In the old days, we used to use a lot of sports analogies. We got considerable pushback from those who aren’t “sports people.” So over the years, I’ve switched to cooking examples, because everybody eats. This video about chopping an onion is a favorite. Gordon Ramsay does a super job of showing how to slide an onion the way the professionals do it. However, after watching it only once, it’s almost impossible for most people to do it right. In fact, it takes practice and watching the video several times. So an excellent Learning Path for slicing an onion is a mixing of watching the video, practice, and feedback. If you added into your Learning Path, chopping about 10 bags of onions, you’d be very proficient.

This video speaks for itself. It highlights the difference between how people teach and how we actually learn. However, it is one the best illustrations of waste in training. Waste, of course, is anything that doesn’t add value. Learning things one day, and then forgetting them the next has really no value and is therefore waste.
