In this episode we are talking about the Dunning-Kruger effect. You can find an image of it (which I try to explain) here: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach-blog/where-are-you-on-the-dunning-kruger-wiggle/

You can also find some more information on it here: https://www.verywellmind.com/an-overview-of-the-dunning-kruger-effect-4160740

To help combat this, we have to:

Manage expectations

Provide follow up using coaching or Micro learning 

Help those that feel the effects of imposter syndrome

In today's episode we talk feedback

3 main types of feedback:

Appreciation - this is all about building relationships (saying thanks)

Coaching - this is about guiding, finding better ways to do things (see previous episode lets talk coaching)

Evaluation - this is where you stand, what you do well, what you need to improve.

Formative is throughout

Summative is at the end.

What makes great feedback?

Its specific, timely, meaningful and candid.

Receiving feedback:

You need to listen, this means not interrupting

Your responses need to be measured, if face to face be aware of your body language.

Be open to the feedback

Understand the message, if you don’t, ask.

Reflect on what has been said, and decide what to do.

Follow up. Have I made any improvement.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to seeing you in the next episode.

In today's episode we take a look at coaching. 

I am joined by guest Scott McNeil who works in the world of Sport, and has some fantastic insight into what being a coach means. 

If you have any feedback on this episode, or would like to submit a suggestion, please email [email protected], we look forward to your thoughts. 

In today's episode we are talking the importance of evaluations. Some of the methods of collecting them, and how metrics apply to evaluations. Talking from a training delivery point of view, I talk about, for me, what is the best evaluation question to ask, and go into why. 

Also, for some feedback from everyone, I have created an email account where, if you feel willing to, you can send me some feedback on the podcast.

Thanks for listening folks. 

This episode is all about material options available and delivery of the material. We talk a little about designing the material, as well as different delivery methods. 

In the last episode we talked about the system approach to training. In this episode we are looking at how it can be applied to you.
