What Building My First LEGO Set Taught Me About Learning and Work

I didn’t expect building my first LEGO set to turn into a lesson about learning — but it did. In this episode, I reflect on how the LEGO building experience mirrors what adults experience in workplace learning and professional development. From following step-by-step instructions to navigating moments of uncertainty, LEGO became a surprisingly accurate metaphor for instructional design, collaboration, and trusting the process. This episode explores: Why slowing down matters in learning How adults learn when the full picture isn’t clear The role of patience, experimentation, and reflection What LEGO can teach us about workplace training and growth A thoughtful, practical reflection for anyone involved in learning, leadership, or personal development.

Technical Training Needing to Slow Down - Deep Dive Series

Chunk and Chew method when providing technical training. In an article and video about online facilitation, Patricia Regier emphasizes the importance of slowing down when presenting information to ensure understanding and engagement. She advises facilitators to consider the sensory experiences of their participants, explaining that they might be simultaneously listening, watching, taking notes, and attempting to apply the information. Regier recommends incorporating visual cues and verbal descriptions when sharing information, particularly when demonstrating technical tasks, as participants may not always be looking at the same place on their screens. By consistently describing actions and locations, facilitators can ensure that participants can follow along, regardless of their visual access or learning styles. She also encourages facilitators to adopt a learner perspective and consider how their participants are experiencing the training.
