Over the past two years, I'm finding a common theme about people performing what they've learned. I've noticed that people are employing techniques when I tell them to. They end up with a strong sound. When it's time to do it on their own, it's as if nothing was retained. Clients get used to having to be corrected.
Combating this is a huge part of the training. There's a split second between me giving direction and the client's execution. In that time, the person forgets and goes right back to the old way. Quality of service is important, and in order to benefit from it, conscious awareness is key.
Focused attention is critical to success. This doesn't just apply to the training. Clients must use what is taught in their daily lives. Our voices are always with us. We don't have the inconvenience of carrying an instrument around, as our voices are the instruments. But not using the techniques makes the time and financial spend useless. And people stay right where they are.
A deeper level of focus is required. It's not your typical day to day paying attention type of focus. I'm now devising focus exercises to force the brain to slow down. One of the ways I'm doing this is by pattern interuption and redirection. I also use visualization techniques. The goal is to slow the brain down to fill in the split second between receiving direction and following it.
Change...that's what it's about. To achieve it, we must change permanently. What's your opinion?
