3 Lessons from Editing with ChatGPT

If you’re using ChatGPT, critical thinking is required. It is a machine that quickly adopts or shifts frameworks and points of reference. As it attempts to correct your writing, you might notice that it can’t quite catch your voice. That’s a good thing. It’s as important to find the edge to rapport as it is to create rapport. Unlike your human colleagues, the program is not offended if you challenge its position or its strategy. This is a also a good thing. If your objective is to produce better work, you will need to challenge.

Learn from different (not always better)

The point was never that the model was “better” than me: she wasn’t even doing the same thing. It was more significant that she was managing similar states in ways that made it clearer to me what I was doing already and what I might try to do differently. The world is less stressful when not everything is a competition (who is the best?!) and we can be curious about other people’s strategies without feeling they are ‘better’ than us. And when we learn from difference, we have lots of people to learn from, no matter our field or circumstances.

The antidote for uncertainty

The antidote for uncertainty is curiosity. You can’t feel uncertain and curious at the same time. Once you are curious, you can still be scared and you can still be torn between competing priorities. But you also want to take a next step. You also want to know what it feels like to do the thing or to understand the experience or to make the connection.

Choices in transition

When I walk the beach, I don’t expect a straight line. I expect the edge to move, and that sometimes I will walk it easily and sometimes I will move away for awhile, and sometimes I might be cold and wet. I don’t expect the unexpected. I expect the tensions that govern the edge. And because I expect them, I can enjoy moving through them. All transitions are temporary, even when you’re not sure what’s on the other side.

Practice taking smaller bites

Are you in the best state for moving forward? If you were, you’d already be taking action. The first small step is to move into a more capable state. You could do this by putting yourself into a different environment, connecting to a person with different strengths, or moving your body in a different way. This step is so small that it has no direct impact on the thing that has you stuck.

A whole new way to learn

What’s in it for you? If you take the course, you get an experience aligned with the best research on how we learn. You’ll get repetition with difference of the core skills. You’ll also get a more motivating sense of the purpose for learning. Every day is now structured around solving a common problem or moving toward a value or goal. After an introduction to the core skills, you will progress through managing your emotions, your connections with others, your limited resources, and your stress. Then you’ll consider how to make the most of negotiation and collaboration; influence, and continuing self-directed learning and development.

Why it’s hard to practice (and why you should do it anyway)

There are wins. There is the moment when you do something for the hundredth time and get a better result. There is the moment when getting the same result over and over gives you the confidence that you’ll sink the big shot when the game is on the line. There are small, satisfying steps toward mastery. But you have to practice to get to those wins. You have to be prepared to overcome inertia and do it before it feels good.

When purpose kicks in

Purpose is not a panacea, and it doesn’t always change the cost of the behaviours it motivates. But it does remind you that each situation, each moment, is tied to a bigger picture. That bigger frame manages stress (it doesn’t eliminate it) and provides a pathway out of the cubicle and back into the whole of your life. When the environment is warm and supportive, you can drift. When it’s suddenly difficult, purpose helps you keep the boat steady and navigate.

A better way to learn

We’re changing for three reasons. The first is simply that we don’t feel we can teach people to make change happen unless we are making change happen in and for our own community. We need to walk our talk. The second is that we need to help people understand what we do in our courses. It’s not enough to speak marketing or to speak NLP, we need to use language that is both familiar and meaningful to everyone who comes looking for something at NLP Canada Training. And the third is that the science of learning has changed over the past twenty years. It’s not enough to train as we were trained. We need to train the way the brain learns.
