Practice Makes Performance: Turning Learning Into Habit - Raw Talent


Listen Later

In this episode, Jackson and Anderson tackle why so much professional development doesn't stick. They unpack the gap between feeling inspired in a session and actually changing behavior back on the job, and why the real problem is often a lack of practice, reflection, and feedback after the fact. The conversation gets into what managers should be doing in the weeks following a development experience, why role play matters even when it feels awkward, and how real-time feedback beats a quarterly review every time. The episode lands on a simple but powerful framework: reps, reflection, and feedback are the trio that makes learning stick.

Key Takeaways:

  • If people leave a development session feeling great but don't change behavior, it was entertainment, not development.
  • The biggest enemy of new habits is the pressure of day-to-day work pulling people back to their defaults.
  • Managers should be asking "what are you doing differently?" in one-on-ones and coming prepared with their own observations.
  • Feedback should be generative and ongoing, not a grade delivered once a quarter.
