Raise your hand if you’ve done the one-day course!
You know the six-hour, all-day learning opportunity—the one with the workbook that’s still sitting on the shelf, largely untouched since the course ended?
Now, think about it: how much of that content do you actually remember? And more importantly, how much of it have you applied?
The human brain is a remarkable machine, but it has its limits. It’s not designed to absorb and retain large amounts of information in one go. That’s where Learning Sprints come in.
What Are Learning Sprints?
Learning Sprints are short, intensive, and hyper-focused sessions that break down larger topics into manageable chunks. Here’s why they work:
Reduced cognitive load: By tackling smaller pieces of information, your brain processes and retains knowledge more effectively.
Focused attention: Short sessions allow you to stay fully engaged, without the fatigue of lengthy workshops.
Spaced learning: Learning over time enhances long-term retention and skill mastery.
Application-based: You can immediately apply new skills between sessions, deepening understanding and increasing confidence.
Take emotional intelligence and the Bar-On model, which includes 15 key elements. Instead of spending six hours on all 15 at once, a Learning Sprint dedicates one hour to three related elements. This focused approach enables learners to:
Dive deeply into each element.
Reflect on how to apply their learning in a specific area.
Take actionable steps to develop skills before the next session.
By applying what you learn in real time, you’re not just ticking boxes—you’re evolving in meaningful, measurable ways.
CLS Connection courses leverage Learning Sprints to help learners achieve practical results. Each session is designed to support application, reflection, and growth, ensuring that participants move the needle forward instead of simply adding another certificate to their collection.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about how many courses you’ve taken—it’s about how much you’ve grown.
