Core Concepts: Mastering Unlearning & Relearning

Hello KSKOers

I was recently joined by Juan Gonzalez to discover more about learning, unlearning and experiential learning. Being that experiential learning is the 9th direction of my self-aware leadership compass, this was a really good opportunity to discover more. Here are the core concepts from my blog article. You can read it in full here.

Looking forward to joining you on your learning journey!

Here are the 10 core concepts from out interview:

1. Unlearning to Relearn: Effective learning starts by unlearning outdated beliefs and creating space for new, empowering ideas with a growth mindset.
2. Experiential Learning for Self-Awareness: Learning by doing is essential, helping people apply knowledge in practical ways and build their self-awareness.
3. Self-Awareness as a Growth Foundation: Self-awareness is key to questioning beliefs, confronting blind spots and fostering adaptability for growth.
4. Prioritising Practice Over Theory: Progress comes from hands-on practice rather than passive learning, turning knowledge into real skills.
5. Enhanced Focus for Learning: Strategies like the 80/20 rule, time-blocking, and focus apps (e.g., pomodoro timers) support focus and productivity.
6. Creating Experiential Learning Opportunities: Goal-based learning and focusing on specific objectives, helps make learning practical. Journaling and learning with others also deepen understanding.
