We dive in for a workshop type format aimed at making a paradigm shift personal.  By exploring some examples, we find what it is and what it is not.  We identify parameters and factors brought by the individual that will add to the success of your  personal paradigm shift.  Greater focus in the design will produce greater success in the shift or movement along our course of action.

This is a workshop type application of the mechanism developed in Podcast 1 called Unrelenting Persistence.  This discussion is intended for chess players and specifically adult improvers.

Problem solving requires answers and ultimately solutions from a wide range of questions.  Chess players become obsessed with the best move in a variety of positions, but also must balance that with a good move, especially under time pressure.  All of us must balance deeply researched and tested universal answers with quick solution to our variation of a problem.  The answers we discover drive our decisions, influence  our behavior and ultimately contribute greatly to defining an individual at that point in time.  Whether defining black holes, or crafting a piece for a movie set, the individual needs to ask the right questions, heed time constraints and find solutions scientifically true and practically reached.  The skill of finding answer guides the wonder of discovery and keeps us to our course of action. 

Have you ever wondered how we train, learn and grow?  What if we could alter the overall approach or underlying assumptions thus creating a dramatic shift in our progress?  What are the components to make such an endeavor successful?

In the episode, we explore how persistence in our key areas of focus lead to an executive-type mechanism propelling us along a course of action.   Important parameters narrow the focus, incremental growth adds a vital component and new perspectives refuel progress along our journey.
