Coaching. Mindfulness. Consciousness is the basis to ‘master’ a skill to become part of your ‘being’..

After several group coaching sessions in efficiency, people appreciated that I regularly reflect back to well-being.

To me mindfulness, consciousness is the basis to ‘master’ every skill so it becomes part of your ‘being’..

Knowledge is nothing without action.
Therefor to go from knowledge to action, knowledge has to pass the stage of ‘consciousness’ first so it becomes effective. Knowing is not enough! To know and to ‘master’ is a different level of ‘being’.

Our main focus as a coach, is on your personal well-being and your well-being at work. We help you to ‘be’, to master your ‘self’ and to ‘master’ skills.

The ‘mastering’ of skills, contributes to your consciousness, your own well-being and the well-being of others. We are all interdependent.”

Workshops and trainings differ from coaching and the focus is to inform or update your knowledge and understanding on the different subjects.
Coaching is focused on you mastering your self and your skills so you can ‘be’.

We believe that consciousness is the basis of everything. You can not be a successful entrepreneur and not be conscious.

Consciousness is about who you ‘are’, about your ‘being’ in relation to your self and to others. Our mindfulness page on our website will be updated regularly.

At DOUTTI we focus on skills!

1. Cognitive skills are the basic abilities we use to think, study, and learn. That is why they are also referred to as subject based skills. This category includes literacy and numeracy skills, and the abilities to understand and solve abstract problems through reasoning. Cognitive skills are usually learned at primary and secondary school levels. Reading, writing, comprehension and basic language skills.

2. Non-cognitive skills are personality traits and characteristics that manifest across social, emotional, behavioural, attitudinal, and other domains. This category covers work habits like effort, discipline, and motivation; behavioural/personal traits like leadership, communication, confidence, and teamwork; and physical characteristics like strength, dexterity, and endurance. Behavioural traits are sometimes referred to as “soft skills.” Non-cognitive skills are most often acquired from parents, communities, and on-the-job training.

3. Technical or trade skills are amalgams of specific knowledge and the relevant cognitive and non-cognitive skills that combine to help workers accomplish job-specific tasks. This category includes skills like equipment use and repair, product design, production techniques, computer skills, marketing, budgeting, market research, and business management. Technical and trade skills are primarily learned through tertiary education, formal technical and vocational education, and training programs and apprenticeships.

Stephan Doukhopelnikoff Doutti. Training Skills

Cognitive, non-cognitive, and technical skills can all be developed through either in-school or non- school educational and training models. Or a combination of the two?

In-school models are programs taught in a school environment. In-school models are considered formal education and training because they follow systematic and structured curricula with precise learning objectives. In-school models are often provided by governments as well as for-profit private education and training providers.
Non-school models are programs taught outside of schools. These programs include lecture- based trainings (for example, short-term technical trainings offered by non-profit organisations or private training providers); on-the-job trainings like formal internships; and non-formal training structures such as apprenticeships. Non-formal training refers to learning skills through the experiences of others, and is not usually associated with official certification. Non-formal training is often provided by employers, family members, or NGOs in collaboration with communities or other organisations.

Do you copy or ‘are’ you a Master? Mastering a skill is more than just knowing.

Du savoir ou savoir faire au savoir être — Mastering a skill goes further than just ‘knowing’.

Those who stand on the shore will never become captain of the boat. The same with your life.
This morning I was giving a coaching session here in Bujumbura, Burundi on effective communication.So I explain that many people listen to respond rather than to understand.
The consequence is that most people stay unconscious and that there are so many conflicts. They learn to imitate, to copy, not to master a new skill. Listening to understand, to learn, implies deep listening. Some people can live their whole Life ‘thinking’ they master, while they are just imitating… It is when the student masters what he is taught that he has space to improve him self and improve what is taught to him. When you ‘master’ something, the skill or competence becomes part of you. It is not outside of you anymore. Also it is not just knowledge anymore. When you just imitate, you don’t master. You stay in the unconscious ‘zone’. In that zone, once your teacher is gone, you can’t copy anymore, you become blocked.
Another student asks for more books to read on the subject. My answer: How many books you need to read (to become a master)? Another student answers: “Stop reading start practicing” 😂 Exactly. What are you with knowledge when you don’t act on it? And again. Reading without understanding is just copying… You can be very knowledgeable but still be unconscious or unaware. Until it becomes part of you and you master to improve. That’s the bridge from unconsciousness to consciousness. I like the French version. Du savoir au savoir faire au savoir être. When knowledge becomes part of your being. Some people consider it more important to know who said what than to understand the importance of what is said… Everybody has the choice who ever he wants to be. An open mind doesn’t place limits. An open mind learns continuously from whoever in whatever situation. Don’t pretend to be a master when you just copy… Know that authenticity can only be copied. To be authentic is the choice of an open mind.
It reminds me of the days when I was learning to sail: Those who stand on the shore will never become captain of the boat. Luckily.

Back to effective communication:
You can not talk to your boat and ask it to sail by it self. They same with your life. You live it or you are lived. 😂🙏
