 Why social learning?
Apply your learning
1 The Learning Amig@, Manager check-ins, and experimentation activities are not designed to be more work, rather serve as
opportunities to apply what you are learning anyway, in a more effective, planful and purposeful way. You will be using some
of the tools and learning you have gained, to achieve better outcomes and improve your impact and influence.

Build relationships
The interactions with the learning Amigo@, peer coaching trios and manager serves to deepen connections and further build
2 your network. As well, the discussions allow for reflection (an essential leadership task). It provides and opportunity to reflect
on the kind of leader you are and want to be so that you can lead more authentically in their day-to-day.

Become more strategic

Many leaders are guided to be more strategic if they want to progress in their careers and we found that most don't really
3 understand what ‘being strategic’ means. There is an assumption that it is about ‘blue sky’ thinking and long-term business
planning only. Being strategic is also about intentional, planful and purposeful leadership - taking the right approach for the
situation, or the person, in the context, and for the task/project. It requires skills such as empathy, thoughtfulness and agility.

Important points to note:

●Your Learning Amig@ connection will follow a
virtual workshop. Sometimes fairly quickly
afterwards, or you may have a bigger gap to give
you time to complete the other activities on the
Degreed pathway ahead of your conversation.
●Experimentation with your team is not
necessarily connected to a week. We would
recommend you start sharing your learning and
trying out some of your new skills and approaches
as soon as possible to increase the chance that
you will transfer your learning into your ways of
working!
