How to get the most out of your course

Top Tips:

Be clear about your goals for attending and of your WIIFM (what's in it for me?) factor.
Complete all pre-work and pre-reading assigned to you.
Participate fully, ask questions, volunteer ideas, challenge one another - the other participants are also depending on you!
Read the workbook and handouts more than once, and make notes on them.
Actively take personal notes during the sessions - annotation will give these documents real meaning for you.
Try not to judge ideas until you have tried them out - you may be asked to try some 'unusual' things to encourage you to step out of your 'comfort zone.'
Take action as a result of your learning, both inside and outside of work.
Teach someone else (colleague, friend, partner) at least one thing that you have learned from each topic covered - this is a hugely powerful way of learning.
Undertake additional research on the bits that you find most interesting and useful e.g. reading, surfing the net, discussing with colleagues etc.
Make full use of your best resource - each other. Consider meeting up again, a group email list, phone prompts, meeting up outside of work�
Take advantage of any feedback you received.
Keep a personal progress log and a constantly up-to-date Action Plan.
