How learning to train helps you in other aspects of your life?

 

‘Learning to train’ others has a huge impact in the way we grow and progress through life.

This is first in the series where we, at Myndscope, would like to create an awareness on ‘How learning to train helps you in other aspects of your life?’

The first is Your mindset:

When you learn to train, you are on a path to keeping yourself out of your comfort zone for a greater degree of time. This, in turn, keeps your mind agile and alert. Not only do you learn to think on your feet, and ironically, your mind also learns how to prepare better before going into the ‘ring’. You are seen something of a ‘Subject Matter Expert’ so you are spurred to keep yourself upgraded on your area of expertise all the time. This could also reflect on areas not connected to your expertise, as you become very adept at doing research and analysis on whatever task you take up. Your mind automatically attracts information which you seek.



 

At Your physiological level :

On a physiological level, learning new things is good for your brain and your learning increases when you train others. According to most Health experts, the density of the white matter in your brain which is also called the ‘myelin’ increases when you practice or teach new skills and that helps improve performance on a number of tasks.

Additionally, every new skill you learn or teach stimulates neurons in the brain, which in turn form more neural pathways and allow electrical impulses to travel faster across them. These combinations help you to become better at everything you do. In fact, these can even help you forestalling dementia.

THE FEARLESS ORGANIZATION (Part 1) - Importance of Psychological Safety

-

Image source: HR Magazine Haven’t we all been in a situation where we were scared of being perceived as stupid and have therefore held back our opinions and ideas – especially at school or work? This seems to be a painfully common as well as natural phenomenon, simply because whatever you say is constantly under scrutiny by everyone else. Studies show that people frequently hold back even when they think what they have to say could be extremely important for the organization. What more, people often regret being silent and this results in unreported problems, missed opportunities and tragedies that could have been easily avoided. But imagine being in a setting where all your ideas are welcome, you feel safe to take risks and ask questions sans judgement. An environment wherein the employees are allowed to let their guard down so that speaking is enabled and even expected– is called psychological safety. Google conducted a large-scale research called Project Aristotle to f...

BRAND ME - What's does your personal brand say?

" Bhaiya  (brother)   one pack  Pampers  please " - a simple request I heard from a customer standing next to me at a departmental store, to the shopkeeper.  Almost spontaneously, the shopkeeper asked... " which Pampers ?" To which the customer said, " XYZ   (not mentioning the actual brand name here)   Pampers  please". And very quickly the shopkeeper pulled out a pack of diapers of a different brand, to hand it over to the customer. I then made my purchases at the store and strolled down the lane on my way home, pondering over this little interaction between the customer and the shopkeeper.  The customer brought a diaper of a different brand, while the diaper itself was referred to, by a different brand name! Since when did  Pampers mean DIAPERS ?  I wasn't sure if this was absurd or just simply brilliant! A common noun replaced by a proper noun, as my English teacher would have said it! The thought was still running in my mind, a...

WHAT MAKES AN ORGANIZATION, 'FLOW'?

Remember the time when you were so engrossed in activity that you forgot the existence of the world around you? Like when you lost track of time while reading a book, when you were playing that video game and forgot to eat, or when you were so absorbed in a sport that afterward you couldn’t really remember the details? Well there is a word for it – Flow! Flow means being so involved in a task that nothing else matters. The doer when in a state of ‘flow’, also known as the zone, finds the task at hand enjoyable and relatively effortless as if every action arises seamlessly from the last. And what more, when you are in the zone, you over(flow) with productivity! The concept of flow was introduced by positive psychologist Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi (me-hi chick-sent-me-hi) who was a prisoner in World War 2 and witnessed a lot of suffering. This sparked curiosity in him about what makes people happy. He concluded that happiness is an internal state that takes committed effort and can...
