What is Lived Experience and why is it valuable?

Lived Experience — everyone has it — all of us on various subjects, so why is it important?

Significant life events, both positive and negative, shape our perspectives and understanding of the world. Lived experience is acquired through our unique journeys of life. It is the cumulative knowledge, wisdom, and understanding gained as we go through life.

Lived Experience acquired through direct, personal involvement in various life situations and events offers differing windows from academic training knowledge-sets. It is something everyone has, and similar to academic training varies in its degree of depth.

Consider the time-honored ritual of apprenticeship — learning by doing. Or, on-the-job training. Or, life-long learning. Hands-on experience.

Lived Experience knowledge-sets combined with other skill-sets leverage practical, cost-effective solutions, risk mitigation, and beneficial insights.
