Your Brain at Work

In previous episodes of our podcast, we've discussed the importance of designing learning experiences with the brain in mind to maximize learning effectiveness. In doing so, we've shared what the NeuroLeadership Institute's research indicates are the four active ingredient for effective long-term learning and retention: attention, generation, emotion, and spacing, all four of which come together to form the AGES model.

This model can be applied effectively at the scale-focused strategic level, but also at each tactical touchpoint... and in this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Dr. Emma Sarro — our senor director of research — and Dr. David Rock draw on lessons learned from one of our favorite learning experiences — the NeuroLeadership Summit — to illuminate learning event tactics that ensure knowledge and behavior change makes an impact in the moment, sticks for the long-term, and ensures that the lessons instilled are easily recalled under pressure.

The preponderance of spurious factoids about the brain — and its impact on our everyday lives — might just prove that there's a major difference between information and insight. That misleading information can be costly, especially when those myths follow us into the workplace. That's why, on this episode of "Your Brain at Work", Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro connect to expore — and expose — common neuroscience myths... and then point us in the right direction.
