Beyond Knowledge: The Importance of Unlearning for Success
Beyond Knowledge: The Importance of Unlearning for Success
In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing business world, success often requires more than just acquiring knowledge—it demands the ability to unlearn old habits and adapt to new ways of working. This is especially true in a franchise system, where franchisees need to set aside previous methods and fully embrace the tried-and-tested approaches that drive franchise success.
This seminar, Beyond Knowledge: The Importance of Unlearning for Success, takes a deep dive into the psychology of unlearning and its critical role in personal and professional growth. Using a fascinating demonstration with a reverse-steering bike—a bike where turning the handlebars left makes the bike go right and vice versa—we reveal how deeply ingrained habits can hold us back. Despite being told how the bike operates, people are unable to ride it. This illustrates a powerful truth: knowing is not the same as doing. To master new behaviours, we must go through a process of unlearning, followed by intentional, focused practice to develop new skills.
