Sharing Solidifies Learning
- Sharing your learning makes it stick because explaining forces reflection and reveals gaps.
- It also benefits colleagues and helps build a team learning culture.
Opportunity, Not Greed, Blocks Sharing
- Most organisations don't give people opportunities or moments to share what they learn.
- Lack of scheduled occasions, not selfishness, often stops team knowledge sharing.
Talk It Out To Spot Gaps
- Explaining ideas aloud (even to an object or AI) helps sense-making and reveals misunderstandings.
- Rubber duck debugging works because verbalisation forces clearer thought.
