Learning something new or different always presents challenges to our assumptions and what we have been told in the past and the experiences we have had.

So lets get your context before we begin?

Any new learning provides opportunities for failure, resentment, embarrassment and SUCCESS!

In fact if we don't make mistakes in the LEARNING process there is some theory that says we are probably not doing our best learning.

My story
Your stories

- our personal learning judgments can be overcomplicated and very much influenced by our previous experiences
- personal perspectives and peers assessments over time may stop people from exploring new ideas and learnings
