Real Learning
The missing manual for do-it-yourself learners
Copyright 2015 by Jay Cross
These are the current (beta) graphics from Real Learning.
I believe all non-fiction books communicate best with illustrations. As you’ll see, this book is chock full of them.
Pictures provide another means of getting to the message. They reinforce the concepts in the text. They’re also a graphic index to the book, the site, and the content. For many, they’re the only part of Real Learning they will read.
Please don’t share this file with others; it’s beta-beta-beta. I assembled most of this by cutting and pasting drawings licensed from Common Craft. The concept is there; time will tell if I improve the execution.

Aha!
Work smarter and have greater impact.Learn faster and remember more.Work out loud. Embrace openness.Co-create knowledge with colleagues.Plan how to achieve your growth
goals.Become the person you aspire to be.
Learn from experience without instructors or classrooms.
Real Learning is for me. It’s self-directed learning. It focuses on two areas: what I need to do to keep up with my job and what experience I need to advance in my career.
They said I was responsible for my own learning, but I don’t know where to start or what to do. It feels haphazard.
Real Learning is based on what
neurologists and learning scientists
have foundto be most effective.
Do-it-yourself learning.

Seeing a photo of a lightbulb can increase your creative capacity by 15%. One of many science findings that you can apply to learn more naturally.
Copyright 2015 by Jay Cross
Scientists have discovered lots about how we learn and grow, but most of the findings never make it down to workers who have to get
the job done and people who want to advance.
I created the Real Learning Project to share advice on what works with people who are striving to learn and
prosper.

Your Progress Log (“Plog”) is key to your learning.
Your Plog may be a blog or a journal.
Record your goals.
Jot down what you learn (and how) every day. Reflect on your progress
every week.

Maybe I can get assigned to the new AI project here. I’d sure learn a lot.
I am keeping track of my daily progress.
I share what I am doing with
my peers.
I’ve got my personal network in
place. Bots bring new stuff to my
attention. I curate my team’s research.

Set your goals and review them frequently.
Assess your level of commitment and motivated skills, and core values.
Consider what you are proud of and what makes you feel good about yourself.
Think about where you want to be five years from now, ten years, twenty years.
Write down your major goals at work, in your career, and for your life.

You will achieve more by leveraging your strengths than by shoring
up your weaknesses.

School probably taught you it’s okay to learn about something
rather than to learn to do it. Lessons that aren’t tied to action
have no staying power.
You learn by living your life, doing your job, and
paying attention.
Experience is the best teacher.

I learn bits and pieces, sometimes without even realizing it. In the end, it all comes together, and superior performance is the result.
Learning from experience is tough.
Not learning from experience is the end
of the road. I learn as I work, not apart from it.
I learn what I need to know. It’s always relevant, unlike
some workshops I’ve attended.

80+% of professional learning is informal.

What Jane Hart calls Modern Workplace Learning is social.
We learn from one another. “We store our knowledge in our friends.”
We share information and collaborate. Our networks and “life lines” are vital to our performance.
Each one teach one.
Learning is social.

The focus has shifted from knowing stuff to
getting things done. You learn experientially — in the course of doing your
job. It’s a new deal entirely.

“No more courses,
no more books.” In a complex world where progress is
accelerating, learning is the
work.

The #1 way to increase your learning on the job is to tackle challenging assignments.

Great. Our new robotics group could use a hand. Why
don’t we get you assigned there for the next quarter?I’d like to take on
some new challenges.
“Stretch” assignments provide a powerful way to learn and grow.

Real Learning
The missing manual for do-it-yourself learners
Copyright 2015 by Jay Cross
JAY CROSS has shaped the way millions of professionals make decisions. He designed the first business degree program at the University of Phoenix and literally wrote the book on Informal Learning. A champion of experiential learning and systems thinking, Jay’s calling is to create happier, more productive workplaces. He is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard but was struck by how much more one learns from life than from schooling. He leads The Real Learning Project and is CEO of the Internet Time Alliance.
