这一辈子,
00:12
Most of us go through通过 life trying
to do our best最好 at whatever随你 we do,
0
760
4016
不管是我们的工作事务、家庭琐事、学校任务,
或是其他,
00:16
whether是否 it's our job工作, family家庭, school学校
1
4800
2576
00:19
or anything else其他.
2
7400
1200
我们大都尽己所能,做到最好,
00:21
I feel that way. I try my best最好.
3
9240
1800
我这么想,也这么做。
00:23
But some time ago, I came来了 to a realization实现
4
11920
2896
但是一段时间以前,我意识到,
00:26
that I wasn't getting得到 much better
at the things I cared照顾 most about,
5
14840
3776
我在我最在乎的事情上并没有进步,
00:30
whether是否 it was being存在 a husband丈夫 or a friend朋友
6
18640
3176
不管是作为丈夫或是朋友,
00:33
or a professional专业的 or teammate队友,
7
21840
2216
或是专家,或者队友。
00:36
and I wasn't improving提高
much at those things
8
24080
2016
即使我在这些事上花费了大量时间,
00:38
even though虽然 I was spending开支 a lot of time
9
26120
2536
做了很多努力,
00:40
working加工 hard at them.
10
28680
1200
我却没有太多进步。
00:43
I've since以来 realized实现 from conversations对话
I've had and from research研究
11
31200
3376
我之后在与他人的谈话和研究中意识到,
00:46
that this stagnation停滞, despite尽管 hard work,
12
34600
2656
这种白白耗费努力的停滞,
00:49
turns out to be pretty漂亮 common共同.
13
37280
1736
原来非常普遍。
00:51
So I'd like to share分享 with you
some insights见解 into why that is
14
39040
2856
所以我想与大家分享一些,
00:53
and what we can all do about it.
15
41920
1524
关于它为何发生和如何应对的见解。
00:56
What I've learned学到了
is that the most effective有效 people
16
44160
2496
我所了解的是,无论哪个领域,
00:58
and teams球队 in any domain
17
46680
1976
最高效的个人和团队,
01:00
do something we can all emulate仿真.
18
48680
1640
都会做一件我们可以效仿的事情:
01:03
They go through通过 life deliberately故意
alternating交替 between之间 two zones:
19
51000
4056
生活中,他们有意识的在两个区域转换:
01:07
the learning学习 zone
and the performance性能 zone.
20
55080
2080
学习区和展现区。
01:10
The learning学习 zone
is when our goal目标 is to improve提高.
21
58160
2656
在学习区,我们希冀进步,
01:12
Then we do activities活动
designed设计 for improvement起色,
22
60840
3096
我们为了进步而计划行为,
01:15
concentrating集中 on what
we haven't没有 mastered掌握 yet然而,
23
63960
2456
将精力集中在那些我们还没有掌握的东西上,
01:18
which哪一个 means手段 we have to expect期望
to make mistakes错误,
24
66440
2456
我们意识到自己会犯错,
01:20
knowing会心 that we will learn学习 from them.
25
68920
1800
并且知道我们会从中汲取什么教训。
01:23
That is very different不同 from what we do
when we're in our performance性能 zone,
26
71160
3736
这和我们在展现区做的完全不同,
01:26
which哪一个 is when our goal目标 is to do something
as best最好 as we can, to execute执行.
27
74920
4296
在展现区我们的目标是做到最好,去执行,
01:31
Then we concentrate集中
on what we have already已经 mastered掌握
28
79240
2616
我们在已经掌握的东西上集中精力,
01:33
and we try to minimize最小化 mistakes错误.
29
81880
1760
并尽力把错误缩小。
01:36
Both of these zones
should be part部分 of our lives生活,
30
84840
2416
这两个区域都应是我们生活的一部分,
01:39
but being存在 clear明确 about
when we want to be in each of them,
31
87280
3256
但是在进入区域之前,想清楚我们进的是哪个区,
01:42
with what goal目标, focus焦点 and expectations期望,
32
90560
2296
我们的目标是什么、精力放在哪、有什么样的期望,
01:44
helps帮助 us better perform演出
and better improve提高.
33
92880
2816
这会帮助我们更好的提升或表现
01:47
The performance性能 zone maximizes最大程度地增强
our immediate即时 performance性能,
34
95720
2936
在展现区将展现最大化,
01:50
while the learning学习 zone
maximizes最大程度地增强 our growth发展
35
98680
2096
在学习区将进步最大化
01:52
and our future未来 performance性能.
