Caught this post<\/a> from Jim Logan<\/a> on “Making Sense of What, Why and How.”\u00a0 He’s right and I think there is one additional point to me made; how does experience factor in on learning.<\/p>\n

Much instruction today comes from our belief that a “discipline” can be dispensed in one swoop (classroom, seminar, etc.).\u00a0 Reality says, as humans, we’ve all come to learning with a great deal of baggage…good and bad.\u00a0 This baggage weighs heavy, but we’d never admit that.\u00a0 For example, a childhood full of criticism renders many ineffective…even for those who have outward signs of success.\u00a0 We humans are good at wearing masks and playing the game of “I’m OK, you’re OK.”\u00a0 Ever wonder why many organizations have a leadership vacuum?<\/p>\n

Experience will allow the learner to figure out much on their own.\u00a0 Simply because experience is a very giving teacher.\u00a0 Sort of like some organizations incenting people when they make mistakes.\u00a0 Experience will teach you, if you let it, like no other form of education.\u00a0 Experience is REAL!<\/p>\n

Some years ago when my wife shouldered the majority of responsibility in raising our kids, I could be found telling many people how tough a job she had.\u00a0 I did this out of respect, love and encouragement.\u00a0 But it wasn’t until I had to take her role (primary caregiver) on that I truly understood what she did and experienced.\u00a0 It was only through experience that I learned.<\/p>\n

What say you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
