Or, why one-and-done learning doesn't work. Imagine that you want to teach a kid to brush his teeth. Why are you teaching him? Well, because you want him to be happy and healthy for his life…and you don't want to have to pay for a bunch of expensive dental work. So what are you hoping he'll DO? MORE

We’re at the tail-end of January meaning that it’s well and truly time to toss out the trends of last year and make room for the new ones. Learning trends that is. Although, feel free to leave the tide pod challenge and moths in 2018 where they belong. MORE
For most of my education I thought pretty poorly of multiple choice quizzes. In high school I’d learned all the usual tricks quiz authors use – and how to outsmart them. MORE
I seem to make a lot of decisions. Decisions as a business owner, business partner, husband and father. I’d like to make good decisions. By that I mean decisions that have more upside than downside. Decisions where the probability of expected value is higher than the probability of expected loss. MORE
It’s rare that something truly new comes along in any industry. And for the professional Learning & Development industry – often just called ‘L&D’ by those of us in said industry – new inventions are almost unheard of. Certainly, right now everyone is excited about gamified micro-learning. MORE

The growth of humans into who we are has been a long succession of Leveling Up – or more specifically, making mistakes, learning from them and making different choices next time for better results. MORE
I started training jujitsu a few months ago. I had a friend/mentor comment that he thought I’d really benefit from picking up a martial art. He’s also the Sensei (and a salesman by day) so I figured he was just doing some recruiting for the school. MORE
Here’s something to think about. What do all of the following have in common? Netflix. Self-driving cars. Predictive text. Face recognition. Spotify weekly playlists. Spam e-mail classifiers….

It’s 9am Monday and you’ve got 237 e-mails to reply to. 5 deadlines to meet. A team of reports that desperately need your ‘immediate' attention. And there’s one more thing that you can’t quite put your finger on…. Oh, dear… There’s that 3-day training program this week. Terror strikes. The coffee just doesn’t seem strong enough this morning as you scramble to figure out where those extra hours will come from. Sound familiar? Away from training, towards learning. MORE
When Lachy and I launched Yarno in 2016, I had no idea how to market a software product. I’d spend the previous 8 years running a digital agency that specialised in the design and build part of software - not the marketing component. MORE

A few weeks ago, I needed to go to the chemist to buy a few skincare products. I had a vague idea of what I was looking for but hadn’t chosen a particular brand or product yet. MORE
In the past four years, I’ve learnt a lot about learning. Mostly I've discovered that for 35 years I've been doing it wrong. Relying on techniques proven to be ineffective , such as cramming, re-reading and highlighting. On the positive side, I've also discovered what does work. MORE
