Maybe youโve spent a few days cocooned away immersed in learning about yourself, new concepts, and new ideas ๐ด. Youโre feeling inspired and full of purpose, and you return to business as usual the next dayโฆ
๐ญ Wow, lots of emailsโฆย
๐ญHow can I even explain the impact to my colleagues?ย
๐ญI just want to get started now on making so many changes!
๐ญIs what I learned relevant to what I need to do at this moment?
๐ญHow can I carry on the momentum?
๐ญHow do I find time to reflect on what I learned, let alone make changes?
I recently came across an insightful article fromย Brenda Steinbergย &ย Michael Watkinsย that made me smile- spot on title-ย https://lnkd.in/desGHSKm
On the provider and programme design side, there's a huge amount we can do to ensure learnings are impactful, relevant, and carry over in terms of design, measurement, and impact (that's a whole other postโmaybe next week!).

Here are some of the article suggestions, plus one of my own:
๐ข ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: Your colleagues may be curious. Think about what you want to communicate and share in advance. What messages or key takeaways do you want to share with your team? Where do you need support? Where would you like to make changes? Similarly, communicate your intentions clearly. Be candid about your ideas for change and involve others.
๐โโ๏ธ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐:ย You may come back wanting to make changes right away, but prioritising and pacing yourself is important!ย
๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค: Stay connected to those you went through the programme with, it can be a great place for accountability and sharing learnings.ย
๐ค ๐๐๐ค๐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ: Often a lot is covered, and hopefully there is space for reflection. I still like to use a reflective learning model to structure my learning post programme:ย
- ๐๐ก๐๐ญ: Descriptive, what did you learn?
- ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ:ย What impact did it have on you? What was the effect?ย
- ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ: What will you carry going forward? What will change?ย
This article is both inspiring and practical. Breakthrough leadership trainingย offers the perfect platform for developing future-ready leadership skills.
