Brain Friendly Learning can aid communication

This morning's treat was a workout at the Learning & Professional's Gym... not as strenuous as it might sound (though I did cycle there!). the presentation by Kimberley Hare of Kaizen Training got me thinking about our normal styles of communication and how we tend to stick to our own preferred "channel". I decided it is definitely worth the effort to use the intelligences and communication channels not just in the arena of training, but in all communications.

Take a moment to think about it...

Which would you rather have?
A verbal presentation of the new product or change process or project
or
A visual, verbal and involved presentation of the same?

With a little effort we could all recognise the 5 core principles of Brain Friendly Learning and apply them to our every-day communication:
1. Keep it REAL
2. Make it RICH
3. Facilitate CREATION
4. Honour UNIQUENESS
5. STATE is everything

Happy Communicating
