DAME JUDI DENCH “I think that learning at work is

something that we probably think we all do, but sometimes we get stuck in a rut and,

without realizing it, forget to learn something new and different. It's good to ask questions, be

inquisitive and learn things as we go about our daily business.”

Page 19: Learning At Work Prersentation

What This Means

We don’t put effort in learning at work.

Many opportunities may have gone without even knowing it.

Learning Cycle

Page 22: Learning At Work Prersentation

Learner Types Activist - ‘what if’

like to leap on a bike and have a go. They learn by doing.

Reflectors - ‘why?’ like to think about things before having a go, and to learn by

watching other people try to ride bikes.

Theorists - ‘what’ like to understand the theory and to have a clear grasp of the

concept before having a go.

Pragmatists - ‘How?’ like to have some practical tips and techniques from someone

with experience before having a go.

Activist force yourself to be more spontaneous by:

trying new and different things without lots of careful preparation;

initiating conversations with a wide cross-section of people and

producing ideas off-the-top-of the-head even if they seem silly or half-baked.
