Learning is at the same time one of the most natural things and one of the most difficult things there are. Organizational learning is even harder. It’s easy to learn things when you want to learn them, but it requires a tremendous amount of work to get someone learn something when the inspiration doesn’t come from himself.
One of the biggest obstacles to learning is fear. The fear of changing, the fear of leaving a safe area and going out to the wilderness. And the scary thing is that without changing there is no learning. When you learn something, something inside you changes.
But learning can also be an exciting adventure in which you experiment with your limits, your interests and your life.
Here are some ideas to start your experiments with. Don’t try them all, but maybe by doing a few of them already makes you enjoy change, and thus enjoy learning a bit more. After a few more changes, learning becomes fun, and you become more curious.
