Home > Making Learning Stick: The Brain Science Behind Effective Organizational Learning

2025 Talent Conference & Expo
 

Sometimes even our best professional development plans and successful workshops don't lead to the long-term changes we want to see. Together, we will discuss common learning traps that cause skill development to fall short at all levels of your organization and how to apply brain science to make learning stick. Leveraging more than 25 years’ experience in education, Dr. Teresa Peterson will shine a light on the gap between brain science and corporate training to revolutionize your approach; she will share three specific strategies you can build into your next workshop or professional development calendar right away.

Learning Outcome 1: Examine common pitfalls of corporate training linked to the science of learning.

Learning Outcome 2: Explore how new habits are formed in the brain and how to support meaningful and lasting learning at work.

Learning Outcome 3: Analyze three strategies and the role they could play in your next workshop or in your long-term professional development calendar.
