Develop Your Skills More Effectively
– On Your Own!

If you believed you could substantially add new skills to your skill set (while improving the ones you already have) because of what you do on your own, where might you take your riding in the future?

That’s what this video is all about.


VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

I’m super excited to share this video with you today.

About a year and a half ago, I met a woman, Dr. Stephanie Burns, an Adult Learning Expert.

We worked on a fantastic project together, Ageless Grit, and we became great friends through that.

As I got to know Stef more, I realized that as an Adult Learning specialist, she had something very special to share with us riders – and that is how to help us learn how to learn.

In her research and study, when it comes to process of adults learning, there are many fascinating facts (like adults learn more easily than kids) – but one is that teachers have responsibilities in the learning process – and students have their responsibilities – much of the real learning is in our/your hands.

As horse women and men, we get info from the many sources, trainers, books, videos, blogs (like this) – but it often doesn’t take, or our progress is so slow because we rely only on someone or something pouring it into our brain.

In my own experience in learning, as I look back, much of what I learned was taking the info I saw, read, or heard, and following it up with my own effort to learn.

And, I see it in riders all the time—those who go the extra mile advance more accurately and quickly. But, THERE IS a process, and I believe most of us have so much more to learn about learning.

Well, now there is a specific process for learning that most of us have never been taught to understand how much we can do to install new knowledge and skills into our bones, so we can do the thing accurately and without thinking about it.

I asked Stephanie if she would share her learning process wisdom with us in a training program. This is life-changing information.

When she accepted, I was thrilled.

I asked her to introduce you to this student learning process, through a series of 3 short 8-15 minute mini-podcasts, so that she could explain more.

There’s no cost, and there are some excellent tips in them.

The first short podcast will be released this Wednesday.

I don’t think, I know this information can change so much for you, foremost a leap of confidence and a belief in yourself that you can do so much to minimize struggling to learn and take much more control of your own learning process.

You can sign up today to be notified as the podcasts come out. The first is coming out this Wednesday.

That signup link is just below this video.

I know you’ll be enlightened, and I hope you’ll be excited, too, because this is incredible information.

  2. Hi Barb, Oh my gosh, this 3 series podcast with Stephanie Burns sounds just great. I’m really looking forward to being a part of the listening audience and hopefully applying it to my own life with my 4 horses!!! Thank you. I did sign up for “Ageless Grit” but have never really gone thru the steps to use it the informaiton. I need to do that too. 🙂
