PickleWork
When something matters, learning becomes part of finding your way there.
PickleWork gives you somewhere to explore what is happening, discover what helps and keep hold of what you learn along the way—without having to carry the whole process in your head.
Something worth moving toward
Learning is rarely the whole reason.
It might begin with a deep curiosity, a piece of work you want to do well, something you want to create or a part of life you want to open up.
Sometimes we know what we want to move toward, but not yet what getting there will ask of us. We may be extending something we already do well, preparing for a new challenge, finding an approach that suits us or working out why progress changes across different situations.
PickleWork creates room to notice more, experiment with what helps and let what you discover shape where you go next.
A place to work with the process
See more. Try thoughtfully. Keep what matters.
Whether you are building from strength, stretching into something new or meeting a difficult part, each experience can add to what comes next.
See more of what you’re working with
Bring the task, your developing capability and the conditions around them into clearer view. Notice what is already working, what is taking shape and where further movement might matter.
Discover what helps you move
Explore ideas, test approaches and learn what supports your thinking and performance across different situations—not merely what gets you through one moment.
Keep hold of what you discover
Give useful observations, emerging questions, developing capability and possible next steps somewhere to live—so each experience can contribute to what comes next.
Two ways to begin
Come in through an experience or an idea.
There is no need to understand the whole of PickleWork before you begin. Start with the doorway that catches.
Learning Encounters
Explore a small set of learning experiences
Move through four short experiences that open out what can otherwise feel like one solid answer. At the end, you can choose to bring the pieces together in a free Learning Picture.
A place to wander
Or begin with something that makes you think
Explore small ideas about what we notice, what we conclude and what may be happening beneath the experience we can see.
PickleWork membership
Give what you discover somewhere to keep developing.
Membership gives you a personal space to work with different undertakings over time—to explore what is happening, collect what proves useful, work with developing capability and return without having to reconstruct everything in your head.
