LEAP stands for Learning Experiences for Advanced Performance. It is an action learning approach that puts the learner at the centre of active knowledge discovery. LEAP is NOT presentation of passive information through Death by PowerPoint courses – a waste of time and money! Simply put, LEAP delivers fun, engaging and active learning that put the needs of the learner first, allowing learners to discover knowledge and solve problems. In LEAP trainers stop talking to PowerPoint slides and start using them as a frame to facilitate activities. Trainers become Learning Guides who curate learning events so that learning makes real impact back in the workplace. LEAP improves performance.

WHAT IS LEAP?

The corporate world spends billions of dollars a year in delivering PASSIVE information to smart working people. Your staff know most of what they see on the screen. What they NEED, is to USE information and new ideas to improve their skill. As Adult Learners, they prefer to learn by doing and rarely pay attention to lectures. Remember, POWERPOINT was NEVER created to be a training tool, it is a PRESENTATION TOOL and clip art and funky animations do little to change the passive, presentation. STOP WASTING TIME, AND MONEY with presentations. Active, fun learning experiences will make impact.

WHY DO I NEED LEAP?

No More Death by PowerPoint

PowerPoint is a

passive information

Most Trainers stand in front of Smart People,

What Happens?.. Is NOT LEARNING!

Learning is ChangingMany organizations are looking for better ways to motivate learners and make impact on their behaviour in the workplace. 4 Things are happening.

Training or filling people with information,

does not work. Motivating learners to want to learn is the key

Designing the learning experience based on learner’s needs rather

than trainer’s needs has much more impact

Adult Learners want to discover why and how they can use new ideas and knowledge – let

them !

Adult Learners want to learn by doing, this also

ensures they practice skills so that they go

back to work

HOW DOES LEAP WORK? STEP 1

LEAP is based on experiential, action learning principles where learners are active. The learner in charge and at the centre of the training agenda and training method.

•  LEAP is a learner centric approach. This means that content is NOT what Trainers want to say BUT what learners need to know to perform better.

•  LEAP Performance Needs Analysis (PNA) identifies, not topics, BUT performance competencies; an analysis of WEAKNESS, GAPS, OPPORTUNTIES & PROBLEMS, that can improve institutional performance.

•  Learners are in Charge so the methodology is ACTIVE, ENGAGING &FUN. This means no boring lecture - less than 20% lecture –and PowerPoint is just a frame for Storytelling and curating learning experiences.







Doing


POWERPOINT Presentations present information in a passive approach. LEAP Learning Events ALLOW and encourage Knowledge Discovery NOT Knowledge Delivery.

•  Instead of delivering information, the Trainer in a LEAP session is a Learning Guide – allowing the learners to analyze, explore and find new knowledge without TELLING.

•  LEAP content is innovative and creates experiences that allow learners take from knowledge what they can use to improve performance.

• The learner DECIDES what is useful and turns it into actionable knowledge to improve performance.







Doing


Learners who can think, analyze and create solutions are able to operate in changing and challenging environments. LEAP helps to improve thinking skills creating MENTAL AGILITY.

• Generic examples in passive training do little to build thinking skills unless learners get active and DO!

•  In the LEAP classroom, learners think of problems and situations they face. They struggle, share experiences, and work through activities to solve problems. Each activity is focused on performance improvement.

•  LEAP case studies are drawn from real workplace weaknesses and problems so there is RELEVANCE & IMPACT when they go back to work.







Doing


PRACTICE of new skills and behaviours is critical to learning impact. The LEAP Approach dedicates over 50% of time to hands on learning by doing and practice.

• Complex, real case studies and simulations are difficult to create and require strong PNA and instructional design, but these are core of LEAP learning events. It is worth it to design better.

• Each new skill or behaviour is practiced through cases, role plays, presentations, plans and games so that competencies are solidified and owned before the learner leaves the classroom.

• High quality Content is the key to active learning.

What does a LEAP Learning Experience look Like?

Practice and Own Skill Allow learners to practice new skills Take skills back to work with custom case

studies and reflection

Knowledge Discovery NOT Delivery Creates Thinking Skils Allow the learner to discover and solve

problems Struggle and solve problems ( cases) to

build Mental Agility

Learner Sets Intention to Learn

Identify real workplace problems and issues Learner sets own intention – ‘I need this, I want to learn”

Start with the Learner & Create Learner Centric Conversations Opening Activity: What does the learner

already know? Working Adults already know a lot – let

them speak first

Strong PNA – Performance Needs Analysis Really understand the business plan and

what will improve the business Identify clearly the competencies that you

need to build

Where did LEAP Come From?
