Our Training Value​s
-
Learning takes place when you feel comfortable and respected
-
Learning happens by doing
-
Doing means mistakes, mistakes are how we learn
-
Understanding comes from reviewing the doing
-
Understanding why we do something helps us adapt — first aid rarely happens in a training room
