Episode 117: Master Informal Learning with Patrick Cootes

This week on the Leadership Podcast, Patrick Cootes joined Bradley to discuss how informal learning can transform your team.  Patrick is a learning expert with nearly 20 years of experience in the public sector. He’s a Co-Founder & Head of Product at Mindstone Learning, a company empowering people and companies globally to learn faster and remember more.

They discussed how to create a “doing” culture, rather than a culture that stops at learning.  He has found that, while it has become standard to assume that a person can only learn one way (auditory, visual, kinesthetic), people are actually multisensory and multidimensional in their learning.

Patrick also shared his number one strategy for helping new hires get up to speed 2x faster than normal.  Trainers should give new hires a high stakes but low risk opportunity to get them to take action. To learn more about Patrick’s company, visit https://www.mindstone.com/
