Return on Investment (benefit to the company): “How does the company benefit from what participants learned?” This has a consequence on the learning environment. Indeed, you learn better in an informal environment where collaboration is encouraged, competition is neutralized, and mistakes are considered as a necessary part of the training process. Leverage team learning Emotions are a powerful lever for learning. In addition to the rational part of your brain, the emotional part should be mobilized. Positive emotions of course!

Sometimes I manage to keep my students engaged, but it also happens that I fail to catch their attention. Certainly, I could do better, so I'd hoped this book would help me.

I had the room break into groups and design a game that taught either the 4C Map or the Six Trumps. Boom - in just a short time, I knew the attendees had learned the concepts - because they actually demonstrated using them! Win! Perhaps it will.
