The best ways to learn in corporate settings: Hands-on, problem-centered, and collaborative As a leader, I've seen firsthand how professionals grow when their learning strategies are grounded in practical experience. At Splended, we advocate for three key approaches: 1. Experiential learning: Adults learn best by doing, not just observing. Real-world application transforms knowledge into actionable skills.    2. Problem-centered learning: Professionals want to solve real problems, not engage in abstract theory. Learning is most effective when it addresses current challenges. 3. Collaborative learning: Team-based learning promotes idea-sharing and engagement. Peer interaction allows us to expand our thinking and apply new concepts. These strategies are the backbone of effective corporate development—helping teams build confidence, performance, and growth.

I’m so excited to facilitate Giant Leap’s Executive Peer Group. If I can provide the space in which leaders and their peers experience transformation, it's incredibly fulfilling. Facilitating one of my chief of staff mastermind cohorts, I led a brainstorming session. You know, brainstorming, where you do a bunch of divergent thinking and get ideas on the wall. No judgment applied (yet). I noticed the group quickly defaulted to finding the holes in ideas, problem-solving, and leaping ahead to planning. So, I called a "time out" and asked, "Do you see how automatically you jump into fixing and action? We have a separate agenda item for that after the brainstorm. But, perhaps especially at the executive level, where our work has much broader impact than when we were subject matter experts or functional specialists, our role is to elicit ideas from others and listen before applying judgment. How does this focus on ‘fixing’ serve or limit your team?" The resulting discussion revealed that we had all reached positions working in and with the C-suite due to our ability to “find holes,” solve problems, and turn ideas into action. Usually by creating a plan. Promotions and bonuses had rewarded this mindset and behavior for years. But now, our role required more of us—we needed to *empower others* to fix, plan, and act. As our responsibilities grew, we no longer had all the insights ourselves, and technical skills gave way to the need for self-management, team leadership, and team transformation. I challenged the group, "How can your teams operate at a higher level if you're doing the work for them?" This sparked an "aha" moment for most of the group. Participants later shared how this moment not only changed how they went about their day-to-day work but transformed their leadership team meetings. It had a multiplicative effect, as they pulled their own teams out of the weeds and tackled more of the right problems, earlier.

Let's face it. We're all spread thin. Meetings, appointments, family and personal obligations. Our daily calendar can become a literal jigsaw puzzle. Finding time to focus on ourselves usually comes last! That's no way for us to continue to grow and develop. How do we change that? What can you do to break up the cycle? Learn on YOUR time. Start by blocking out 5 or 10 minutes a day to focus on YOU. Read an article, meditate, call a friend or colleague to catch up. We also recommend microlearning! Short self-contained bursts of learning that you consume on your time, as you can devote to it, uninterrupted. That's what we're introducing beginning 10/14 as part of Workplace: Gravitas, a leadership workshop that uses daily microlearning lessons that are interactive, fun and experiential. Who said learning had to be boring?

Workplace learning isn’t just about skills; it’s about unlocking potential, driving engagement, and enabling growth—for individuals and organizations alike. But fostering this culture starts with leadership. Here are a few ways leaders can make learning a priority: ✅ Lead by Example: Show your commitment to learning by sharing what you’re exploring or practicing. Curiosity is contagious! ✅ Make Space for Growth: Learning needs time and attention. Protect time for development and frame it as a priority, not an afterthought. ✅ Support Experimentation: Encourage teams to take calculated risks and see mistakes as opportunities to learn and adapt. ✅ Recognize Progress: Highlight and celebrate efforts to grow, not just results. Acknowledging the journey is just as important as reaching the destination. When leaders actively support and participate in learning, it creates momentum across the organization. It’s not just about improving performance today—it’s about building capacity for the future. How does your organization make learning part of its culture? I’d love to hear what’s working for you. 🌱 #Leadership #WorkplaceLearning #EmployeeDevelopment #LearningCulture
