\"\"<\/a>In nearly fourteen years of inventing practice for workplace learning, we’ve always said that practice changes behavior. \u00a0If you’ve had a chance to try out a new and challenging approach to a workplace situation, you’re more likely to remember it when you really need it on the job. \u00a0And remembering is the first step to doing.<\/p>\n
