Sifting through to find the nugget of gold….

I attended a business finance course today….. I learned three things. 
Firstly I learned that when the trainer is unfamiliar with the intricacies of the course content, it can make it difficult to to decipher some of the information. It simply does not translate.
Secondly I learned that for all the ‘models’ and ‘channels’ one might use. There is no substitute for common sense and self knowledge. knowledgeable of you client base. Whilst I am no finance expert. I could divi up my activities under financial titles quite easily and realised that I was intuitively and naturally doing lots of it already. Then I could add the knowledge I was given on top. A lovely combination.
The third thing was that the real nugget of knowledge I gained was a total aside. Had I not been there, however, had I not sat through two hours of PowerPoint, I would not have met the individual I did. I would but therefore have gained the essential info I didn’t even know I needed until I was handed it.
So what’s the lesson? I suppose it’s ‘take what you need’ from any experience. We no longer need to swallow information whole, as we were taught at schoo,  so that we could regurgitate it on-demand. We can attend an event, we can sift through all the information and wait until the nugget of gold that we really seek shows right up.
Trust you will recognise your own nugget when you see it.
