Course methodology
When you put something into practice and then reflect on what you learned, that’s where the actual learning and integration happen. Creating repeatable habits and accountability with you and your team helps the concepts stick and become part of your culture.
There are multiple types of exercises to provide a multi-modal learning experience:
- Exercises where you reflect and meditate on the concepts
- Exercises where you participate in the forums with your peers
- Individual journal prompts and self-reflection through writing
- Live sessions with exercises and group exchanges in break-out rooms (Peer-to-peer learning)
- Use of a virtual collaboration board on Miro during the group live sessions
As a learner, you will engage with your peers and colleagues on the forums of the sessions. This is a collective knowledge format where social learning is encouraged. You will benefit from the networks you create with people that seek change like you.
Forums have rules to ensure psychological safety, diversity and inclusion, as well as maintain professional manners.
In addition to the short recommended readings for the week, we will also provide you with suggested articles and books if you want to go deeper and learn more about a concept we introduce.