36
100800
1286
并在未来的展现中将其表现。
01:55
The reason原因 many许多 of us don't improve提高 much
37
103320
2056
我们努力工作却没有太多进步的原因,
01:57
despite尽管 our hard work
38
105400
1736
是我们往往将时间都花在了展现区里。
01:59
is that we tend趋向 to spend almost几乎
all of our time in the performance性能 zone.
39
107160
4000
这阻碍着我们的进步,
02:03
This hinders阻碍 our growth发展,
40
111880
1376
02:05
and ironically讽刺地, over the long term术语,
also our performance性能.
41
113280
3080
更讽刺的是,长久来看,这也影响着我们的展现。
02:10
So what does the learning学习 zone look like?
42
118040
1960
那学习区是什么样的呢?
02:12
Take Demosthenes德摩斯梯尼, a political政治 leader领导
43
120760
2016
看看古希腊的政治领导者、
02:14
and the greatest最大 orator演说者
and lawyer律师 in ancient Greece希腊.
44
122800
2840
最伟大的演说家、律师,狄摩西尼吧。
02:18
To become成为 great,
he didn't spend all his time
45
126240
3655
为了成就伟大,他没有把所有时间花费在仅仅作为演说家或者律师上--
02:21
just being存在 an orator演说者 or a lawyer律师,
46
129919
2417
02:24
which哪一个 would be his performance性能 zone.
47
132360
2176
也就是他展现区的一部分。
02:26
But instead代替, he did activities活动
designed设计 for improvement起色.
48
134560
2620
反而,他为了进步规划行为,
02:29
Of course课程, he studied研究 a lot.
49
137600
1376
是的,他大量地学习。
02:31
He studied研究 law and philosophy哲学
with guidance指导 from mentors导师,
50
139000
2816
他不仅在导师的帮助下学习法律和哲学,
02:33
but he also realized实现 that being存在 a lawyer律师
involved参与 persuading说服 other people,
51
141840
4536
他还意识到了律师的职责包括说服他人,
02:38
so he also studied研究 great speeches演讲
52
146400
2376
所以他研习了许多伟大的演说
02:40
and acting演戏.
53
148800
1200
和表演。
02:42
To get rid摆脱 of an odd habit习惯 he had
of involuntarily不由自主 lifting吊装 his shoulder,
54
150640
4296
为了戒掉他不自主抬胳膊的习惯,
02:46
he practiced his speeches演讲
in front面前 of a mirror镜子,
55
154960
2416
他在一面镜子前练习演说,
02:49
and he suspended暂停 a sword from the ceiling天花板
56
157400
2976
并将一把剑吊在房梁上,
02:52
so that if he raised上调 his shoulder,
57
160400
1736
这样如果他抬起了肩膀,
02:54
it would hurt伤害.
58
162160
1216
剑就会刺痛他。
02:55
(Laughter笑声)
59
163400
1616
(笑声)
02:57
To speak说话 more clearly明确地 despite尽管 a lisp口齿不清,
60
165040
2136
为了发音清晰,
02:59
he went through通过 his speeches演讲
with stones石头 in his mouth.
61
167200
2840
他在演说时嘴里含着石头。
03:02
He built内置 an underground地下 room房间
62
170840
1376
他还建造了一个地下室,
03:04
where he could practice实践
without interruptions中断
63
172240
2136
这样他在练习的时候就不会被打扰,
03:06
and not disturb打扰 other people.
64
174400
1416
也不会打扰到别人。
03:07
And since以来 courts法院 at the time
were very noisy嘈杂,
65
175840
2136
因为那时候的法庭很嘈杂,
03:10
he also practiced by the ocean海洋,
66
178000
1856
对此他在海边练习,
03:11
projecting突出 his voice语音
above以上 the roar怒吼 of the waves波浪.
67
179880
2560
保证声音在海浪的咆哮中清晰可听。
03:15
His activities活动 in the learning学习 zone
68
183400
1696
他在学习区所做的行为,
03:17
were very different不同
from his activities活动 in court法庭,
69
185120
2496
和他在法庭上的行为,也就是他展现区的行为,
03:19
his performance性能 zone.
