In Part I of Episode 7, my recurring guest, the phenomenal Keith Fong and I take you to a chat that will be worth your time!
Learning is an essential activity for any individual or organization; it is through learning that you develop skills you don’t currently possess or develop a higher level of competency in a given skill. Yet, one wonders why conventional training methods organizations typically utilize (classroom-type, lecture-type or through consultants) don’t deliver on their promise of making the participants competent in the subject matter.
Episode summary:
