Learning Philosophy
8 essential beliefs guide how I design and advise clients
Action
The end goal of learning is not knowledge but action.
​
Small Wins
Small wins can create big change.
​
​
Ecosystems
Learning happens in an ecosystem that both impacts and is impacted by change.​
Practice
One-time learning isn't enough. Spaced repetition & mixed practice create deep learning.
Progress
Progress is not linear.
​
​
Emotion
Emotions impact learning. Design for experience.
​​
​
Feedback
Timely feedback is essential to learning. We do not learn in a vacuum.
Performance
Opt to support performance in real-time whenever possible rather than train for recall.
