Lauren is a Learning Consultant, Educator, and the Founder of The Learning Pirate. She works with organisations to create bespoke, scientifically designed learning programmes using the latest cognitive and behavioural science. She has received qualifications in Neuroscience from Harvard and John Hopkins University.

In this fun and wide-ranging conversation, we explore:

— What’s happening in the brain during the learning process

— How to leverage the principles of metacognition to become intentional about your learning process

— How to use science-based learning strategies such as interleaving and spaced repetition to accelerate your learning and increase your retention.

And more.

Lauren has recently launched a new interactive learning series called Joining Forces with Your Brain. This pairs the latest research on optimising your brain for peak performance, with science-based learning strategies that enhance your ability to learn.

Lauren has one true calling, to increase our abilities to learn and be more optimal humans by getting to know, experience, and join forces with our brains.

As a credentialed science translator (Neuroscience, Medical Neuroscience) Lauren is one of the first learning designers in the world to merge the operational function of the brain with cognitive theories, spearheading the evolution of optimizing learning design.

As both a designer and keynote speaker, she has taken people through transformative journeys of curiosity, spanning the globe (Japan, Australia, Canada, USA, Europe, UK), applying her talents to some of the most prominent industries (finance, hospitality, IT, retail, insurance, Edtech) and organizations (Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Tata Consultancy Services, Allstate Insurance, Tokyo Disney Land, Social Bakers, KPMG,).

Whether you’re ending one journey or starting another, Lauren has one motto you’re sure not to forget.

YARR!! You Are Really Ready!
