RAS and Focus

The Reticular Activating System is a part of our brain’s hardware that is responsible for focusing attention. Of all the millions of pieces of information in our environment, we are required to focus on only one piece at a time to achieve success at almost any task. Our RAS works continuously to assist us with this process.

As trainers we are required to be virtual tour guides for our participants’ RAS systems, consistently and persistently pointing their focus in the direction of whatever topic is currently on the agenda. This accelerated style of learning is firstly about gaining this attention, holding it and then ensuring we have provided sufficient anchors and motivation for retaining it.

Our aim is to provide workshops and materials that are entertaining enough to gain attention, stimulating enough to engage and involve participants, vivid enough to remember and practical enough to be applied easily in the workplace or in general life

RING RING, RING RING "Hello Oddball Training, how can we make you smile?"

"Hello, I need to source some training and development, but it needs to be different, can you help?"

This is how many of our phone conversations begin, "can you provide something different?". The answer is YES.

Since 1995 Oddball Training has taken innovation in learning to organisations throughout the UK with great results. We stimulate the imagination and emotions of your people.

Our Approach in more detail...

 

Show, tell, do, and teach

Oddball workshops are designed not only to impart vastly accelerated learning skills to participants, but to also be a showcase for the concepts being presented. We will continually ask you to be ‘in-frame’, as part of the workshop, and ‘out-frame’ as objective observers of the process.

All training sessions are devised and delivered in a brain friendly way and employ Multiple Intelligences, Brain Gym and NLP to achieve great results. We take delegates into a new realm of understanding of their own unique learning processes and then impart the tools and techniques required to apply these models and techniques to their lives.

Emotional Content

It is also imperative that our emotions become involved so as to facilitate the consolidation of memory and then application of concepts / ideas. Medical science still doesn’t have a firm handle on exactly how this memory process works, but several things have started to become clear.

We have to be able to ‘see ourselves’ doing it (whatever it is) which triggers off the ‘feeling’ of doing it – which is, physiologically, almost the same as doing it. In other words, if our mind believes we have done it, our bodies will react as if we have really done it. Participants are constantly immersed in this learning process so it becomes integrated with their current thinking patterns.

The biggest challenge for any training is to make the (what seems like) Quantum Leap from experiencing it in the training room to experiencing the same feelings and results in the workplace. We achieve this leap by focusing on activities, exercises and materials that stimulate delegates’ minds so that it ‘feels’ like they have fully experienced the new behaviour or desired behaviour change.
