If you like me watch a lot of videos, you’ll be interested in this research on how to make the most of learning from the video medium.
The essence of the concept is to set yourself a series of pre-questions. Then watch with answering those questions in mind.
Some generic ones you may find useful include:
- how can I use this to be happier (more popular, more influential: whatever my heart desires) at work?
- when people do this, what benefits do they get?
- who else in my network, team or stakeholder-base would find this useful?
Try it on these videos:
- Amy Cuddy: Increase your confidence without too much fuss
- Robert Cialdini: 6 influence principles, animated!
- Brene Brown: Vulnerability makes you strong!
- Tim Harford: Get messy
- Clay Shirky: You are responsible for your own professional development
- and any of the videos in my inspiration category!
