Listen Later

Welcome everyone to Corporate Learning Excerpts. My name is Jardine.


Today we will talk about How to Maximize Learning and cover some tips you can do when learning something new or different.  There are 4 concepts that I will discuss today :


First is the Beginner’s Mindset. Second, the habit of Divergent Thinking. Third, the concept of your brain’s neuroplasticity. Fourth, the psychological phenomenon called the protégé effect.


Let’s begin.


How do you practice having the Beginner’s Mindset. This is all about practicing intellectual humility.

What you can do is : Recognize the limits of your own knowledge to help improve your own way of thinking, and open your mind to new ways of thinking.


How do you practice Divergent Thinking. This is all about getting into the habit of not rejecting different information or the unfamiliar and then labelling them as wrong.

What you can do is : Consider that there are many possible answers to a question and there are always new ways of looking at things even from unfamiliar viewpoints.


How do you take advantage of your brain’s neuroplasticity, that your brain has the ability to change and grow in response to experiences that enable you to learn.

What you can do is : simply have new experiences, continue to learn and be open to new learnings as your brain is capable of that mental and behavioral flexibility, it will continue to grow and evolve in response to the new things you feed it.


How do you apply the protégé effect, this psychological phenomenon of teaching others that will help you learn better.

What you can do is : Have the intention of sharing the knowledge and skills you will learn with someone you know, prepare to teach it or even pretend to teach it because this will allow your brain develop mechanisms to help you learn that information more efficiently.


Keep these things in mind as you listen through the rest of the Corporate Learning excerpts.
