In reply to Charlie Anderson. Charlie, thanks, very helpful. We do try to reach out to groups, and continue to spread the word. Much appreciated.

Thanks Clark for another great Learnlet. I have been working my way through this book and have recommended it to several colleges. The key to me for the at scale is to build allies in various regions, teams and business units at all levels. Then they can advocate and spread the word from experience rather than from me as an ‘expert’ /outsider lens.

In reply to Avnish Srivastava.

Avnish, this is a really useful set of steps people should take to avoid misconceptions, superstitions, and myths. However, if they have them, what can you do? You remind me that I did, once, talk about how to address myths (https://www.td.org/insights/how-to-challenge-learning-myths). However, in this case I’m wondering how do we raise awareness at scale?

1. Start with the basics: When trying to understand a topic, start with the basics. Avoid diving into the more advanced or technical aspects until you have a good understanding of the fundamentals. This will help you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and avoid getting lost in the hype.

2. Research multiple sources: Don’t rely on a single source of information. Instead, research from multiple sources such as reputable publications, books, or academic journals. This will help you to get a well-rounded view of the topic and reduce the risk of getting caught up in the hype.

3. Ask questions: Ask questions and seek clarification when needed. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from experts or those who have more experience in the topic. This will help you to fill in any knowledge gaps and ensure that you have a more accurate understanding of the topic.

4. Stay objective: Try to stay objective and avoid getting caught up in the hype. Be critical of the information you receive, and always question its accuracy and relevance.

5. Practice critical thinking: Develop your critical thinking skills. This will help you to evaluate information more effectively and make better decisions. Critical thinking involves analyzing information, identifying biases, and considering alternative perspectives.
