The best leaders are the hungriest learners.

Tying learning to music is so powerful that it has been harnessed as a tool for a variety of therapies. There are some incredible successstories with military veterans with traumatic brain injury, stroke victims, and people with autism.

A memory begins as an experience that we encode into our brain through our senses. That memory is then stored until we engage in some act of recall or recollection and then it comes back into our conscious awareness.

One of the biggest insights from brain science has to do with how our memories are made. We used to think it was repetition, which many of us experienced during our education, as we were forced to write or recite things again and again. But it turns out that it is retrieval, not repetition, that makes the difference. For conceptual learning, the evidence is clear: it is the act of retrieval—having to recall something we’ve learned—that makes learning memorable.

We all hunger to become… to learn and improve and grow.

A true growth culture is safe for people to take risks and make mistakes. In other words, to learn.
