Course Tips
We have a few recommendations to make the most of this course and each module.
- Keep a journal
You can go old school with a notebook - 📓 any notebook or notepad will serve the purpose. Writing goes a long way in improving your memory for new information. A 2017 study found that brain regions associated with learning are more active when people complete a task by hand.
Now, your handwriting may be illegible (I know that mine is) , so it’s okay to keep track of your thoughts and writing prompts in One Note, Notes, or a running Word document or journal pages that we designed as companions for all of the modules.
- Challenge yourself
Throughout this process, challenge yourself to take risks, speak up (or take a back seat), and try new ways of working, connecting with others, and making tangible changes in your day-to-day life.
- Learn in a group
Throughout this course, we recommend watching movies, docu-series, listening to podcasts, and reading articles. You can do them solo or in a group, or complete solo and process in a group.
The key is processing learning in a group. Learning with others (similar to working out with a group) leads to -
- A greater ability to view situations from others' perspectives;
- A deeper understanding of the content;
- Higher levels of intrinsic motivation to learn and achieve; and
- Lower levels of anxiety and stress.
🚨 Remember, the goal is to be able to apply what you’re learning -- and along the way, have some fun!