70
187640
1280
远远不同。
03:21
In the learning学习 zone,
71
189760
1216
在学习区,
03:23
he did what Dr博士. Anders安德斯 Ericsson爱立信
calls电话 deliberate商榷 practice实践.
72
191000
2776
安德斯•埃里克森博士称这种行为为“有意练习”,
03:25
This involves涉及 breaking破坏 down
abilities能力 into component零件 skills技能,
73
193800
3536
这种练习包括了将能力转化为所需技能,
03:29
being存在 clear明确 about what subskill次技巧
we're working加工 to improve提高,
74
197360
2896
对我们需要提升什么非主要技能非常清楚,
03:32
like keeping保持 our shoulders肩膀 down,
75
200280
1976
就像狄摩西尼将肩膀放低,
03:34
giving full充分 concentration浓度
to a high level水平 of challenge挑战
76
202280
2856
还有将精力集中在我们舒适区之外、
03:37
outside our comfort安慰 zone,
77
205160
1416
更高一级的挑战,
03:38
just beyond what we can currently目前 do,
78
206600
2336
做超越我们现在正做的事,
03:40
using运用 frequent频繁 feedback反馈
with repetition重复 and adjustments调整,
79
208960
3216
在重复和调整中得到反馈,
03:44
and ideally理想 engaging the guidance指导
of a skilled技能的 coach教练,
80
212200
2976
最好能得到熟练者的指导,
03:47
because activities活动
designed设计 for improvement起色
81
215200
2056
因为为了进步而设定行为
03:49
are domain-specific特定领域,
82
217280
1256
是件很内行的事。
好的老师和教练了解什么行为能带来进步,
03:50
and great teachers教师 and coaches教练
know what those activities活动 are
83
218560
2896
也能给我们专业的反馈。
03:53
and can also give us expert专家 feedback反馈.
84
221480
1880
03:55
It is this type类型 of practice实践
in the learning学习 zone
85
223960
2696
学习区中,给我们带来很大的进步的,
03:58
which哪一个 leads引线 to substantial大量的 improvement起色,
86
226680
1896
正是这样的练习,
04:00
not just time on task任务 performing执行.
87
228600
2360
而不是单纯的完成任务。
04:03
For example, research研究 shows节目
that after the first couple一对 of years年份
88
231960
3176
例如,研究表明,在某一行业最初工作的几年,
04:07
working加工 in a profession职业,
89
235160
1256
展现的进步会停滞。
04:08
performance性能 usually平时 plateaus高原.
90
236440
2336
04:10
This has been shown显示 to be true真正
in teaching教学, general一般 medicine医学,
91
238800
3056
这已经在教育、普通内科、
04:13
nursing看护 and other fields领域,
92
241880
1696
护理和其他领域都到了印证,
04:15
and it happens发生 because once一旦 we think
we have become成为 good enough足够,
93
243600
3736
我们一旦认为自己足够好、足够适合工作,
04:19
adequate充足,
94
247360
1216
而停止学习,
04:20
then we stop spending开支 time
in the learning学习 zone.
95
248600
2256
它就会发生在我们身上。
04:22
We focus焦点 all our time
on just doing our job工作,
96
250880
2176
我们仅是把时间花费在完成工作上,
04:25
performing执行,
97
253080
1216
也就是展现,
04:26
which哪一个 turns out not to be
a great way to improve提高.
98
254320
2320
这决不是进步的好方法。
04:29
But the people who continue继续
to spend time in the learning学习 zone
99
257160
2936
而那些继续在学习区花费时间的人,
04:32
do continue继续 to always improve提高.
100
260120
2136
确实在不停进步。
04:34
The best最好 salespeople销售人员 at least最小 once一旦 a week

They read to extend延伸 their knowledge知识,

与同事或行业专家交换意见,
04:43

The best最好 chess players玩家

最好的国际象棋棋手,
04:49
spend a lot of time
not playing播放 games游戏 of chess,
107
277000
3536
并没有将大部分时间花在他们的表现区——
04:52
which哪一个 would be their performance性能 zone,
108
280560
1936
也就是下象棋上,
04:54
but trying to predict预测 the moves移动
grand盛大 masters主人 made制作 and analyzing分析 them.
