Learning From Experience

We all have experiences in life, good experiences, amazing times of celebration, but we also face challenges, trials and situations that cause us to lament. The question is, are you learning from your experiences? We have all heard people walk into a room and express they have had ten years of experience when the reality is they have actually had the same experience for ten years. Every experience presents an opportunity to learn, grow and mature but how readily are you taking that opportunity?

You might think learning from experience sounds easy but the reality is there are some tools that we can use in order to make sure we maximise our learning. In this course we will look at some mirrors that can help us to reflect, some models that can structure our reflection, and ways to ensure our reflection is rooted in our understanding of God. The ultimate goal is to put tools in your hand in order to become more like Jesus in the way that you interact in the workplace, at home, in our families and relationships.
