Issue: I’m in a training rut.
Solution : Do things differently
Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs) are quite popular where I live.
My friends have invited me many times to join them on the many rivers and lakes around where I live. But I really don’t like them. I find the paddle moves a bit awkward and there are a lot of possibilities of ending up in the water. And in this part of the world, the water is always cold. Very cold, even in summer.
So I just accepted its not my thing and that’s ok. I join the same friend for other things (like karaoke or hikes).

This is your invitation to be ok with being different from the rest of your ecosystem when it comes to training.
- If everybody lectures with slides, try using a handout or demonstrations instead.
- If everybody uses learner manuals, try a scavenger hunt or guided questions for a change.
- Instead of a 90 mins e-course, try breaking down the content in several sessions of 15 mins each.
- If the traditional way of sharing info in your world is through a presentation, try a case scenario or a newsletter.
You get the idea.
Take Action
Identify your rut and this post is your permission to be different. Be creative, try new things.
Who knows, inspiration might hit in!
