In the 1970's, a man named Noel Burch was working at a company called Gordon Training International teaching something called "The Four Stages of Competence." He created this innovative model to describe how humans learn new things, and over the years psychologists and many others have continued to share it. When I was first introduced to it a decade ago, it completely blew my mind. What I love about it most is that we learn that the first step to changing anything is awareness. How true this is… we cannot change anything about ourselves until we recognize it first. So in this solo episode kicking off our month about Awareness, I'll talk you through what I call the Unconscious Competence model and share why it's so important to have compassion for the things we notice about ourselves and others. Plus, just for kicks (and because it was relevant) I'll share how to speak your truth about your menstrual cycle!
