In this episode, Dean Newlund and Catherine Mattiske discuss:

• Learning agility versus job performance
• Learning agility as the center 
• Making communications more effective 
• What it takes to learn 

Key Takeaways:

• When it comes to potential, learning agility is more important than job performance. With that, learning agility is a good indicator of job performance. 
• Results agility, people’s ability to change, mental agility, intuition, and self-awareness - at the center of all that is learning agility. 
• It’s important to be aware of how you’re communicating with people. It’s possible to intentionally structure your communication in a way where you’re reaching out effectively in a balanced way that touches all archetypes. 
• Learning isn’t that fun. It’s hard work. It takes a lot of intention, a lot of effort, and time - especially if what you’re trying to learn is how to learn. However, learning is very worth it. 

 "We all have within us, that zone where we are high performing. If you can get into that expert zone, that’s where you can unlock your ability to learn and you can then increase as a result of learning agility." — Catherine Mattiske
