My Piano - Why Practice is Important

This is my piano. 🎹

 Why am I sharing it with you, you ask?

Well, I’ve been thinking about the concept of PRACTICE. 

Practice is one of the themes we discuss inside The Talent Trust.. 

Now, my piano is beautiful - I recently painted it so I would love it more. 

🍏 But you do NOT want to hear me play it.

🍏 I am out of practice by about 30 years!

Can you imagine paying for a ticket to go see the Toronto Symphony Orchestra 🎵, and they haven’t practiced recently?  

Or going to see the Blue Jays ⚾when they’ve all skipped practice for a few years?

Nope.

The truth is, we all expect and accept that professional musicians, actors and sports professionals spend 80-90% of their time practicing, rehearsing.  And only 10-20% of their time actually PERFORMING.

But what happens in the corporate world most of the time?  

TELL or SAY > Now DO!

There’s a gap in the middle there.   

And it’s a gap that Talent Leaders - all leaders - can influence if they choose.

 🍏QUESTION for you:  How can we normalize practice - make it safe - in the corporate world?    Comment below!
