In this episode, JD Dillon argues that the key to effective learning lies in accessibility and relevance. Whether you're a frontline worker or a corporate executive, the ability to access timely, reliable information and support is critical. JD’s framework suggests a shift toward continuous learning that aligns with the natural ways individuals acquire and apply knowledge.

I have had an amazing internal discussion today and am putting it here so you can make use of it in the week to follow. As a corporate trainer, deep work has evolved into my seasoned ally, a silent force shaping impact and deep learning in my workshops. As a corporate trainer and L&D practitioner, I often find myself navigating the intricate balance of delivering workshops that not only educate but inspire lasting transformation. Today, I invite you behind the scenes to witness how the principles of Deep Work by Cal Newport have become key for my workshop design. 1. Distraction-Free Learning Zones: Creating an environment conducive to deep work is paramount. Before each workshop, I meticulously set the stage—a distraction-free zone where minds can immerse deeply in the learning experience. From silent zones to minimizing digital interruptions, every detail is curated for optimum focus. 2. Time Blocking for Engaged Learning: Time blocks as a balance for flow are a key element of my workshop agenda. Each segment is a deliberately carved block, dedicated to a specific skill or concept. This ensures not only an engaged audience but also a collective deep dive into the subject matter. 3. Prioritizing High-Impact Content: The essence of deep work lies in prioritizing high-impact tasks. When designing workshops, Newport's perspective guides the selection of content—ensuring that every concept explored is not just informative but has a profound, enduring impact on the participants' professional journey. 4. Engaging Deep Work Exercises: Workshops aren't about imparting information; they're about creating experiences for learning and deep thinking on the subject. Participants engage in exercises, creating an immersive space where they can apply newly acquired skills, fostering a deeper understanding that transcends theoretical knowledge. A challenge that I am taking and extending to you too- This week, experience a focused, distraction-free learning environment where every moment is crafted for maximum impact. Try to churn out the learning from the various tasks/ projects you work on. Get deep, that's where innovation happens.

In today's AI-driven landscape, human skills still reign supreme. 👑 Communication, leadership, collaboration, and creativity are the game-changers that fuel business success. And nearly every role (no matter how technical) demands human interaction, making relationship-building non-negotiable. But how do you teach these skills? Collaborative learning embeds human interaction directly into the training process and is essential for building up those uniquely human skills that set us apart from AI. We get to practice the art of communication, understand different viewpoints, and flex our teamwork muscles. And now, we're sharing the secrets to success in creating effective collaborative learning experiences. 🤫 Join Alex Khurgin and Caelan Cooney, MAIOP on March 5 to learn how to upskill your workforce in today's most critical skills: https://lnkd.in/enCDrF7t

🎙️Learning in Today’s Work Environment 🎙️ - “So there's just a reality that a traditional approach to learning and enablement has not matched for a long time the way work is done, but is increasingly challenging, especially given people's perspective and focus right now around doing more with less or trying to do better with less. So we're reliant on learning something new or focusing on learning something, because we're all constantly learning. Learning is part of work just like it's part of life. The question is, are we learning the right things? Are we focusing on learning the right things? Are we sometimes learning the wrong things? How do we make sure people are focused on the right things that are going to be most beneficial to themselves and the organization without tearing people away or requiring time that people simply don't have?” This episode of Qonversations provides insights by JD Dillon, author of "The Modern Learning Ecosystem: A New L& D Mindset for the Ever-Changing Workplace." JD's perspective challenges the traditional norms of corporate education, advocating for a more integrated and human-centric approach to workplace learning. In the discussion with host Brian Gorman, JD emphasizes that learning shouldn’t disrupt work but seamlessly integrate into it, much like how we navigate everyday life with readily available information and tools. In addition, JD forecasts significant shifts ahead in the realm of learning and development. As organizations grapple with technological advancements like AI, the focus will pivot from mere adoption to maximizing utility and integrating these innovations meaningfully into everyday workflows. This evolution underscores the importance of not just technical skills but also emotional intelligence—a key factor in navigating the human-AI interface. There is a crucial need for companies to invest strategically in skill-building programs. This proactive approach is essential to bridge existing skill gaps and empower employees at all levels to thrive in dynamic work environments. 🔗 Tune in to the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3WhPJT5  #training #servantleadership #mentoring #horizontaldevelopment #verticaldevelopment

So, it will be #Singapore next week on 9/10th May where we will delve deep into how to learn from accidents and non-events.    This is a compact course with a series of exercises, micro-experiments, conversation mapping and an experiential walk to illustrate how we humans learn, unlearn, relearn and make decisions.    The hardest thing in this course is not learning but in realising how much we need to unlearn and relearn when past experience comes in the way of moving forward in life.   On day 2 (10th May) we will end the workshop with a #semiotic walk (experiential learning) where we will practice how to feel the risk and make sense of the world around us. This little exercise on its own improves the power of our observation and helps us realise the limits of our imagination.   Looking forward to two days of dissonance, fun, play, activity, learning, unlearning, relearning and realising how all of us are so caught up in our own little world.    All we need is a whiteboard, coloured pens, and a desire to learn.   Participants will receive a free copy of my new book, a pocket guide, a manual and a set of practical tools and methods to investigate accidents and non-events.    It takes less than an hour to get started on the whiteboard (very little theory) and a lifetime to master the art of listening, learning and mapping events.    There are still a few places remaining if you wish to join:   https://lnkd.in/dANjaQ6w   #singapore #socialpsychologyofrisk #workshop #iCue #learning #accidentinvestigation #semiotics #learningfromaccidents Siddharth Mahajan Kunal Nakra, FNI Hittesh Gupta Anna Ruszczyńska, MNI Capt.