109
282520
3480
而是努力去预测象棋大师的着子并加以分析。
04:58
Each of us has probably大概 spent花费
many许多, many许多, many许多 hours小时
110
286920
4096
我们在电脑打字上,
05:03
typing打字 on a computer电脑
111
291040
1536
花费了很多时间
05:04
without getting得到 faster更快,
112
292600
1576
却没有打得更快,
05:06
but if we spent花费 10 to 20 minutes分钟 each day
113
294200
3416
但是我们如果每天都能抽出10-20分钟,
05:09
fully充分 concentrating集中
on typing打字 10 to 20 percent百分 faster更快
114
297640
3176
全神贯注地提升打字速度,
05:12
than our current当前 reliable可靠 speed速度,
115
300840
1576
就比平常快上10%-20%,
05:14
we would get faster更快,
116
302440
1256
我们打字的速度就会提升,
05:15
especially特别 if we also identified确定
what mistakes错误 we're making制造
117
303720
3016
尤其是我们还找出了我们常犯的错,
05:18
and practiced typing打字 those words.
118
306760
1960
并且还加以纠正练习。
05:21
That's deliberate商榷 practice实践.
119
309400
1400
这就是“有意练习”。
05:24
In what other parts部分 of our lives生活,
120
312280
1736
打字毕竟不是主业,
05:26
perhaps也许 that we care关心 more about,
121
314040
1696
我们有其他更在乎的领域,
05:27
are we working加工 hard but not improving提高 much
122
315760
2536
那些我们努力过,但是提升甚少的领域,
05:30
because we're always
in the performance性能 zone?
123
318320
2320
这是因为我们总停留在展现区吗?
05:34
Now, this is not to say
that the performance性能 zone has no value.
124
322560
2976
这并不意味展现区毫无价值,
05:37
It very much does.
125
325560
1216
它非常有价值。
05:38
When I needed需要 a knee膝盖 surgery手术,
I didn't tell the surgeon外科医生,
126
326800
2656
我不会告诉我膝盖手术的主治医生:
05:41
"Poke around in there
and focus焦点 on what you don't know."
127
329480
2656
“随便弄吧,把膝盖当作你的教具,”
05:44
(Laughter笑声)
128
332160
1016
(笑声)
05:45
"We'll learn学习 from your mistakes错误!"
129
333200
1600
“你犯错了我们都会吸取教训的!”
05:47
I looked看着 for a surgeon外科医生
who I felt would do a good job工作,
130
335680
3256
我会找一个我认为能做好手术的外科医生,
05:50
and I wanted her to do a good job工作.
131
338960
1640
我也想让她顺利完成手术。
05:53
Being存在 in the performance性能 zone
132
341160
1416
在展现区做事,
05:54
allows允许 us to get things doneDONE
as best最好 as we can.
133
342600
2640
要求我们做到最好。
05:57
It can also be motivating激励,
134
345800
1376
这本身就是一种鞭策,
05:59
and it provides提供 us with information信息
to identify鉴定 what to focus焦点 on next下一个
135
347200
3576
它也能让我们知道,当我们回到学习区的时候,
06:02
when we go back to the learning学习 zone.
136
350800
2296
我们应当注意什么。
06:05
So the way to high performance性能
137
353120
1696
通往高水平展现的路,
06:06
is to alternate备用 between之间 the learning学习 zone
and the performance性能 zone,
138
354840
3696
就是在学习区、表现区间来回转换的路,
06:10
purposefully目的地 building建造 our skills技能
in the learning学习 zone,
139
358560
2536
我们有目的地在学习区积攒技能,
06:13
then applying应用 those skills技能
in the performance性能 zone.
140
361120
2400
然后将其应用于展现区。
06:16
When Beyonc碧昂斯é is on tour游览,
141
364560
2016
当碧昂斯举办巡回演唱会时,
06:18
during the concert音乐会,
she's in her performance性能 zone,
142
366600
3176
演唱会,就是她的展现区,
06:21
but every一切 night when she
gets得到 back to the hotel旅馆 room房间,
143
369800
2496
但是当她每晚回到酒店房间时,
06:24
she goes right back
into her learning学习 zone.
144
372320
2216
她就径直地回到了她的学习区。
06:26
She watches手表 a video视频
of the show显示 that just ended结束.
145
374560
2776
她会观看刚刚结束的演出的录像。
06:29
She identifies识别 opportunities机会
for improvement起色,
146
377360
2136
为她自己、舞者、摄像组
06:31
for herself她自己, her dancers舞者
and her camera相机 staff员工.
