Struggling Assists the Learning Process

February 20, 2025 | 11 AM CST

Remember the children’s story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? You know, this porridge is too hot, this one is too cold, this one is just right. Struggling works in the same way. Too much struggle in virtual learning will lead to frustration. Too little struggle is just spoon-feeding participants with a golden ladle. Just the right amount of pain and struggle: that’s what allows participants to feel a sense of accomplishment and meaning in training, which builds up a sense of autonomy and self-worth. Join this session to define the Goldilocks zone of struggle and discover how much struggle is just right.
