Five Lessons From Children, Not For Them

What this episode covers

We are so intent of teaching our children about the world that we sometimes miss the things that they can teach us. In this week’s episode, Lee tells you about the five most valuable lessons he’s learned from his own children and his own childhood.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It takes around 3000 attempts for a child to learn how to walk. They fail often, but we encourage them to try again. We are instilling a positive learning ethic, and yet this ethic is lost as education develops. We must create an environment in which it is okay to fail sometimes in which experimentation and risk-taking are encouraged. Kids are always pushing against boundaries. As we grow up we find ourselves adhered to laws, beliefs and rules. What can we do to break the rules and push the boundaries in adult life? BEST MOMENTS ’You don’t know if something works or not until you try it' ‘We don’t get as many opportunities to fail as we do as a child’ ‘Learn like a child. Test the boundaries. Push the boundaries' VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast    Anish Hindocha Twitter - https://twitter.com/hindocha_anish?lang=en Jigsaw Consulting - https://www.jigsawconsulting.co.uk Anish Hindocha LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anishhindocha/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE HOST   For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.
