Back to School
There are three ingredients in the good life:
learning, earning, and yearning.
-- Christopher Morley
It's back to school time. Excitement is in the air ... new books, new
friends, new things to learn. For most of us in the adult world, we
only savor this time vicariously as we watch our kids and the kids in
our neighborhoods begin the routines of school. Perhaps we should also
use this time to create our own new learning adventures.
The Neenan company in Ft. Collins, Colorado, offers an interesting learning
model. Every year, each person in the organization writes a learning
contract listing the things she wants to learn *and* the things she's
willing to teach others. We would like to invite you to write your own
learning contract and to share just a sample with your fellow travellers
on this list. Here's an example from my own contract:
These learning commitments can be focused on personal learning or you might want to have your work group use the exercise to identify learnings that would be helpful for your work objectives.
If you would like to participate in this learning commitment, please send a brief (only one "learn" and one "share" example) message --
