You can unlock learning with truth… the best solution to any problem is knowing the TRUTH, but…
“A BIG enough lie, told often enough, is seen as truth.”
From the struggles we have with technology to the need for more, a search for the truth is where we start any training.
It’s a little funny to me houw concepts in technical understaning are tied to a big idea, like truth. When we begin a session, I first ask people to tell me about themselves and their situation. It’s enlightening.
“How can I help you learn X today? What do you want to achieve? What are your goals? What have you tried?”
I ask, and then I listen.
Almost always I encounter a false belief, a total failure to plan, or a faulty understanding about the nature of the problem. An error in understanding, or a false or limiting belief in the person can lead to real confusion.
Once we address one error in belief, then learning starts to seep in as wrong ideas unravel themselves.
The moment when wrong ideas unravel and a person gets the “Aha!” look in their eye—an exciting tone in their voice—that is when I know they have made a breakthrough!
That “Aha!” moment… that’s what I love about teaching, coaching, or training.
My hope and my goal is that you won’t need my help again for the same problem. We’ve revealed the error—the block to understanding. Now your own journey of learning and experience can move forward.
The funny thing about teaching technology such as Photography (for example), is that I end up teaching basic concepts that people have simply overlooked, didn’t consider, or misunderstood. The change in thinking impacts other areas in their life as well.
