#213. The Art of Practice: How to actually get better at anything

How to get better at anything comes down to more than simple practice, productivity, daily habits and routine hacks. It’s about deliberate and focused personal development strategies that help you grow your skills. In this episode, we explore why productivity and practice alone don’t guarantee progress, and how the real difference in personal growth comes from how you structure your daily habits, routines, and self-development practice with intention. If you’ve been trying to get better at anything, yet feel stuck, this episode breaks down the hidden gap between putting in the hours of practice and actually making real improvements in your growth and skills. Most people focus on doing more to grow their careers or personal development goals — more practice, more hours, more repetition. But personal development is not about doing more. It’s about doing the right things differently. How you approach your daily habits and productivity systems determines whether you actually improve or stay stuck at the same level.This episode explores how to get better at anything using the principles of deliberate practice. You’ll learn why personal growth often stalls, even when productivity is high, and how small adjustments in your habits and routines can dramatically improve results.We also break down how high performers approach productivity, personal development, and skill-building differently. Why their daily habits are designed for improvement, not just activity.In this episode, you’ll learn:How to get better at anything using intentional practiceWhy productivity doesn’t always lead to personal growthHow daily habits shape long-term self developmentWhy most people plateau in personal developmentHow to structure practice for real improvementSo, watch this if you’re interested in:Productivity and performanceSelf-development and personal growthBuilding better daily habitsImproving skills fasterMindset and routine designBecoming more consistent and effective0:00 How to Actually Get Better at Anything Intro0:50 The 10,000-hour myth & Deliberate Practice5:02 Painful Practice7:38 Getting to Unconscious Competence👋🏽 Hi, I'm Dianne - personal brand coach, consultant and speaker for emerging leaders, executives and entrepreneurs.

#211. AI-Written Resumes (5 Signs Recruiters Spot Instantly)

Many job seekers are now using AI tools like ChatGPT to write their resumes, but the question is no longer how to write a resume with AI; it’s whether your AI-written resume is actually helping or hurting your chances of getting a new job. In this episode, we explore writing a resume with ChatGPT or other AI tools and show you what most people miss when they rely too heavily on automation when preparing their job applications. While ChatGPT or AI more broadly can absolutely help speed up the resume writing process, the risk is that your resume will stand out to recruiters for all the wrong reasons. Recruiters are now reviewing AI-written resumes every day.
