Learning at Work Day is a Government initiative intended to inspire people in all types of roles to embrace learning. It’s a great way for your people to learn something new and amaze themselves with new skills.
Maze suggests that before you and your people decide to leap into doing something new and exciting in response to this day, that you ask yourselves ‘why have you chosen to do this?’ Maze Research can reveal that if you ask yourself ‘why you are doing something’ 7 times you are much more likely to arrive at the real reason – one that is sustainable, reveals your true motivation and therefore why you are more likely to succeed.
All too often people pick up on something they have read in a book, seen on the TV or on a website that they think is worth trying or something they should do, however the all to familiar reason that it does not last is that they were not really clear on ‘why’ they had chosen to do it in the first place and what difference it will actually make to them.
To learn something new, achieve some real momentum and make a difference in your organisation on ‘Learning at Work Day 23rd May’ get your people to start asking themselves ‘why’ 7 times before they decide to start a new initiative or way of working – you will be amazed at the results, people will be doing the right things, those that make a difference and they will be seen through to the end.
Before you do this, ask your self ‘why’ and if you truly believe it will help them and you will get more of the right things done – go for it!
