Principles for Success
We love what we do at ThinkingKap.
We love to create training that is creative, engaging, fun, and memorable.
That said, we’ve taken enough courses ourselves to know most training isn’t like this. And sadly, many people seem to think that training has to be boring and that fun is out of their budget.
We know every project has constraints and the job needs to get done – but we’d all really prefer if the finished course could be something everyone is happy with. You feel me?
While sometimes we’re asked to do “good enough,” we’d rather deliver “awesome!” So here are the principles that drive what we think results in awesome.
1.
Envision success
Know what you want to achieve. Define what success looks like before you start. Measurable results come from a clear vision.
2.
Have a plan
Stay on track. Develop a structured approach and stick to it. A solid plan keeps everyone on the same track, headed for success.
3.
Details matter
Sweat the small stuff. Sloppy work undermines credibility. Polished training shows learners you care.
4.
Connect the dots
Learning is a science. Connect new knowledge to what learners already know. Relevant examples make learning stick.
5.
Don’t strain the brain
Respect your learners’ cognitive load. Present information efficiently and avoid overwhelming them. Streamlined content = better learning.
6.
Make it real
Bridge the gap between learning and doing. Provide opportunities for learners to apply their new knowledge and see the impact.
7.
Reject boring
Ditch the dull. Make learning an experience, not an endurance test. Lively content, compelling visuals, and interactive elements bring learning to life, maximizing impact.
8.
Engagement is key
Interaction unlocks learning. Foster active participation, encourage exploration, and create opportunities for learners to do something with their new knowledge.
9.
Ignite passion
Tap into what motivates learners. Connect with their aspirations, spark their curiosity, and make learning an experience they’ll love. Because passion fuels progress.
10.
Give a rip
Dedicated teams create exceptional learning. Build a team that’s invested in the outcome. A little blood, sweat, and tears can make all the difference. (OK, maybe not blood…)
11.
Be fearless
Take risks, push boundaries, and embrace creativity. Don’t be afraid to try new things. That’s how awesome happens.
12.
Embrace failure
Mistakes are valuable lessons. Challenge your learners (and yourselves). Sometimes the best learning comes from getting it wrong.
