Your reason to be here is also your biggest challenge. Extracting value by translating tools & techniques back-to-the-work-place requires you to think of the actions & conversations you need to have with boss, colleagues, customers,
team•
Those actions starts with YOUR understanding SO tell me when my explanations are unclear, try-out the ideas in exercises, discuss mistakes so you learn from them
•
Course content is set to challenge existing beliefs & provide tools that may be new to you: Making mistakes is OK here –
it shows you are trying to push your existing limits•
Your confidence to apply learnings
generally links to how well your group does at the exercises -
Exercises only end after
you
have explored real-world use in the debriefs•
Your level of achievement improves with participation in team-work & debriefs that review, confirm, consolidate or correct understanding. Be Right Next Time!
•
I will go-the-extra-mile for you anyway I can but I can’t read minds SO ASK FOR WHAT EVER YOU NEED in class, in breaks, before & after the day. Don’t put-up with something I can fix
•
…Notes like these are Simon Value-Add I’ll happily email any significant ones to you [email protected]
Tell me if you need extra time to copy any or make notes•
If you are frequently first to answer then slow-down. WHEN you lose focus just ask for a break/ for a recap/ me to repeat, Not all slides deserve equal amounts of time
I think it is a shame that the valuable and powerfully descriptive words needed for good communication about projects have been stolen or marked non-pc by the insincere. So I will use them sincerely
They who think education is expensive have not yet
accounted what they pay for ignorance
