This event aligns with the Professional and Organizational Application of ATD's Talent Development Capability Model.
Various adult learning scholars have discussed how individuals can learn about their past life and bring what they have learned forward to inform current decisions, story different transitions of their career, to make sense of the choices they make as well as highlight ambiguity that may lie at the heart of significant learning (Alheit 1994, 2009; Ibarra and Barbelescu, 2010 and West, 2014).
Learning Life History offers a transformative learning theory that can be used as an instructional design tool, in training delivery, facilitation, coaching, career and leadership development. The facilitator of this workshop has utilized Learning Life History with senior level executives in an Executive Development Program, in a coaching environment with clients and in his role as a supervisor.
During the workshop participants will participate in a Learning Life History exercise that will demonstrate how important learning life history is to their own development. Participants will learn how they can integrate learning life history into their learning programs utilizing different activities including writing, personal reflection, work in dyads, work in small groups and as a coaching tool for supervisors.
