Learning is work, and work is learning
The phrase “learning is work, and work is learning” means a lot to us at Rypple.
We think of learning as something that is deeply connected to the successful execution of our service and our vision. That’s why the most productive and satisfying work we do every day is related to learning. In fact, we believe that in order to enjoy and be good at your job, you have to be learning, all the time.
What’s interesting though is that process of learning becomes much quicker and easier with feedback.
Often when I encounter something new, I want to talk about it with friends and colleagues. Discussing a new idea helps me understand it better because other people’s feedback frames the concept in ways I often wouldn’t have thought of.
But at work, the things that I need to learn about are not abstract ideas. They are tangible. Usually, when I’m trying something new at work, I want to know:
- Did a new approach, idea, or practice result in desired change?
- What do our users and clients think?
- What worked and what didn’t?
- What does our team think?
Courses, books, and blogs are wonderful ways to gather new approaches and specific knowledge. But to really *learn* I need to understand and apply new knowledge in real-life. As a result, I’ve found that my most meaningful learning comes from trying something out and then seeing what happens.
We hope Rypple can bridge this divide by helping people get regular feedback whenever they try something new or when they want to enhance what they’re already doing.
Regular Ryppling is a simple, cost-effective, and easy way to build a repeated cycle of learning into your daily work life.
