Matt and Garrett offer a short, little, ‘punch in the arm’ of an episode for listeners today as they explore the art of mastering new skills through the embrace of awkwardness. Sharing insights from their own experiences and professional wisdom, they illuminate how embracing initial discomfort can transform into competence, particularly in sales and personal development. They challenge listeners to reframe awkwardness as an essential step in learning, providing rich anecdotes from boxing to Ninja Selling as strategies for skill refinement and personal growth.

Along the way, our hosts delve deep into the awkward phase of learning, emphasizing its role as a sign of progress. They also distinguish between the natural discomfort of growth and the mistaken feeling of error, advocating for persistence, proper guidance, and a mindset aimed at continuous improvement. Their conversation here today arms listeners with practical advice for enhancing professional skills, especially in real estate, while imparting valuable life lessons on practice, patience, and perseverance. Their core message is clear: embracing awkwardness in learning is crucial for developing confidence and expertise, key ingredients in achieving both personal and professional growth.

Plenty of such learning can be found by joining the more than 15,000 other Ninjas with all levels of experience who collaborate, ask and answer questions, network, and more in the Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook.

Episode Highlights:

  • Navigating through awkwardness in mastering new skills and personal growth

  • The distinction between the sensations of awkwardness as a learning phase versus the feeling that something is fundamentally wrong

  • Personal anecdotes, including boxing training with fellow Ninja Coach, the multi-talented Danielle Pearson, demonstrating the importance of subtle adjustments for significant performance enhancements

  • The importance of consistent practice, receiving the right guidance, and choosing an effective learning strategy

  • The mental journey of learning, including the resilience and courage to persist despite initial discomfort or failures

  • Awkwardness as a valuable indicator of personal development and a step towards mastery

Quotes:

"That awkwardness is the feeling of learning, and that is a great thing."

"Embrace that feeling of learning. Don't throw it away."

"We all have our awkwardness... Embrace that."

"Don't let the awkwardness of it stop you too early."

“I was not focusing on the right stuff. And then all of a sudden, you put a couple of those pieces together and you hit the bag and you're like, ‘Whoa. Like, that felt good!’”
