PRESENTATION- DR IAN JEFFREYS
Topic: Rethinking Our Path To Success- Why We Need A New Perspective On How We Get Better
In today’s world of training and performance, the focus is predominantly on finding that magic ingredient that will transform what we do.
As a result, a focus on methods dominates, and where the overarching idea seems to be that if we can ensure we are using the best evidence-based approaches then we are bound to be successful.
But is this enough and is this approach counterproductive when dealing with the complex world human behaviour and performance?Could it be that in our drive towards finding the magic ingredient we have actually lost touch with how the world really works and what actually matters?
This presentation will question our current perspectives, suggest alternative approaches and provide frameworks around which we can design our own path to success.
