Experience versus Knowledge
Knowledge is power. Experience is more powerful.
Knowledge is filed under different boxes. Experience is joined and connected.
When you give training, don't just impart knowledge. According to David Kolbe, the first duty of the expert trainer, as shown in the diagram below, is to create an unforgettable learning experience for all the participants.
Participants may forget most of the lessons they learned from your workshop after some time. But they will never forget the experience they picked up at your training sessions. Kolbe calls that experiential learning.
Today in many organizations, it is no longer called the Training and Development Dept. They have renamed the department as Learning and Development, or L&D for short.
Why? The whole focus of training is not the trainer. The focus is on the participants to learn. And they learn best by involvement which creates long term experience and memory recall, and not passive listening to the trainer, which oftentimes is boring.
