ThoughtLab: Leveraging Emotions for More Impactful Learning
🎬 SESSION DESCRIPTION
What role do emotions have in the learning process?
Well, they can break it… or shape it into a deep learning experience and create fireworks of insights!
In an ideal learning experience, an emotional journey behaves a lot like a journey in a story or a movie: there is a bit of a warmup phase, rich in curiosity; a strong crescendo with moments of tension or frustration, and then a satisfying resolve. While the flavor of it can be very different - from an action movie, a drama, or even a thriller - the underlying dynamics always follow certain principles.
How can you leverage the power of emotions as a trainer or facilitator to create profound insights, more openness, or deeper commitment?
That is exactly what we will explore in this 90-minute-long workshop!
