#commonlanguage

As unitarists, we first need to agree on a common language, which can then pave the way for a modern European culture. #BuildBackBetter

Working in technology for many years, there seemed to always be a new self help book on building up skills to be more successful, organized, a better leader etc. In 2005, I had a manager/mentor that read many of these types of books. Up to this point I had never really given “self improvement books” a chance as the “buzz words” in the books seemed flashy and geared towards selling books rather than real world results. This particular mentor changed that perception as he was wildly successful and credited his ideas, business culture concepts and business lingo to the books he was inspired by. Often organizations such as AT&T, Xerox, and even Apple develop internally or purchase systems for measuring competencies, performance and developing a common language based around said competencies for building successful employees. I was reminded of this as I read chapter 4 of Matera’s book on the language of learning. On pg. 38 Matera calls out his own inspiration from a fellow teacher and friend Adam Moreno on the concept of “purpose driven learning”. This style of learning being identified by ten qualities of highly successful individuals: confidence, creativity, enthusiasm, effort, focus, resilience, initiative, curiosity, dependability and empathy. Matera, in his classroom by building a “common language” was creating a highly functioning team environment similar to what you would see at a startup tech company with a culture of success! When I develop training for an employer I often start buy asking questions around common language and company culture to help build a narrative that incorporates these elements into the design. No one wants to work toward “hollow or nebulous goals” at work so the journey in your design should allow for learner ownership in driving the process. (Matera, 2015)  Matera references Gabe Zichermann work in gamification, creating the SAS model for motivation and the G Summit for expanding game mechanics in business education and non entertainment industries. Gabe has a great TED talk on kids and game effect on intelligence here: https://www.ted.com/talks/gabe_zichermann_how_games_make_kids_smarter#t-354563. I find it intensely inspiring to hear data the supports positive neurological growth benefits when using various gaming platforms, however I do believe in moderation as we can ill afford cognitive gains at the expense of other undiscovered developmental drawbacks.