147
379520
2616
寻求进步的突破口。
06:34
And the next下一个 morning早上,
148
382160
1256
第二天早上,
06:35
everyone大家 receives收到 pages网页 of notes笔记
with what to adjust调整,
149
383440
3056
每个人都会收到几页笔记,上面写着
06:38
which哪一个 they then work on during the day
before the next下一个 performance性能.
150
386520
3976
他们需要在下次演出前需要调整的问题。
06:42
It's a spiral螺旋
151
390520
1216
提高能力
06:43
to ever-increasing不断增加 capabilities功能,
152
391760
1576
是一个螺旋上升的过程,
06:45
but we need to know when we seek寻求 to learn学习,
and when we seek寻求 to perform演出,
153
393360
3616
但是我们得知道何时学习、何时表现,
06:49
and while we want
to spend time doing both,
154
397000
2056
当想两者兼顾时,
06:51
the more time we spend
in the learning学习 zone,
155
399080
2096
想要进步,
06:53
the more we'll improve提高.
156
401200
1240
就要多花时间在学习区上。
06:55
So how can we spend
more time in the learning学习 zone?
157
403360
2400
那我们如何将更多时间用在学习区上呢?
06:59
First, we must必须 believe and understand理解
158
407040
3176
首先,
坚定我们一定会进步的信念,
07:02
that we can improve提高,
159
410240
1336
07:03
what we call a growth发展 mindset心态.
160
411600
1520
我们叫它“成长思维”。
07:05
Second第二, we must必须 want
to improve提高 at that particular特定 skill技能.
161
413840
3256
其次,成长目标必须明确。
07:09
There has to be a purpose目的 we care关心 about,
162
417120
1936
时间、精力有限,
07:11
because it takes time and effort功夫.
163
419080
1600
它们必须花费在我们在乎的目标上。
07:13
Third第三, we must必须 have an idea理念
about how to improve提高,
164
421360
3016
第三,我们必须要知道如何提高,
07:16
what we can do to improve提高,
165
424400
1696
怎样提高,
07:18
not how I used to practice实践
the guitar吉他 as a teenager青少年,
166
426120
2576
不能像小时候学吉他,
07:20
performing执行 songs歌曲 over and over again,
167
428720
2096
一遍遍重复单调的歌曲,
07:22
but doing deliberate商榷 practice实践.
168
430840
1480
而是做一些有意的练习。
07:24
And fourth第四, we must必须 be
in a low-stakes低风险 situation情况,
169
432960
3600
第四,保证低风险,
07:29
because if mistakes错误 are to be expected预期,
170
437160
2216
因为犯错在意料之中,
07:31
then the consequence后果 of making制造 them
must必须 not be catastrophic灾难性的,
171
439400
3016
其后果必不能不堪设想,
07:34
or even very significant重大.
172
442440
1240
哪怕是有一点严重都不行。
07:36
A tightrope拉紧的绳索 walker助步车 doesn't practice实践
new tricks技巧 without a net underneath,
173
444240
3696
没有拦网,走钢索的人不会去训练新技巧,
07:39
and an athlete运动员 wouldn't不会 set out
to first try a new move移动
174
447960
2616
在大赛上,运动员也不会去开发新的动作。
07:42
during a championship锦标赛 match比赛.
175
450600
1334
07:45
One reason原因 that in our lives生活
176
453120
1656
我们之所以在展现区耗费大量时间,
07:46
we spend so much time
in the performance性能 zone
177
454800
2456
是因为我们通常不必要地将环境
07:49
is that our environments环境
often经常 are, unnecessarily不必要的, high stakes赌注.
178
457280
4080
置于高风险的状态。
07:54
We create创建 social社会 risks风险 for one another另一个,
179
462200
2216
我们给彼此制造了社会风险,
07:56
even in schools学校 which哪一个 are supposed应该
to be all about learning学习,
180
464440
2856
即使在我们一切都为了学习的学校里,
07:59
and I'm not talking
about standardized标准化 tests测试.
181
467320
2136
我没有在说标准化考试,
08:01
I mean that every一切 minute分钟 of every一切 day,
182
469480
2216
我说的是学生每时每刻、
08:03
many许多 students学生们 in elementary初级
schools学校 through通过 colleges高校
183
471720
2696
从小学到大学,
08:06
feel that if they make a mistake错误,
others其他 will think less of them.
