You’re planning a workshop for an organization. You’re talking to the contact person about the objectives, and the contact person keeps talking about skipping the application so there’s more time to cover more content. I’ll be you’re frustrated.

I’ll bet you’re frustrated and that you feel like a basketball coach who’s been given the following choice: during the season you can have your players either practice or play, but not both.

I’ll bet you don’t like the choices.

Why? Because you want practicing and playing. You want to do training that involves understanding and applying. You want “and” learning, not “or” learning. So, you choose:

• Rehearsing and performing.
  
• Attitude and behavior
  
• Using head/heart and hands.

Use “and” learning, not “or” learning. Work smart. Today.
