How to learn and maintain new skills

In the latest episode of the Dutch podcast “Growth Talk” by Talk to C, Jasper, an educational pedagogue at Deloitte, shares insights into how you can optimise your learning processes.

Jasper discusses the neurological aspects of learning, the importance of repetition, and strategies for integrating new knowledge and skills into long-term memory. You will learn that learning is not a one-time event but a continuous journey. Whether in school or at work, it's crucial to revisit and refine new knowledge and skills regularly.

Learning is not a one-shot deal. You must continuously repeat and refine new knowledge and skills.

Learning is continuous

Learning is a continuous process. You are constantly learning, which means you have to look for the right ways to educate yourself or acquire new knowledge or skills.

• Make learning a part of your daily routine, whether it's by revisiting lecture notes, or by engaging in discussions.

The power of repetition

One of the most important principles for effective learning is repetition. Scientific literature supports the idea that repeating and practising what you've learned contributes significantly to building expertise.

• Regularly review your study materials, practise, and revisit key concepts to enhance your understanding.

Social learning

Informal learning through social interactions can be incredibly valuable. Engaging with your peers or colleagues, asking questions, and being curious can lead to acquiring new knowledge and skills.

• Interact with others, join study groups, and participate in discussions. It gives you new perspectives and deepens your understanding of the topic.