184
474440
3416
都会觉得别人会因为他们犯错而轻视他们。
08:09
No wonder奇迹 they're always stressed强调 out
185
477880
1936
难怪学生一直紧张兮兮,
08:11
and not taking服用 the risks风险
necessary必要 for learning学习.
186
479840
2240
不愿为学习而冒必要的风险。
08:14
But they learn学习
that mistakes错误 are undesirable不可取
187
482760
2256
老师、家长对正确答案趋之若鹜的态度,
08:17
inadvertently不经意间
188
485040
1256
无意中
08:18
when teachers教师 or parents父母
are eager急于 to hear just correct正确 answers答案
189
486320
3496
让学生抗拒犯错,
08:21
and reject拒绝 mistakes错误
rather than welcome欢迎 and examine检查 them
190
489840
2656
而不是勇于试错、检视过错、
08:24
to learn学习 from them,
191
492520
1256
并从中吸取教训,
08:25
or when we look for narrow狭窄 responses回复
192
493800
1736
我们也只想要“标准答案”,
08:27
rather than encourage鼓励
more exploratory探索 thinking思维
193
495560
2216
而不是激励学生去进行
08:29
that we can all learn学习 from.
194
497800
1336
大有裨益的开拓性思考。
08:31
When all homework家庭作业 or student学生 work
has a number or a letter on it,
195
499160
3096
一旦学生的作业、作品,都会被评定等级、标上分数,
08:34
and counts计数 towards a final最后 grade年级,
196
502280
1736
最后被记入期末成绩,
08:36
rather than being存在 used for practice实践,
mistakes错误, feedback反馈 and revision调整,
197
504040
3576
它们就起不到练习、试错、反馈、修正的作用了,
08:39
we send发送 the message信息
that school学校 is a performance性能 zone.
198
507640
3200
我们让孩子误认为学校是展现区。
08:44
The same相同 is true真正 in our workplaces工作场所.
199
512240
2056
职场中也同样如此。
08:46
In the companies公司 I consult请教 with,
I often经常 see flawless完美无瑕 execution执行 cultures文化
200
514320
4016
那些咨询我的公司,经常执行无缺陷企业文化,
08:50
which哪一个 leaders领导者 foster培育
to encourage鼓励 great work.
201
518360
2576
领导们努力于激励工作。
08:52
But that leads引线 employees雇员
to stay within what they know
202
520960
2536
但这会让员工停留在自己已知的领域,
08:55
and not try new things,
203
523520
1256
固步自封,
08:56
so companies公司 struggle斗争
to innovate创新 and improve提高,
204
524800
2336
公司因此很难创新、进步,
08:59
and they fall秋季 behind背后.
205
527160
1200
从而落了下风。
09:01
We can create创建 more spaces空间 for growth发展
206
529960
2296
我们可以通过交流,
09:04
by starting开始 conversations对话 with one another另一个
207
532280
2056
为彼此开创进步的空间,
09:06
about when we want to be in each zone.
208
534360
2280
可以让行为各属所区的空间。
09:09
What do we want to get better at and how?
209
537240
2696
何处改进?如何改进?
09:11
And when do we want
to execute执行 and minimize最小化 mistakes错误?
210
539960
3000
何时决策?怎样控损?
09:15
That way, we gain获得 clarity明晰
about what success成功 is,
211
543680
3016
何为成功,何时、以何种方法去支持对方,
09:18
when, and how to best最好 support支持 one another另一个.
212
546720
2080
由此在我们眼前清晰展现。
09:22
But what if we find ourselves我们自己
in a chronic慢性 high-stakes高风险 setting设置
213
550000
3096
那要是我们发现自己长期都在高风险状态下,
09:25
and we feel we can't
start开始 those conversations对话 yet然而?
214
553120
2720
并且无法开展这样的交流怎么办?
09:28
Then here are three things
that we can still do as individuals个人.
215
556720
3096
作为个人,我们仍可以做这下面三点:
09:31
First, we can create创建 low-stakes低风险 islands岛屿
in an otherwise除此以外 high-stakes高风险 sea.
216
559840
4280
首先,我们可以在高风险的汪洋中开辟一个低风险的小岛,
09:36
These are spaces空间 where mistakes错误
have little consequence后果.
