As a number of TTN speakers have said, if you really want to learn something from top to bottom, the best way to do it is to teach it to someone else. This forces you to really study, really get to know that subject – and the more you learn about it, the better you’ll be able to teach it. The more you teach it, the more you will absorb it. It will become ingrained in your mind, and the lesson, whatever it may be, will become second nature to you. It’s one of those great cyclical win-win things. Not only do you learn it really well, you also impart that knowledge to someone else. By giving your knowledge, you actually gain more knowledge. How cool is that?

For example, say there’s a TTN course you really like and really want to not only get those principles down, but want your employees to learn them, as well. Of course, you can just have them watch the course, but why not make a project of it? Print out the accompanying materials and guide your employees through the course. Discuss it. Ask questions. Answer questions. This way, the material will gain a more solid foothold in everyone’s knowledge base.
