This is further to my last post on ‘Learning Zone’. I ran another workshop in Dubai last week. I had a bigger Aha on the piece of ‘How Learning happens’ A few things / thoughts coming across my mind last week:
‘How comfortable are they?’ – An observer in the workshop asked me this question in the middle of the class. It did make me think. I thought the learners were rather comfortable. But I was not sure what I could do to raise their discomfort. The observers did kindly suggest a few good ideas. People will naturally feel uncomfortable when they:
· Disclose about themselves (especially the ‘dark’ side) e.g. sharing personal failure in leadership
· Give feedback to others e.g. telling fellow learners how much they trust each other
