Self-correction is key when learning or improving a skill.
Most people start by watching a YouTube video or taking an online course about the skill. I recommend that you do the opposite. Watch nothing. Shut off your phone. Look inwardly first.
If you want to learn a skill, first you need to admit that you’re bad at it.
Do the thing that you want to learn and look at all the things you do wrong. Find all your fallacies, mistakes, and bad habits. If you think you can’t cook, don’t go to YouTube for the best recipe. First, cook something and see what you think “cooking” means. Notice what you do on autopilot. If you want to improve your squat, film yourself and look at your squats before you start listening to a fitness guru on YouTube. If you want to speak English better, record your phone calls in English. Listen to yourself, however painful that is.
Find your mistakes.
Then consciously fix them, one by one.
This is how you self-correct.
First, you need to be aware of what you’re doing. Most people try to add new and “correct”behaviors on top of their automatic “incorrect” behaviors that they’re not conscious of. They end up accumulating a lot of information ABOUT the skill but fail to actually improve it.
Look inwardly first. When you see what needs to be fixed, look for feedback and guidance. Decide whose feedback you want. Don’t take it from just anyone. Use the feedback to fix your mistakes. Practice the right moves until they become your new norm.
Being a metacognitive learner means being aware of your awareness. You can fix only the mistakes you’re aware of.
The longer you resist looking at your mistakes, the longer it takes to learn a skill.

About 7 years ago, I started writing about the importance of "speaking the human language' in business on LinkedIn. Today, it remains a topic humans still grapple with.
I coach people who seem to have forgotten "the human language". They've forgotten how to listen, connect the dots, or genuinely help one another with their insight. It's disheartening to see that people are losing the ability to experience epiphanies or perceive something clearly and deeply. No one really knows what it means to discern information any more. Too many conspiracy theories turned out to be true blurring the lines between "facts" and "misinformation".
In today's world, people ask Chat GPT to extract all potential AHA moments in the book or article so they don't have to read it. They turn to AI to summarize the value of the information for them, giving more of their power away each day.
People still resort to mass messaging on LinkedIn hoping to "connect" with clients, just like they did 7 years ago. They still haven't learned what "connection" means. They still haven't woken up to the fact that they are no 'prospects', 'whales', 'clients', 'leads', 'accounts', or 'traffic'. There are only people. And people haven't changed much over the last 2000 years.
We still crave genuine connection and meaningful relationships. We love a good story. We haven't lost the innate ability to tell a genuine smile from a manipulative ploy.
Now, more than ever, is the worst time for sending bulk messages and mass emails. It is literally the worst time for impressing people with large follower counts, "best-selling" online courses promising success, or carefully curated personal brands.
Today is the best time to unite people and cherish unity. Now is the time to speak the human language, regardless of where you are in the world. Now is the time to create remarkable things together, and we all know that the best things in life are not things.
Now is the time to pass down knowledge to younger generations, because they will be our leaders in 10-15 years. And they're clueless...because they're looking up to us. And what do we do? We diminish the human spirit by sending clichéd greetings and value propositions to random people on the internet whose time we don't respect anyway. We're refusing to communicate better. Every second message is now generated by AI so humans don't need to write anything thoughtful and meaningful. As a result, every second message is a cliché, perpetuating this cycle of emptiness, devoid of human warmth.
Now is the best time to learn to be better humans.
