<\/a><\/p>\nIf you are congratulations!<\/p>\n
Do you think I\u2019m crazy?
\nYou might be partially right, but that is another story\u2026<\/p>\n
As far as congratulating you on being a conscious incompetent, I\u2019m perfectly sane, because this means that you\u00a0are aware of the areas you need to develop to become a more fulfilled person.<\/p>\n
Initially described as \u2018Four Stages for Learning Any New Skill\u2019, the learning model developed by Noel Burch (The\u00a0Gordon Training International) suggests that individuals are initially unaware of how little they know.
\nThey don\u2019t know what they don\u2019t know so they are in a state of unconscious incompetence.<\/p>\n
Before they can move to the next stage they must become aware of their own \u2018incompetence\u2019 or ignorance, and\u00a0understand the value of the new skill. That is why they evolve to the stage of conscious incompetence.<\/p>\n
Once they recognize their need to learn, they consciously acquire a skill and start to consciously use it.
\nThey now know how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration.
\nThis is the stage of conscious competence.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take the example learning to dance salsa, for instance.
\nSalsa is a dance that has its origins in Cuba and is generally associated with the salsa music style, although it can\u00a0be danced to any 8-count rhythm music.<\/p>\n
