From Training to Brain Based Development

     Set a target for one day at a time and imagine yourself away from stagnant pools of “training” into fresh rushing waters of "development."Target.gif

     Plan to accomplish things never before accomplished by using parts of the brain never before used... through brain based development.

      Simply begin …and life-giving waters soon emerge around you, as Helen Keller did when she asked: “Is it for us to pray for tasks equal to our powers, or for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel towards our distant target?”

 

If Your Training:                         Try Brain Based Development:

Works for puppies                         Facilitates people to improve
Requires one expert                      Looks for expertise in all
Gives fixed agenda                        Invites emerging agenda
Provides rules                              Creates best practices
Accepts that trainer talks              Enables participants talk-to-know
Shows dominant cultures               Spots riches in all cultures 
Avoids mistakes                           Builds on mistakes
Measures to test                         Tests as a learning tools
Teaches traditions                       Challenges traditions at times
Requires organization                    Requires courageous disorganizers
Starts at the beginning                 Starts at the end
Shows one best approach             Invites multiple approaches
Avoids risks                                Values risks
Engages leader's strengths            Engages participants' strengths
Shows what works best                Encourages investigation
Gives ambiguous applications         Provides clear rubrics to apply
Completes in sessions offered        Offers ongoing opportunities
Relies on one intelligence              Unleashes multiple intelligences
Demonstrates problems                Solves problems together
Defines familiar turfs                    Refurbishes old job descriptions
Asks questions for answers           Asks questions to build curiosity
Allows cynicism and pessimism       Builds neuron pathways for change
Shows ideas in isolation                Solves organizational problems
Builds unrealistic goals                  Accepts that change is lonely
Relates mainly to science              Integrates art and science
Separates hard and soft skills        Teaches "smart" skills instead
Ignores how to work with brain       Learns how the brain works best

     Brain based development creates a climate where leaders and workers challenge old, comfortable ways of doing things...It creates a climate where people's worth is determined by their willingness to learn new skills and take on new responsibilities...the kind that re-invent their jobs...The most important question in brain based development is NOT, "How well did you perform your work since the last time we met?" but, "How much did you change and improve what you do -- to meet higher standards?"
