It's one of the reasons I'm so impressed with Darwin Gillett's <a href="http://www.noblebusinesssolutions.com/" rel="nofollow">Noble Enterprise</a>. He's found a great way to inspire others to be themselves, harness their unique talents and continue to grow both as individuals and members of an organization.

This is definitely the extreme case when it comes to learning. If you leave someone with an impression in themselves that they WANT to learn and WILL continue to learn on their own, that is the best type of learning that they can do. I know when I experienced that and I now feel that I continue to empower myself to learn and don't need anyone else to inspire that in me. I hope to pass that on to others as well, as its one of my greatest gifts! Lance, go for it Lance to be completely engaged in your learning with these sessions. Showing the enthusiasm for it and carrying through with actions from the courses will definitely make the training more effective. Look at lessons learned about HOW it was done and HOW you best learn it as well. Use that in the future to learn more. BTW, I hope you didn't mean it literally when you said you were in a training session RIGHT NOW?? Pay attention and stay engaged!!! I assume you are referring to the whole training series or program. Anyway, thanks a lot for the discussion and comments guys! I think I have some more articles on training to write!! Armen, thanks for the feedback!

When we meet, it's for four hours of learning. I went into this skeptical. But, after one session (and another coming up this week) I'm sold that this is a good thing. And it's good because it's not traditional learning. It's very much hands on and interactive. Small group exercises, and I really feel myself stepping out of my comfort zone. On the one hand, this is hard to do. On the other, once I have I really feel like true learning is going on. And I think myself and the others in the group are leaving each session with a new idea of what learning can be - and it's all positive. I think this goes well with your article about how we can empower others to learn - and part of that comes down to how we are taught.

The level of control needed for someone to get to the point where they can build others up is quite high. Also, I agree with the point brought up about methods currently being used to build/educate students, as the "lowest common denominator" thinking keeps results low.
