Robin Petterd is the founder of Sprout Labs, and he’s on a mission to change how people learn at work.  Robin’s belief is that learning at work needs to reflect the natural way we learn; it needs to restore our curiosity; and it needs to support our desire to learn with others. In this interview with Robin, we dive into his learning while working framework, and how to optimise the way you self-direct your learning to add new skills to your talent stack.I was also curious to find out Robin’s perspective on how to prioritise what you learn, and optimise how you learn in order to land your next career opportunity.You can find out more about the Learning While Working framework on Robin’s website below.  I hope it inspires you to think differently about how you optimise your self-directed learning.Learning While Working ManifestoFor more talent stack resources visit https://www.yishanchan.co/links

33. Learning while working with Robin Petterd, founder of Sprout Labs

If you are a regularly listen of this podcast, you know self-directed learning is a crucial life skill people use to become self-employed. Why? Because as change in our economy accelerates, you need to be constantly refining your existing skills, as well as acquiring new ones to maintain your value. Our guest in this episode has made designing self-directed learning experiences his life’s work. Robin Petterd is the founder of Sprout Labs based in Tasmania, Austrailia. He and his team create custom interactive learning experiences for government agencies and business who need to teach their employees new skills and fast. He shares how he wove his love of painting (he actually left university with a degree in fine arts), learning and design together to form his latest business. We talk quite a bit about how to become a more effective self-directed learner, and to become one, Robin recommends asking yourself these two important questions every day: 1) What worked today? 2) What would I do differently? He also believes your self-directed learning can be enhanced by regularly quizzing yourself on the material you want to learn and by surrounding yourself with peers interested in the same subject. Life Skills That Matter In This Episode  Self-directed learning. Building community. Self-awareness.

Book recommendation: Flying Solo 90-day goal: Developing a subscription-based content learning management system.  Inspirational Quotes  “Learning is really about changing your behavior.” “Self-directed learning is articulating what you want to learn, then reflecting on what you’ve learned and finally thinking about what’s next.” “Every time I’ve worked for myself, it’s always been out of necessity.” “I was achieving more when I was helping other people grow.” “A business’s profitability is relative to the amount of tolerance the business owner has to risk.” Coaching Advice Robin offers this advice on how to begin a habit of self-directed learning: 1) Choose something you are curious about and explore it. Asking questions, and don’t take anything as given. 2) Schedule time to put yourself in a learning mode, where you are thinking about your work, not doing your work. He also defines being curious as constantly asking questions, and not taking anything as a given. Resources + Bonus Materials Robin’s interview with Anna Sabramowicz, Co-Founder of Elearner Engaged.
