#86 Accelerated Learning, part 2

In this podcast, we bring back the theme of accelerated learning that we started way back in one of our first episodes, now approaching it from a totally new angle and with the new learnings and experiences that we ourselves have learned in the meantime:

• What is learning?
  • What takes time in learning is “not getting it” (Marshall Thurber)
  • “Phase change,” or transformational learning, in contrast to “slow learning”
  • The tipping point in learning
• Examples of accelerated learning
  • Learning NLP techniques – finding the bigger structure
  • Ballroom dancing – exploring the space of mistakes
  • Strategy to execution
• What people remember?
  • The first thing, the last thing, and any strongly emotional moments in between
  • Structuring learning in smaller chunks
  • Segmented learning
  • Constructing stories
• Examples of learning through stories
• Different kinds of learning
  • Academic
  • Experiential
• Games – making learning fun
• Closing remarks
  • Making games on the fly
  • Look for humor
  • Learning as new ways to have fun
  • “Mischief accomplished!”
