This came off the back of a comment with

@Mira Bradshaw

and seeing her experience in real time. Thank you for the inspiration, Mira, and April version of Mira too.

I forgot to mention that

@Don Roy

- Do you use loops? 🔁 post, further compounded to me writing this post too.

Attached is a visual representation of Kolb's Learning Cycle beside the Competency Ladder you climb (and slide back down) as you learn ICM. This demonstrates

@Jake Van Clief

's ethos of learning by doing, and in turn gaining competency. As Thomas Edison said: "Vision without execution is hallucination." You cannot theorise your way up the ladder, you climb each rung by doing the loop.

So if you're finding this hard, awkward, or you're getting stuck: that's normal. It's meant to feel uncomfortable. The more you go through the cycle, the more you progress up the ladder, one rung at a time.

I did try to render it in the post but no joy, so attached as image.

Here is a link to a graphical representation. Personally I prefer the attached image layout.
