Growing up, this type of experience made no sense to me. I also played music, but suffered from tremendous stage fright. I hated performing. What didn't make sense to me was that Mike looked like he was actually having fun. One day I asked Mike how he got himself to play in front of people and how he dealt with the fear. He looked confused and asked me 'What fear?' Mike explained that he loved performing and that he felt most like himself when he was in front of a crowd.
The fact that two people can have such a different experience of the world has always fascinated me. Modeling is a process that helps you discover what these differences are. Modeling is the process of learning how people do and experience the things they do. There are many different ways to model and as a result, there are many different types of models. One way to think about a model is as a description of how someone gets a particular result. A map is a model of the structure of roads. A recipe describes the steps to take to cook a particular dish. A good model will show you how to get a particular result or how to access a skill or behavior.
