Full transcript

1. 0:00everything you do every choice you make
2. 0:03every decision in your training room
3. 0:05should be about how does this improve
4. 0:09the learning it's the only reason to do
5. 0:11anything once you walk through that door
6. 0:13whether it's drawing pictures using
7. 0:15humor getting people to do activities
8. 0:17asking questions everything is about
9. 0:20supporting the learning of your group
10. 0:22there's nothing else that's
11. 0:24important the reason I say it's quite
12. 0:26difficult sometimes to get general
13. 0:27principles is I find the more reading I
14. 0:29do the these days about
15. 0:31learning the more confusing the whole
16. 0:33thing gets because you come across a lot
17. 0:37of things like talk about learning
18. 0:38styles I'll talk about learning styles
19. 0:40in a while I don't talk about learning
20. 0:41styles anymore um because you learning
21. 0:44styles were the big thing at some point
22. 0:45everyone everyone sort of comes along
23. 0:47and suddenly think oh learning styles
24. 0:48people learn in all sorts of different
25. 0:49ways that's
26. 0:50interesting every model of learning
27. 0:52styles you'll ever come across there
28. 0:54will be somebody saying it's rubbish
29. 0:56that don't take any notes of
30. 0:58that and there's a whole IND now grown
31. 1:00up almost challenging every model of
32. 1:03learning style somebody will take it
33. 1:05apart and say well where's the basis for
34. 1:06that no scientific basis you can get to
35. 1:08a point where you're just so confused
36. 1:10think well I don't know what to do how
37. 1:11does this make any sense so I'm just
38. 1:13going to stick to what I think a fairly
39. 1:15practical things have generally accepted
40. 1:17and said what does that mean for you as
41. 1:19trainers there's a huge amount of
42. 1:21Interest these days in like I said brain
43. 1:23friendly learning and
44. 1:26Neuroscience and some of that is very
45. 1:28useful and helpful some of it isn't some
46. 1:32of it again if you look through some of
47. 1:33the forums on LinkedIn there's a lot of
48. 1:36discussion about development in
49. 1:37neuroscience and different parts of the
50. 1:39brain and what they do my question is
51. 1:41always how does that help me in a
52. 1:43practical sense I'm only interested in
53. 1:45that if it makes a difference what I can
54. 1:48do in a training room and help people to
55. 1:50learn more effectively I don't care that
56. 1:52you we the Corpus coloss is or what oh
57. 1:55how that all the frontal loes
58. 1:57particularly I'm not going to be a brain
59. 1:59surgeon I'm a trainer I just want people
60. 2:01to learn more effectively so is that
61. 2:03telling me something that's of practical
62. 2:05value and sometimes it isn't and one of
63. 2:07the reasons I like the cold cycle still
64. 2:10is that it's useful for Designing
65. 2:12training so a simple way to design
66. 2:14effective training is to try and see if
67. 2:16you've got all four parts of that cycle
68. 2:18built into your training session or
69. 2:20training event whatever it is so you've
70. 2:23got to build in some sort of experience
71. 2:25that people are doing the thing that
72. 2:26you're talking about if possible the
73. 2:29youve got to reflect on it You' got some
74. 2:32time for reflection some time to sort of
75. 2:34form theories and connections and think
76. 2:36about how that works and some time to
77. 2:39plan and think what does that mean for
78. 2:40me what am I going to do differently
79. 2:41next time all your training I would
80. 2:44suggest is about changing people's
81. 2:47behavior training I'll come back to this
82. 2:49when we talk about content training is
83. 2:51not about giving people
84. 2:54information it's about what they do with
85. 2:56that information how does it
86. 2:58change their behavior if it's not going
87. 3:00to change your behavior why do they need
88. 3:01the information everything of value that
89. 3:04happens again write this down this is
90. 3:06important um CU because I might forget
91. 3:08it again um and I want to put in my next
92. 3:10book every everything of value that
93. 3:13happens in the training room happens in
94. 3:15your learner
95. 3:17heads all the internal processes that's
96. 3:19where the learning takes place it's not
97. 3:22to do with what you're doing you you do
98. 3:25what you do to set up that internal
99. 3:27process and that's what's Happening Here
100. 3:29all this needs to be going on in their
101. 3:32heads the times at which you step step
102. 3:35back stop talking stop giving them stuff
103. 3:39and let them do that reflection is where
104. 3:41all that's where the money is if you
105. 3:43like that's that's where all the
106. 3:44important work is going on lots of
107. 3:47different ways you can use this speech
108. 3:49bubble out of
109. 3:50here thought bubble here God I because I
110. 3:54can't use it anymore now because
111. 3:56everybody's going to use it and people
112. 3:57be going no we've seen that
113. 4:00I've used this for lots of things he's
114. 4:02saying something she's thinking
115. 4:03something so introducing lots of
116. 4:05things yesterday I was doing this course
117. 4:08on sucessful meetings um so I had person
