Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for anyone who wants to better understand how they learn, or who supports learning, communication or capability at work, including:

  • Leaders and emerging leaders

  • HR, L&D and instructional designers

  • Trainers, facilitators, coaches and mentors

  • WHS, safety and compliance professionals

  • People who verify competency or deliver inductions

  • Anyone who runs meetings, briefings, toolbox talks or helps others apply new skills

Learning is integral to every job – but have you explored how you and others learn most effectively?

The Learning About Learning workshop helps you understand how learning really happens, so you can design, deliver and support learning that works in real workplace situations.

If you are responsible for designing, teaching, coaching, leading or supporting learning in your organisation, or if traditional learning methods have never quite worked for you, this workshop is designed with you in mind.

In this practical one-day Learning About Learning workshop, we explore how learning really happens – beyond traditional methods – and what this means for workplace learning and development, leadership and safety.

This workshop is not about lectures or textbooks. It is about understanding your own unique way of learning and using that knowledge to help yourself, your team and others around you.

Engaging, practical and insightful, you will explore the natural cycle of learning we all go through and strengthen your ability to learn, communicate and support others to apply new skills at work.

You will also discover how to design, deliver and support learning in ways that cater for different learning preferences – whether you are creating training, running inductions, verifying competency, coaching team members, leading meetings or helping people apply new skills on the job.

Workshop participant feedback
“I discovered not only things about learning but also a lot about myself. Loved it!”

 

Workshop participant feedback
“4MAT® is far superior to any other framework I’ve used before. I now feel empowered to effectively actually design learning programs and experiences, rather than relying on bits and pieces of theory/information I had scavenged over time.”

Workshop participant feedback
“The workshop actually exceeded my expectations. I truly had never thought about the diversity in learning styles to such a deep level and the importance of designing for inclusion of these.”

Workshop participant feedback
“The way I will look at learning will change. The way I apply learning in both my professional and personal life will change.”

Workshop participant feedback
“I now see and understand learning not only from my own preferences, but through the preferences of others. This will shift my management approach, and the ongoing design of our programs.”

How does the 1-day Learning About Learning workshop work?

Before the workshop, you’ll complete two short online diagnostic tools used by more than half a million people worldwide. These give you a personalised snapshot of how you prefer to learn, process information and make sense of new ideas. You’ll then use these insights throughout the workshop.

You’ll then learn:

  • How to make learning easier for yourself and those in your team, and achieve knowledge and skill transfer.

  • Why emotions and past experiences shape how you learn, and are key in creating relevance.

  • Simple ways to break down information so it is easy to understand and apply.

  • How to structure training sessions for maximum impact.

  • Practical ways to train, coach and verify competency while accommodating different learning preferences and confirming genuine understanding.

  • How to apply the 4MAT® system to instructional design, teamwork, coaching and leadership.
