Neuroscience for workplace learning – with Stella Collins.
In this episode of The Unforgettable Learning Podcast, Stella Collins, founder and Chief Learning Officer at Stellar Labs, delves into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and L&D. Drawing from her bestselling book "Neuroscience for Learning and Development," Stella unpacks how better understanding our brains can revolutionise workplace learning.
From debunking myths about rote learning to exploring the crucial role of context in memory formation, this conversation challenges conventional wisdom about corporate training. Stella introduces her GEAR model (Guide, Experiment, Apply, Retain), offering a fresh, science-based approach to learning design that prioritises transfer and application in the workplace.
The discussion touches on hot topics like the impact of AI on learning, the value of personalised learning experiences, and why traditional "knowledge dump" approaches often fall short. Stella's insights provide a compelling case for reimagining L&D practices to align with how our brains actually learn and retain information.
For L&D professionals looking to create more effective, brain-friendly learning experiences, this episode offers a wealth of practical advice grounded in neuroscience. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of workplace learning and how to use our understanding of the brain to drive real behavioral change and skill development in organisations.
