May is Teacher Appreciation Month
This month is a great opportunity to remember the teachers in your life and celebrate their passion, their patience and their commitment to your personal journey.I've always hated the saying, "Those who can, do; those who can't teach." It was first used as a line George Bernard Shaw's play, Man and Superman and it has done all of us in the learning profession a great disservice for decades since. I prefer to say "Those who can, had the benefit of great teachers." I know I am writing to an audience who will agree with me.

Podcast: Dr. Britt Andreatta - Thought leader in leadership and learning
Dr. Britt Andreatta is an internationally recognized thought leader in leadership and learning. Drawing on her unique background in leadership, psychology, education and the human sciences, she has a profound understanding of how to unlock the best in people, helping organizations rise to their potential. Britt and I have been following each other for several years and we've finally connected as speakers at the upcoming ATD ICE conference. We had a chance to share our mutual fascination with the brain and learning in this interview. You can learn more about her and her company, 7th Mind, at

Neuroscience and Learning Panel Discussion with Training Journal
 I recently had the pleasure to join a panel discussion sponsored by the prestigious global magazine, Training Journal. Our host, Jo Cook, was the consummate emcee and kept things moving along. We had over 100 live participants and three scholar-practitioners to answer their questions in real-time. You can catch the recorded session here. Checkout the magazine and consider getting a free subscription to keep up with global developments in the learning profession.
We have already taped the event, so

The Day Everything Changed: How AI Changed the Way We Learn in 2027
While science fiction depicts a world where intelligent robots rebel and overthrow their human masters, the more likely scenario is a world where human beings interface with computers, digital assistants and other technologies virtually seamlessly, changing just about everything we know about work today. Also unlike science fiction, this world is only a few years, perhaps a decade away. Are you ready for the educational singularity? What does it look like and what skills will you need as a learning professional in this brave new world? This interactive session focuses on advances in science technology that are happening today and we can expect those changes to affect talent development in our very near future. You will come away with at least three actions to begin today to develop the skills you will need in a world of augmented intelligence, brain-to-pc interfaces and more.

Essentials of Brain-Based Learning (Live online: Sep 7-21, 2017 and more)
Spaces are filling quickly! Register today to be sure you don't miss this live event.
If you could understand what was happening in the brains of your target audience, would you be a more effective trainer, designer, consultant, or leader? Thanks to recent advances in neuroscience, learning and talent development professionals now have an opportunity to alter their approaches to change management, leadership development, training, and instructional design. Learn how the brain receives, encodes, and retrieves information to construct knowledge, and use these insights to improve your learning programs.

Training Magazine 2017 Online Learning Conference (Sept 25-27, New Orleans) - Learning Begins After Class: The Forgetting Curve in Online Learning
Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve demonstrates how quickly we forget new information. Within the first 10 minutes, your learner has already forgotten a significant amount of the information that you worked hard to convey in your online course. Within 24 hours, most learners will forget at least half of your content and retention continues to decrease steadily after that. So why are so many online learning courses designed with a "one and done" approach? In this 60-minute session you will learn how the brain deliberately "forgets" and how you can overcome the forgetting curve through purposeful follow-up and reinforcement after training has taken place. You will walk away with a plan to build value in your learning designs through reinforcement that is grounded in learning science.
Join me in New Orleans to learn simple, easy-to-implement activities and challenges to enhance memory and retention after class is finished.

Join Me at TLDC in January, 2018!
Last year, I was honored to join the team for the first
T
raining, Learning and Development Conference (TLDC). This innovative conference is built around learning best practices, so you can come back from the conference refreshed, with new neural pathways already firing from new connections, new insights and the time to absorb and reflect. This year, I'm proud to support the planning of our next "unconference" in January. It will be based right in my hometown - Phoenix, AZ. Watch for more news soon and join the TLDC community to stay in touch with fellow learning professionals.
