Episode 57: Unlearn with Barry O'Reilly

Unlearn With Barry O'Reilly TableXI is now offering training for developers and products teams! For more info, email [e-mail]. Summary Our guest today is Barry O’Reilly, author of the book “Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results”. In it, he sets out a process for defining outcomes, identifying behaviors that might help or hinder reaching the outcomes, and then unlearning existing behaviors and relearning new ones. We talk about how that process works, how to use it yourself, how it might fail, and what Barry unlearned for himself in the process of writing the book. We’d like to hear from you.
