| 0:00.0 | skill 14 is learning agility and this is one that I think we've spent quite a lot |
| 0:06.3 | time on because we have done a full podcast episode on it we came up with a whole assessment |
| 0:11.2 | that we'll tell you about in a few minutes so it's something we really care about and it's |
| 0:14.3 | something we've got lots to help you with but why and what is learning agility so this is about |
| 0:18.9 | your ability to do things that you have not done before. |
| 0:22.7 | So learning agility enables us to sort of succeed in situations that are new. And if you kind |
| 0:28.6 | of deconstruct learning agility into kind of what are the things that make it up, |
| 0:32.3 | there are three things that contribute towards it. So this is about navigating newness. It is about understanding |

| 1:22.6 | session on AI. And it was a three hour training session. So when was the last time you've done, you've done something you're not done before? I was like, oh, I've literally just spent three hours doing |
| 1:30.4 | loads of things that I'd not done before, trying out new AI tools that I'd never even heard of, |
| 1:35.7 | that I'd never experimented with. And actually, that didn't feel too uncomfortable. And I was reflecting |
| 1:41.0 | on why. And I think that's because we were being a beginner together. |
| 1:45.7 | So we were doing the AI training as a group. |
