We build new skills on the foundations of the things we know.
Here’s how we track our progress with Learning Circles.

 
 
 
 
 

We learn skillsets and grow experience to help us develop different strengths.

Skillsets are the things we can do. The building blocks of our Learning Circles.

Circles show experience from Essentials to Exploring to Supporting and Leading.

Strengths recognise specialist skills in Strategy, Craft, People and Business.

 

Circles help us recognise our strengths, show the experience we build on the way.

  • Knowing how to join dots in compelling ways helps you understand ideas.

  • Being able to negotiate win/win situations will help you grow relationships.

 
 

Leaders have broad general skills and specialist strengths.

 
 

  • Experts in strategy go beyond solving problems to innovate.

  • Experts in leadership find new and different ways to lead and inspire.

  • Experts in business go beyond delivery and create opportunity.

  • Experts in craft add value to the work when they coach and build.

 
 

People who learn best are driven to learn. They have a growth mindset.

There’s more to this research. But the idea is, people who want to grow, grow faster.
