Learning Happens When……

Real learning happens ……….

• When you are intentional about learning
• When you ask questions to get to the WHY of things (and then to what and how)
• When you carry an open frame of mind that is receptive
• When you enjoy the process of learning without getting too anxious about the results and goals,
• When you execute, iterate, and test your hypothesis
• When you reflect deeply on your experiences
• When you surround yourself with passionate learners, mentors, and coaches (and be a part of a learning community)
• When you collect, synthesize, and process information from varied sources
• When you solve interesting problems
• When you overcome the fear of making mistakes
• When you think critically
• When you Unlearn (let go of the old ways of thinking and doing)
• When you are generous enough to share what you know, teach, coach, and mentor others
• When you are comfortable with the inherently ambiguous nature of learning (and the ability to hold two contrasting thoughts without being judgmental)
• When you believe that self-directed and self-initiated learning is the best way to learn (for a lifetime)