217
564640
2736
在这里,错误的后果不会太严重,
09:39
For example, we might威力 find
a mentor导师 or a trusted信任 colleague同事
218
567400
3456
比如,我们可以找一个导师,或是可信的同事,
09:42
with whom we can exchange交换 ideas思路
or have vulnerable弱势 conversations对话
219
570880
3176
和他们分享想法,或是接受批评,
09:46
or even role-play角色扮演.
220
574080
1376
甚至角色代入都行。
09:47
Or we can ask for feedback-oriented反馈为导向
meetings会议 as projects项目 progress进展.
221
575480
3616
或者是随着项目的进展,举办反馈向会议。
09:51
Or we can set aside在旁边 time to read
or watch videos视频 or take online线上 courses培训班.
222
579120
4136
我们也可以抽出时间去阅读相关书籍、看视频或是参加在线课程。
09:55
Those are just some examples例子.
223
583280
1400
这只是几个例子。
09:57
Second第二, we can execute执行
and perform演出 as we're expected预期,
224
585360
4176
其次,我们可以遵循着预期去执行,
10:01
but then reflect反映 on what
we could do better next下一个 time,
225
589560
2576
但将精力集中于如何在下次做的更好,
10:04
like Beyonc碧昂斯é does,
226
592160
1256
就像碧昂斯,
10:05
and we can observe and emulate仿真 experts专家.
227
593440
2136
我们可以观察并模仿专家所做。
10:07
The observation意见, reflection反射
and adjustment调整 is a learning学习 zone.
228
595600
3520
这些观察、映射和调整属于学习区。
10:11
And finally最后, we can lead
229
599880
2200
最终,我们可以通过和他人分享希冀在何处取得进步,
10:14
and lower降低 the stakes赌注 for others其他
by sharing分享 what we want to get better at,
230
602760
3576
通过询问未知的问题,
10:18
by asking questions问题
about what we don't know,
231
606360
2496
通过征求反馈,
10:20
by soliciting拉客 feedback反馈
and by sharing分享 our mistakes错误
232
608880
2496
通过分享我们曾经犯过的错,和从中汲取的教训,
10:23
and what we've我们已经 learned学到了 from them,
233
611400
1616
为彼此营造一个低风险的状态,
10:25
so that others其他
can feel safe安全 to do the same相同.
234
613040
2080
这样他人也会安心地做同样的事。
10:27
Real真实 confidence置信度 is about
modeling造型 ongoing不断的 learning学习.
235
615760
3520
进步的奥秘就在规范现行的学习行为中。
10:32
What if, instead代替 of spending开支
our lives生活 doing, doing, doing,
236
620880
4456
如果,我们没有把时间耗费在
10:37
performing执行, performing执行, performing执行,
237
625360
2096
做事、表现、输出上,
10:39
we spent花费 more time exploring探索,
238
627480
2280
而是更多地去探索、
10:42
asking,
239
630640
1416
询问、
10:44
listening,
240
632080
1296
倾听、
10:45
experimenting试验, reflecting反映,
241
633400
3096
实践、斟酌、
10:48
striving努力 and becoming变得?
242
636520
2480
拼命去成为想成为的人,会怎么样?
10:52
What if we each always had something
243
640320
2816
如果我们每个人,都有某些事情
10:55
we were working加工 to improve提高?
244
643160
1520
让我们可为之努力,从而提高呢?
10:57
What if we created创建 more low-stakes低风险 islands岛屿
245
645760
2416
如果我们可以找到,或者创造出更多的
11:00
and waters水域?
246
648200
1200
低风险地带呢?
11:01
And what if we got clear明确,
247
649840
2456
那如果我们对于自身
11:04
within ourselves我们自己 and with our teammates队友,
248
652320
2376
和团队成员,
11:06
about when we seek寻求 to learn学习
and when we seek寻求 to perform演出,
249
654720
3536
何时需要学习,何时需要表现非常清楚呢?
11:10
so that our efforts努力
can become成为 more consequential后果,
250
658280
3056
做到这些,我们的努力会得到更多回报,
11:13
our improvement起色 never-ending没完没了
251
661360
2656
我们的进步会一往直前,
11:16
and our best最好 even better?
252
664040
2280
我们的工作会锦上添花。
11:19
Thank you.
