Exercises

Exercising does not need to be complex. The key is to practice the right objectives and learn lessons for the real thing.

Training without exercising is like studying swimming techniques without ever entering water.

Exercising provides the critical bridge between understanding concepts and their practical application. Unlike passive learning, active engagement through exercise prepares individuals to adapt their thinking in the moment—a crucial skill in rapidly changing environments.

Well-designed exercises provide immediate feedback, allowing participants to identify their strengths and weaknesses and areas for self-improvement and professional development.
