Buy The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning. 5. Training & Development For Dummies by Elaine Biech

Doing things alone is all very well and good, but having a coach, master, or mentor helps us achieve greatness through learning and inspiration. On the one hand you have deep practice, and on the other, you have passion. A coach often bridges the gap between the two. Some coaches straddle the line between passion and discipline, while others choose to focus on either passion or technical skills.Lastly, to fix mistakes, you have to spot them. That is easiest when you chunk down your practice into its smallest, possible units. Coyle is a sports writer proposing a theory that he masquerades as science, but it's mostly pop-psychology BS. It's sad that this nonsense is published, sadder that people buy into it. Each time you repeat the task successfully another thin layer of myelin is added to the involving circuits, making you even faster and better. Buy The Art and Science of Training. 8. Telling Ain’t Training by Harold D. Stolovitch and Erica J. Keeps

This is a remarkable—even inspiring—book. Daniel Coyle has woven observations from brain research, behavioral research, and real-world training into a conceptual tapestry of genuine importance. What emerges is both a testament to the remarkable potential we all have to learn and perform and an indictment of any idea that our individual capacities and limitations are fixed at birth.” —Dr. Robert Bjork, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Psychology, UCLA Here’s what happens in your brain when you think a thought, feel angry, or raise your left foot:The electrical energy in your brain increases, until it crosses a certain threshold called the action potential. Once crossed, electrons are fired off in one neuron (a node in your network of nerve cells), andstart traveling towards the next. The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning provides a framework for professional training. According to the authors, the six disciplines are as follows:The more myelin is wrapped around those fibers, the faster and stronger those tiny signal travel through the circuits. Hence, you become faster and better at the task. Coyle explains that there isn't one right way to coach, and that coaching is context and person-specific. Notable Quote: “‘Building a culture of learning’ does develop agile staff who have a collaborative mindset and a willingness to share. These are the by-products of the process. Staff focus more on what needs to be done and admit what they do not know and seek help to get things right.” Employee Training & Development is one of the most widely-used training textbooks. The book teaches management students how to design and administer effective training programs. These programs equip employees with the skills and knowledge needed to perform jobs exceptionally well. The ultimate goal of this instructional manual is to optimize the training process, elevate employee performance, gain a competitive edge, and achieve a return on the investment put into creating courses. Employee Training & Development touches on various training methods such as in-person seminars, online classrooms, and collaborative learning, making it one of the most comprehensive manager training and development books. By far, this is one of the most impactful books I have ever read and it makes an amazing companion to the book: "Mindset".
