Carry the conversation forward by joing the Learning Rebels Community. Check it out here.
This was a fun conversation with many ideas. I found that many of the ideas could also be applied to our Coffee Chat about Creative Debriefing.

I like how the conversation included thoughts about our responsibility as L&D people. How are we embracing serendipity? Are we present and aware? If we aren't exploring the environment around us, how can we expect others to do the same? 

Here are some quick ideas to encourage exploration:
  1. Let go of control and allow people to explore. This means deviating from the script. 
  2. Put up guardrails to help the thinking process. Provide learners with themes to search and discover.
  3. Help to connect discovery to application. Ask deeper questions.
  4. Learn how to uncover stories and then to how to share them. Share this knowledge with participants. 
  5. Help participants connect to their surroundings. Promote observational skills. 
But it all begins with trust. Sharing unexpected moments requires that the participants trust us with their thoughts and ideas. If we haven't bridged the trust issue, it will be hard to engage and encourage deeper learning.
