A trainer does not learn just for himself. He needs knowledge and skills for the further development of his team. He therefore learns best through problems on which he can research and analyze. He then communicates his findings through discussions, which leads to a deepening of his knowledge. Helpful are own sketches, graphics, excursions (sensory + motor) which are then used for the group work and personal discussions (dialogues).

Each basic need has a particular way of learning.

The need to belong says: My advantage is that I can remember well what was said. Even if it doesn’t seem like it, I listen. Then when I discuss it with others, it quickly becomes clear if I’m off base or if what I’ve understood is true. Yes, I think I learn best when I try to teach it to others. Take a paper, for example. When I prepare it, I talk to people internally and listen in my imagination to see if it resonates with them. It may sound strange, but I can talk to them about it in my mind and usually find an example that is coherent for everyone.

The cognition part has a simple opinion: I always learn when I am awake. I am simply a very curious person and want to recognize and know everything. Thereby I compare what is with what I expect and with what I have already experienced. Every difference is a new realization. I take note of something. If I want to feel something exactly, I take it in my hand, turn it back and forth. Everything has several sides, and I don’t want to miss anything. To learn I have to move, at least my hands, I walk up and down and also like to use an excursion before I draw, analyze and describe the realization.
