Talk Description

How simple habits can develop, drive and support a learning culture for you and your team.

Join Alex Reynolds as he brings to life the teachings of Charles Dhugg and James Clear, and how he used them to create his own learning Habit.

At the session, you will discover why we are indeed 'creatures of habit' and how you can use this knowledge to introduce a learning habit for yourself and your team. 

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • Learn how habits are formed and why we favour habits (yes even the bad ones) over anything else
  • Develop a greater understanding of your own habits and how to use this to create new ones
  • The problems with setting goals and aiming too big
  • How to apply the laws of Habit formation to create and maintain a learning habit
