“Ah-ha!” moment

Today I was presented to an unconventional way to report about my learnings on an event. I was supposed to describe my “Ah-ha!” moments and why I had them.

This approach is about your discoveries, your “Eureka” moments, and seemed to be very well received by all the participants of the event. It made me rethink about my capacity of making every opportunity an “Ah-ha!” moment.

It is interesting because you can add more color to some facts that should seem secondary at a first glance, such as the behaviors and small attitudes you saw.

Sometimes we are so involved into our experience, that we don’t feel able to learn from others and see through their perspective. We forget that every opportunity may take a round “Ah-ha!” from our mouth!

We may already know what is being exposed to us. We know that so much that we already forgot how we started it, the difficulties we have gone through to make it as natural as it is right now.

But when we force ourselves to look at that experiences with a discovery perspective, and we remember all the effort we had. The “Ah-ha!” is stronger, because we learn again, and now with some background.

Now I am very glad to have learned and applied this new approach.

Looking forward to my next “Ah-ha!”
