I’ve long held the belief that those who help others learn and develop, are natural learners themselves. Whether it be taking on a personal challenge that taxes the brain, or learning a whole new skill, we seek out new experiences to help us understand how to make sense of things, which in turn helps us understand how others learn too.
One of the things I’ve most enjoyed learning this year has been how to paint. Well, that’s a bit of a stretch… I’ve learnt how to follow instructions for how to paint to get the basics, and then gone off on my own tangent to add some personality. (Hence the boldly coloured quizzical chickens I recently painted!) On reflection, I think this is how I design my training sessions. Whether it’s helping managers to manage their people better or enabling L&D professionals to add another method to their own tool kit. My approach is to create a solid foundation, but then encourage some intentional tangent exploring so people can make it work for them. I believe this approach is more likely to enable learners to get the most from sessions as they can apply it to their own needs. I see my approach as the bridge between ‘one size fits all’ and ‘information overload!’ How do you learn best? - * - * - * - * - To find out more about Nikie's Managers and Trainers development workshops and programmes, head to https://www.curiouslighthouse.co.uk/
