How can you transform passive learning into active learning? Learning is not a spectator sport. I’ve been saying that for over twenty years because the human brain simply isn’t designed to effectively learn through information consumption alone. You learn better—and faster—when you create and co-create material in a method known as active learning. In today’s episode, I’m going to share six tactical steps that can help you transform your learning from passive to active. With these six keys, you’ll learn more in less time, allowing you to achieve results you never thought possible. Knowledge by itself isn’t power. It only becomes power when you apply and implement it—when you take action. You develop deeper understanding, helping you to connect new information with what you already know. If you’ve been struggling to take your learning to a whole new level, this episode is for you. ***If you’re inspired, I want to invite you to join me in my brand NEW 10-day course, specifically designed to boost your productivity.
