The Physiology of Learning
July 8 | 11:30 a.m. CT | Zoom
This talk explores how different levels of brain function affect learning —from survival to executive thinking – and why it’s crucial for facilitators to tune into what’s happening outside the classroom before pushing their agenda. I’ll share how I’ve used this empathetic, brain-based approach—from a safety conference to Nike’s leadership training—where it not only resonated, but earned the highest ratings of the entire two-week program. Although this is my learning niche, you have your own – we will end with how to storytell what makes you unique in L&D! Presenter: Lauren Warren Nike, Foundational Expectations Lead Process Manager, NA Geo
