L&D Backstage: Turning Science into Lasting Behaviour Change
🛠️ L&D Backstage: Practical show & tell sessions. Present your projects step-by-step, showcasing both design and implementation. Real-world insights, straight to the point.
✨ Participation: Presentation + Q&A at the end
Why do some things stick in our memory while others disappear almost instantly? And why is knowing what to do so different from actually doing it?
Welcome to The Learning Lab; where psychology meets practice! In this interactive session, we'll uncover the science behind how people learn, what makes knowledge stick, and what it takes to turn insights into lasting behaviour change.
Expect to challenge common assumptions, experiment with evidence-based learning techniques, and discover how small changes in the way we learn can make a big difference in how we think, work and behave. Whether you're curious about human behaviour, interested in a career in learning and development, or simply want to learn smarter, you'll leave with practical ideas you can put to use straight away.
KEY TAKE-AWAYS
- Identify the psychological and environmental barriers that prevent people from applying what they learn.
- Use practical behavioural techniques, including cues, prompts and small changes to routines, to turn learning into action.
- Design learning experiences that help people move beyond understanding a concept to consistently applying it in everyday situations.
