Learning In Action • What is one interpersonal challenge you are facing in your day-to-day work/experience? • What challenges in your personal life is similar? • What actions did you take to address the situation? What skills did you use? • What did you learn to translate to your day-to-day challenge?

  10. Matching Experiences to Skills & Development

  11. Your Experience & Skills Matrix

  12. L=P+Q+R Learning=Performance+Questioning+Reflection

  13. REFLECTION

  14. Good questions prompt reflection • Allow us to reflect, to listen, to be creative, and to learn • Give us time and space needed to stand back, reflect, unfreeze, and gain new perspectives • Deliberate questions to clarify, to open up new avenues, to unpack, to offer ideas and insights, to learn • Before solutions, allow us to diverge from the current thought and look at a different more systemic perspective rather than converge too quickly • Seeds of solutions reside in questions

  15. Action Learning uses reflection and the cycle of learning Stage 1: Having an experience L = P + Q + R Stage 4: Applying the learning Planning the next steps Stage 2: Reflecting on and analysing the experience Stage 3 : Concluding from the experience (Kolb 1984)

  16. Coaching Live!

  17. Key principles to remember • No learning without action, no sober and deliberate action without learning • We learn best when we directly involved in our own learning about a current life situation • When we choose a learning experience, we usually learn more readily • Applying that learning to our ambitions and goals, makes it more personally meaningful and of greater benefit to our vision

  18. Taking the Learning Home • Based on your leadership ambitions, what skills and experience do you need? • What roles, relationships, activities and responsibilities, even challenges are you willing to take on in the near future? (Remember: you do not always need to succeed but you need to be willing to learn) • Seek support from people who can provide feedback, give moral support, act as a sounding board. Use a coach or mentor. • Monitor progress and celebrate success.
