So you just finished an amazing course or certification. Great!
Now you need to figure out how to apply your new skills with your clients.
In this episode, Brett and Mike give some simple and effective tips and advice on how to take the new information you learn from a certification or workshop and apply your new skills with clients on Monday morning.
Certification weekends can be incredibly powerful and even career changing. (Side note: Mike Perry and Eric D’agati have a live Principles of Program Design course coming up in Providence Rhode Island this fall! Learn more.)
Just keep in mind there are some dos and don’ts when it comes to applying your new skills.
When you’re excited after an amazing course or weekend, it’s temping to jump right into the next one, but we recommend taking a deep breath first.
Practice using your new skills. Digest the information. Test things out. Ask questions. Get feedback. Keep learning. Don’t rush into the next certification or course before practicing and applying your newly acquired skills.
Oh, and, be careful you’re not giving way more information to your clients than they need to know and overwhelming them. Make sure the skills you’re using actually apply to your individual client’s (or group) goals before you start implementing the new information with everyone simply because you’re excited about it. Always remember to keep your client’s goal the goal.
If you are wondering how to strategically apply your new skills after taking courses and certifications, tune into the latest episode of the MED podcast.
