Developing your talents and skills
Developing your talents and skills requires both theory and practice. The document outlines a six-step methodology involving three theory steps (unawareness, awareness, clarification) and three practice steps (awkwardness, familiarity, automatic). It also describes the PEAFF strategy for developing skills, which involves planning, evaluation, awareness, focus, and faith. Mastering new skills takes time and effort, but following principles like choosing relevant skills, getting guidance from others, and continually improving can help people develop their talents.
