073 Overcoming barriers to learning

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins

01/23/23 • 21 min

In this week's episode we are discussing overcoming barriers to learning. When learning as an adult we acknowledge that there are lots of reasons that barriers might occur

We talk about:

some of the beliefs people have that hold them back from learning
how barriers can often be invisible or held without the student knowing
clear barriers to learning that a student is able to articulate from a poor experience in childhood in the classroom through to identifiable learning needs
the importance of identity and safety
how we can help clients to identify resistance and barriers
how we can help people to build in confidence in you as a coach

It is important to be able to identify your own barriers to learning as well as supporting others to identify and overcome them. Our beliefs around learning can be detrimental to our desire to learn so it is important that we take as many barriers into account as possible. In making our courses accessible we are giving our students or coachees an opportunity to have a positive experience and thrive.
