Been racing around the world with the team recently hence
lack of updates but here’s something to keep you going for now.
Is it better to put your learners away for a week or expose
them to a series of small bitesize chunks over a number of weeks or
months... mmmm.
Opening the batting in a consistently brilliant fashion is
the guru of learning Dr Seb Bailey from the Mind Gym. Here’s a starter for 10:
my thoughts are. You learn not what the lecture told you but
what it caused you to do.
If it’s content (regardless being 90mins or 9 days) failed
to engage you (for whatever reason) then you’ll learn that you can attend
workshops and check your email without being spotted, think negatively and
daydream about running up to the MTV beach house...
Nail the causing piece and you’ve got it cracked.
In a shameless piece of trumpet blowing, we worked with the
CEO and team of JWT MENA last week on unlocking business issues that had
rattled around for a while. It took 3 days. These guys worked day and night. They
rocked. Like Aerosmith BUT they also realised very strongly it is their immediate
action after the workshop that seals the learning.
For me nothing happens during a learning intervention when
the learner is conscious of his/her experience in the classroom. It’s when you
pass it on AFTER the event you realise what has been acquired.
At the point of transfer you aint you; it’s like suspended
animation. And like a CD on pause, 90mins or 3 days can pass instantly when you’re
in that status.
Now,
Go think.
