  1. Unlearn: Unlearning starts with acknowledging that what you're doing now isn't working. You need to let go of past viewpoints or behaviours, then take action.
  2. Relearn: As you unlearn, you can take in new data and perspectives. You must be willing to be open to information that goes against your beliefs. You may need to learn how to learn again. You must create an environment for relearning.
