A NEW NEURO-SEMANTIC MODEL A Model of Learning

When you train, teach, coach, consult, mentor, or parent, you are enabling someone to learn. You are guiding and facilitating the learning process. You cannot “learn” them, you can only provide a context and information wherein they might choose to learn. And hopefully, they will learn what’s best for them to learn in an effective way. Therefore you provide an inter-personal context where they will want to learn, trust you to facilitate it, guide it in a strategic step by step fashion so they succeed and have lots of fun in the process.

When you do this, you are working with the learning process. Therefore to be effective you need to know all you can about the learning process itself. You need to be able to answer a number of questions about learning: “How do people learn?” “How do people learn best?” “What blocks learning?” “What enhances learning?”
