Shownotes

Three Models of Team Learning

• Train everyone at once — builds shared language, but not everyone is ready at the same time

• Self-directed learning — works for highly motivated individuals, but lacks accountability

• Small-group learning — the sweet spot: peer accountability, shared momentum, and just-in-time relevance

Why Learning Together Works

• Creates natural accountability and deadlines

• Helps people apply concepts to their own real work

• Especially valuable for product leaders, who rarely have built-in peers to learn alongside

Group Coaching vs. One-on-One Coaching

• Individual: sounding board, holding space, powerful questions

• Group/team: real work in the room, peer learning, bridges between leaders who rarely collaborate

• Keep participants as close colleagues — trust and vulnerability go up when people already know each other

Key Takeaways

• Start a book club — debriefing together beats reading alone

• Train pilot teams before rolling out org-wide

• Encourage duos or trios to take courses together

• Match your learning format to your actual goal

• Keep coaching groups tight for more honest, productive sessions
