Overview of Learning Styles This is not a test!!
What’s your style? Visual Auditory Kinesthetic
Visual – Linguistic taking notes as they are formed on the paper direct eye contact
Visual-Spatial charts & maps demonstrations, videos personal inner map
Identifying the Visual humour – self and others comfortable talking about physical world accesses inner imagery by looking up
The Visual in Training COLOUR
NORTH DAIRY SHELBOURNE HAULTAIN FERNWOOD YATES DOUGLAS BURNSIDE INTERURBAN BURNSIDE HASTINGS HOLLAND HELMCKEN WATKISS WAY
Conversing with the Visual “I see…” “Picture this…” “Can you show me?” “I want the big picture…”
The eyes have it
Identifying the Auditory needs to hear what you’re saying listens and repeats accesses inner representations by looking side to side
The Auditory in Training speaks up in groups dialogues and debates uses verbal memory aids

Conversing with the Auditory easy formal conversationalist humour – storytelling, verbal analogies “I hear that…” “ Sounds good to me…” “Tell me again…”
It’s a verbal thing
Identifying The Kinesthetic learns by doing engagesphysically brainstorms physically “lets walk and talk”
The Kinesthetic In Training learns better standing or slouching doodling or fiddling with objects owns the skill by doing it often learns from mistakes
I DROVE IT!! TWICE!!
Conversing with the Kinesthetic activity = concentration minimizes visual input
Conversing with the Kinesthetic “I feel…” “Let’s touch base…” “I can embrace that…”
Kinesthetic Tip – Do it – learn it!
Reaching out to the Auditory intros & summaries activities – games, discussion groups, debriefing ask questions – develops debate & dialogue guest speakers
Reaching out to the Kinesthetic movement frequent breaks busy hands = busy minds taste/scent visualize complex tasks
A positive approach for a positive outcome every time
The ordinary hamburger Nice work … … but
New Improved Gourmet Hamburger Nice work… Next time… The result will be…
