Adult learning does not occur until we have gone through 4 very different phases:

If you want to remember something new you have learned and perhaps even change how you do things:

Remind yourself of it:

• Post it somewhere so you will see it each day.
• Put it on your task list to do something about it periodically.
• Tell others of your intention to do something different and ask for their support to remind you.

Think about it:

• Create connections between what you already know and the new stuff.
• Ponder how and when you can apply the new info.
• Consider what you feel strongly about and/or what you disagree with.
• Find out more – research, discuss with others.

Explain it to someone else:

• Teach someone else.
• Demonstrate your new thinking or behavior.
• Expose your new thinking process (walk someone up your ladder).

Try something new:

• Practice your new behavior.
