Perpetual Learning

I woke up in the middle of the night with some ideas about a new version of a workshop that I teach on leadership. I probably wouldn't have had the ideas but for a briefing that I'd conducted the day before.

Other ideas arose on the way to and from the briefing and while getting questions from the audience.

We don't handle things in boxes but in blurs. This process was a reminder that the best to way to learn a topic is to teach it. My workshops are very good but I always think they can be better. Whenever I see evaluations that say "Don't change a thing" I get nervous. You don't want to fix things that aren't broken but you also don't want to get smug and overlook genuine improvements.

Once I've made the changes and the new, improved version of the workshop emerges containing all that is deemed appropriate and helpful, I wonder what thoughts will occur on the way to that class.
