This is the foundational stage, where you grasp the basics, techniques, and knowledge necessary to perform the skill. It's about understanding what to do and how to do it.
At this stage, you shift from simply performing the skill to mastering how to learn it effectively. Here, the process itself becomes an art—learning becomes as valuable as the skill itself.
You start to reflect on your motivations, your approach to challenges, and what the journey reveals about you. It's less about the skill or even learning and more about uncovering personal truths, values, and strengths that emerge from your dedication to the process.
