  • Empowering Employees to Self-Educate

    I contend that fostering a culture and infrastructure that allows employees to self-educate to the greatest extent possible is the golden ring of internal training nowadays.

  • How to Develop and Offer Training for All Learners

    Medium

    "Learning models and theories are simply frameworks for expanding our understanding about how people learn best and deciding upon the optimum strategies for empowering that learning. These are starting points. To assume any one of them is ideal or superior to others is folly and will lead to mostly disappointed customers."

    "Add into this mix the corporate reality of constrained budgets and resources available to create and deploy customer training and it means guessing at a single customer training approach is a potentially expensive experiment that, if it fails, leaves you with unhappy customers unable to use your product and therefore not as likely to be enthusiastic about purchasing from you anew."

    "There is a better way."

    All education is ultimately self-education. If you are reading this you are probably a motivated learner and already know the importance of self-education. Perhaps you are looking to embark on a path of more learning in your life. Maybe you own a business or manage people and want to improve learning within your organization. The Art of Self-Education can offer you inspiration.

    Learning is ideally a lifelong process. Good self-education skills are key to establishing a life of learning to improve your personal and professional life in profound ways. Learning is the foundation for most of what makes our lives good. Whether you want to improve your critical thinking, pursue hobbies and passionate interests, or have a career that is fulfilling and lucrative, self-education can help you gain the necessary knowledge, skills and wisdom.

    I have consciously pursued self-education all of my life. Most of what I have accomplished I attribute to good self-education skills. I have managed the learning function in many business and corporate settings. I have done a lot of research on how we best learn when the course of our education is left to our own needs, interests and life paths.

    I want everyone to use self-education to improve themselves. And that's why I wrote this book.
