Simon Carley has us asking ourselves some confronting questions about our abilities in his SMACC Chicago talk ‘Are You as Good as You Think?’. Carley has us delve into our confidence, competencies and whats makes for a good self learning environment. Initially Carley asks how good we think we are at driving? He then sites studies of Australian and European driver responses stating that 93% of Aussies and 69% europeans rate themselves as above average drivers. In using the example Carley suggests as individuals we are not particularly good at rating ourselves, while inexperienced people tend to rate themselves more highly then experienced people,  calling this illusory superiority cognitive bias. Carley asked the question since you can’t have awesome without average, how do we measure ourselves?. He then talks us through the following tools and processes to establish better self learning and teaching processes; Reflection Diaries - revisit it (clinically and physically), follow up.
