EP 17 — TIP 2: “How To Engrave a New Skill”

From Daniel Coyle’s The Talent Code In this episode, Petrus and Charles unpack Daniel Coyle’s powerful idea from The Talent Code called the Engraving Method — a simple but transformative way to start learning any new skill. Coyle explains that top talent “hotbeds” around the world don’t begin by talking, reading instructions, or jumping straight into action. Instead, they begin by watching and listening with deep intensity until the brain forms a high-definition mental blueprint of what excellence looks and feels like. They explore examples like: Petrus and Charles show how this applies to sport, parenting, and personal growth: And here’s the big takeaway they emphasise: 15 minutes a day is enough. Just 15 minutes of focused “engraving” — watching, listening, or replaying the moves of someone excellent — begins building the neural blueprint needed for rapid improvement. Whether it’s tennis technique, public speaking, writing, or music, the formula is the same: Watch closely. Listen deeply. Feel the movement. Then repeat. Daily. Small. Uninterrupted. Your brain will do the rest. Tune in as Petrus and Charles unpack how parents and kids can use this approach to build skills faster, more effectively, and with far less frustration.
