appropriate commit
to becoming
'unconsciously
competent' at the

relevance of the skill
the person is
therefore also aware
of their deficiency in
this area, ideally by
attempting or trying
to use the skill
the person realises
that by improving
their skill or ability
in this area their
effectiveness will

level of skill is
required for their
own competence
the person ideally
makes a
commitment to learn
and practice the new
skill, and to move to
the 'conscious
competence' stage
