How does Meaningful Trainings design?

First and foremost we learn.
By doing.
Everyday.
Joyfully, imaginatively and with a child-like curiosity and wonder.
We use what we've learned to serve our clients.
To really hear what you say...
We listen. We listen some more.
Then we ask questions.
Lots of questions.
About you.  Your objectives. Your organization. Your processes. Your expectations.
Like children do when seeking to understand - we ask questions.

Then we go to our chalkboard and create.
Using the proven resources of our experience, our stories along with:
Montessori Learning Philosophies
&
Peer Support Principles
From these timeless tools we develop
Meaningful Trainings materials & experiences.

All materials & experiences will:
1. Be tailored to your culture, mission & resources
2. Be effective, by your definition, not ours
3. Be consistent, scalable & durable
4. Provide a measurable effect

How we learn is not a mystery. Why we learn is even less so.
Meaningful Trainings bases its experiential learning engagements on the timeless processes of intrinsic motivation and peer support. Both leverage known human learning and skills development practices to achieve effective and sustainable growth.
It all begins with investigation.
What is it? Definitions. Exploration.
Comparison to current knowledge and experience.
Adult learning mirrors the early childhood process.
Adults engage with interest when concepts are simply presented in concrete form and example along with "hands on" opportunities.
The First Plane of Learning
Simple ∞ Concrete ∞ Hands Engaged
The next step is to engage the head.
Home of the mind. Land of the abstract and complex.
It's what makes the individual unique, challenging and creative.
Engage the hands, harness the individual's wonder to the mission. The fuel for sustained engagement of the head is intrinsic motivation. How about this? Could I help? I think...maybe...
The Second Plane of Learning
Complex ∞ Abstract ∞ Head Engaged
Over time, we develop many skills -- some hard, some soft -- in order to do many things -- some captivating, some not.
Our hard skills often drive us. They define us. We live & breathe them.
Soft skills are like dark matter. We know they're in us, but where? What do they really enable us to do?
UN-connected, these skills go UN-attended.
Next level connection to one's own soft skills tool kit is achieved through practice, intentional exploration & demonstrable action.
