The Power of Level 4

5:00 PM Unknown No comments

You do the task effortlessly without even thinking about it

So, you know what you know, you do what you know, and you breathe what you know... You are at level 4: Unconscious Competence. You finally understand what you know and you've become the 'go to' person in your field. You are proudly wearing the Mr. or Miss "Together" sign very well.

At this stage, you have learned from your mistakes and have trainings and blueprints written to help others not go through what you have. But this is not the last trial; there is still more to do.

WHAT IS A SUCCESSFUL PERSON? IT IS ONE WHO HAS LEARNED A SKILL, BEHAVIOR, ABILITY, OR TECHNIQUE SO WELL THEY JUST FLOW IN IT WITH EASE.

Don’t settle. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

At level 4, it is important not to get used to your surroundings! Soon you'll need a challenge...That is how you got to this level in the first place. You'll need something new like improving on what you know, making it better. The worst thing to do is get bored and never grow. Don't get too comfortable being at this level. You need to be mindfully aware that although you are the master of what you know, those around you do not know what you know so it can be hard to relate.

Don't get me wrong, there is power in this model. Regardless of experience, most people who are ready for change will find that they will go through levels 2-4 over and over again in theirs lives especially when they try to change some ingrained habits. Each stage of learning had something to reveal to you when you are trying to successfully change habits and master what you know. So RELAX! Get good at recognizing those levels that get you stuck so you can release them as unnatural skills.Some things are not for you to master but to hire those who have mastered it.

So where do you go from here? There is a suggested fifth state of this model: Conscious competence of being unconsciously competent- which describes a person's ability to recognize being in stage 4. For now, let's just stick to the 4 stages and if you uncover level 5 in your life, please share it!

Let's Game Change Together!
