How do we learn?

I’m a continuous learner – insert eye roll here. It’s true though. I love to learn and do research. It keeps my mind sharp, my skills growing, and my conversation interesting. How do I learn though? For me, reading and then discussing is the best way. Of course, putting it into action solidifies it for me. I think that’s why I do formal learning opportunities where we’re given things to read and then we discuss them in a safe environment. I can ask silly questions without fear of judgment.

So, then I would say my learning style is first visual (reading), then auditory (group discussions). Internalizing it though is definitely kinesthetic (putting it into action, hands-on activity).

What’s important about knowing your own learning style?

What’s important about knowing the styles of your team members as a leader?

How do your team members learn well?

What’s the purpose of knowing that?

How do you find out?

Oh dear, I’m stacking questions. A no-no for coaches. Take each question individually because each one will give you additional information.

Lastly, how will you put the answers to these questions into action?
