Emprendizaje: learning with an entrepreneurial spirit

Very often people working in very different organizations and institutions (private companies, schools, government) get stuck in their development process both, personally and as a working community. When that happens, people start to get disconnected from their passion and tend to work (in best scenarios) just to get the job done.

In most of the cases, the diagnosis for the situation is that people lack some skills and that they need training in the latest tool on fad. Huge amounts of money are spent every year on "the new" tools that will wake up and upgrade teams immediately. And that rarely happens. There is a spark right after the training but it rapidly fades.

We believe it´s not a problem of the tools (actually we use most of them), but of the way that those resources are brought into action: as ends and not as mediums.

We all have the super-power of learning. Some of us are well aware of it. Some others are completely disconnected from it.

When people are connected to their own power of learning they thrive. Obstacles are really seen as challenges (not just a phrase in a ppt) and there is a trust that they will find a way through. Energy boosts and there is more openness to work with others and to listen to different ideas.

People who have well-developed metacognitive skills (are consciously aware of their own learning process) tend to be more tolerant with others, accept differences better, cultivate resilience, and navigate VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environments better.

Yet, up to know, little attention has been paid inside organizations and institutions to explicitly work on this re-connection with learning as a super resource.

We can all agree there´s very little new under the sun. And that is also good news: in general terms, "the new tools" are built on top of previous ideas and refined to match the actual context. So they are great.

We believe we can use the process of learning those theories and tools (that everybody talks about, that seem to be a "must-have", that promise to solve all problems), precisely as what they are: tools.

Tools for what? Tools to satisfy two needs: 1) Re-connecting people with their love for learning by developing metacognitive skills, and 2) Making people experience the joy of learning with others and collaborating. Having achieved that makes that using the tools properly (these and any others to come) becomes a natural consequence and not an imposed drama.

We deliver great content. We focus on people´s processes.
