There is no evidence that people learn better when they receive information in their preferred learning style

As a Talent Development leader who previously designed and facilitated Train the Trainer sessions, Global Training programs, and refresher trainings with the idea that my Team Members were either visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners, this challenged everything I used to believe.

I am so excited to switch my focus to curriculum as the driving force for selected modes of teaching, and become versed in which particular style helps learners engage with and retain knowledge of specific content.

The seven essential conditions apply to all digital age learners, from creative communicators to innovative designers. Every learner can implement these conditions to impact organizational and systematic change, and as an HRD professional, I believe these will greatly help me with implementing change management.

In order to cultivate a "yet sensibility," it is vital to challenge learners, provide the support of scaffolding to help learners overcome these challenges, encourage a growth mindset, and engage in diversity and inclusivity work to prevent against the silencing of identities. As a leader, I love the idea of supporting my team by pushing them past thinking "I can't do this" or "I haven't done this" with the addition of a simple "...yet."

With my focus on adult learners in a training capacity, I loved learning that adults must see the benefit of learning tasks to fully engage, and that engaging in lifelong learning activities is interconnected with general well-being.

With this knowledge, I am committed to encouraging my team of trainers to always share the "whys" behind their  training plans, and to share the benefits of their lessons to intrinsically motivate their audience of learners.

When someone learns and gets positive feedback along the way, the learning journey accelerates ... you can learn if you believe you can learn

Understanding the powerful impact of a growth mindset on learning, I have been consciously acknowledging and praising not just the end result, but the work in progress of my team as they continuously create and innovate. At home, I have been encouraging my first grader in the same way, supporting the work he does on his homework (and first book report!) and reminding him that he is capable of doing anything he puts his mind to.
