Seth Godwin’s blog is always interesting… and his theories about marketing can often be applied to learning, too.
In his article entitled Find Your Voice – he talks about companies needing to find what works for them instead of copying what works for others.
He suggests avoiding obvious mistakes and not following obvious successes.
I think these wise words apply well for learning too. We are all individuals and it is our own, personal inner dialogue that shapes our behaviours and learnings. It’s our’s not anyone else’s. I encourage you to think about when you were most effective with your learning; what worked for you? What can you learn from that experience that could be useful now?
Seth ends his article by encouraging people to “find your voice” – I’d encourage you to find your own inner voice!
It’s the one that’s in control of learning and as such needs to be leveraged.
