The Learnability Man
Workshops for Companies
Self-Directed Learning
Ideal for adults who want to shift their personal development up a gear.
The system teaches us that learning is about turning up and following instructions. But we learn best when we take ownership of our subject, become engaged and stretching ourselves often. Here I show you the key to becoming a great learner and to develop your own Personal Learning Strategy.
Benefits:
● A better understanding of how we acquire new skills
● The ability to develop a Personal Learning Strategy
● Increased confidence when starting to learn something new
● An improved ability to acquire new skills
● A renewed feeling of empowerment
How to set up and run a Learning Club
Ideal for Human Resources, associations and students.
Everyone should be a member of a Learning Club. But few appreciate the value of structure, motivation and accountability it provides. In this workshop, I’ll show you how to run one on your own so you get maximum benefit from it for years to come.
Benefits:
● Understanding of the power of a Learning Club
● The rules, guidelines and common mistakes of a Learning Club
● Increasing morale for members
● A much more fun and effective way to learn.

Identity
Ideal for people interested in better understanding themselves.
This workshop uses LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methodology.
The words you use influence the way you think. When you refer to yourself using your job title you’re creating an artificial limit to who you are as a person. In this workshop I help you go beyond your limits to understand yourself better and help your colleges understand you better, too.

● Greater feeling of self-worth
● Stronger feeling of trust

The Study Power Workshop is a 3-hour participative experience where attendees are taken through three key areas which can take their learning ability to the next level.
