Self Directed Learning… Richard Boyatzis The Five Discoveries

#1 My ideal self: Who do I want to be?

#2 My real self: Who am I? My strengths and gaps

#3 My learning agenda: Building on my strengths while reducing my gaps

#4 Experimenting With new behavior, thoughts and feelings Practicing

#5 Developing trusting relationships that help support and encourage each step of the process.

It may be called self-directed... But it can’t be done alone! Without others, lasting change can’t occur.
