5 Top Tips for Distilling Your Learning
- Take a breather: After an intense travel period, it's crucial to take a step back and give yourself time to process and reflect on your experiences. Resist the urge to dive straight into creating your report; instead, give yourself space to distil the most significant learnings and insights.
- Authenticity matters: Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to sharing your learnings. Your report or dissemination method should be authentic to you and tailored to your audience. Don't feel constrained by traditional formats; explore creative ways to communicate your experiences effectively.
- Written reports are optional: While a written report can be a valuable tool, it's not a mandatory requirement. Feel free to explore alternative dissemination methods, such as presentations, workshop materials, or multimedia projects, that may better suit your style and the nature of your learnings.
- Seek support: If you're feeling unsure about how to best distil or disseminate your learnings, don't hesitate to reach out to our Research & Engagement Managers Claire and Naomi. They can serve as a sounding board, offering guidance and suggestions to help you find the most effective approach.
- Keep it concise: If you decide to write a report, aim for a maximum of 30 pages. This length encourages you to focus on the most essential insights and present them in a clear, concise manner, making your report more engaging and accessible to your audience.
Remember, the goal is to share your learnings in a way that resonates with your audience and inspires further exploration or action. Embrace the process, and don't hesitate to seek support when needed.
