winning, and around here we celebrate all wins. When you put it that way, failure’s not even a thing. It’s all wins.
Always take a few minutes to debrief with a partner and journal your discoveries. Discuss questions, take pictures, chart your progress. Resolve challenges with your trainer. Wins on wins on wins.
mistakes ➡️ learning ➡️ winning

Journal/ Debrief
- Tap the image to download and print a copy of the journal sheet. Print some extras so they’re handy.
- Write down any questions you have so far. Make this a habit.
- Sit with your trainer or the lead educator to resolve your questions.
- Keep your journal sheets and photos to chart your progress. Future You will love you for it.
Once you’ve had a chance to practice and get feedback, you’ll be itching to show off your skills. Schedule your assessment with your trainer, show up prepared, and knock it out of the park. A passing score means you are qualified to start performing that service for clients immediately.
