Learning as a way of life
At Handcrafted Learning we love to learn—from the person running payroll to the person running strategy sessions.
Why isn't corporate training better?
Most people have had a bad learning experience, whether at school or a job. It felt punitive, passive, and like a waste of time.
Unfortunately, traditional corporate training was modeled on traditional education: knowledge memorization and test taking instead of skill development and real-world application.
As students, we’re told that if we’re not getting anything from abstract lectures and boring videos, we’re the problem. But it’s the system for learning that’s broken.
Luckily, we’re craftspeople who love fixing things.
