In This Episode, You'll Discover:
- Understand the difference between adding knowledge (informative learning) and upgrading your internal 'operating system' (transformational learning), based on the work of Jack Mezirow.
- Learn how challenges and discomfort can be powerful catalysts for deep reflection and growth.
- Hear the story of Mark, an experienced rider, and Jade, a sensitive horse. Discover how their interactions in the paddock became an unexpected classroom.
