Learning by becoming - the art and science of becoming expert and finding ourselves

In times of rapid change and economic stress, organizations are caught in multiple binds, all of which call for powerful learning. For instance:

Change in every sphere from organizational shifts to the flood of research, calls for constant learning, and yet resources for training and development are cut, time is limited, professional development skills may be lacking, personnel may not be expert, self-directed, learners, and many courses offer training that does not transfer to the work place.

Organizations need to be productive and respond rapidly to change, and yet continuous forced adaptations are extremely stressful, and excess stress hampers communication, stifles innovation, inhibits essential learning and reduces productivity,

I offer the following services to deal with these energy sapping dilemmas by capitalizing on how the brain/mind learns naturally.

I work with organizations to:

develop programs on the art and science of open-minded expertise, so that participants acquire state-of-the-art strategies for deep learning.

build powerful learning communities so that personnel are better able to work together to process and learn from and deal with change, new information and their personal experiences.

design instructional programs and create materials and processes to support novice or inexpert presenters, as well as provide advanced training for skillful facilitators.

introduce a "parallel curriculum" for developing soft skills by showing people how to learn more about themselves and others from any experience.

conduct programs on leader as coach, so that leaders and managers at every level are better equipped to help others learn.
