As a learning professional, I have made a tremendous growth spurt during the course Designing Learning for the Brain. Both in how I design and facilitate learning. Understanding how our brain functions feels like essential knowledge for all learning (learning) professionals. I would recommend the program if you're interested in growing as a person and as a (learning) professional.

Joining this program was a game-changer for me. I learned so much and got very inspired by the creative ideas flowing around! We did all kinds of fun & engaging exercises that I can't wait to use in my workshops. I also liked that I got the chance to practice in a safe environment, with a small cohort of peers, facilitating a short workshop and exploring the world of embodied learning together. I feel way more confident now, and I know I'll use what I learned in my job. :)

I was fortunate to have been invited to take part in the Fundamentals of AI for L&D Leaders by Offbeat. I learned so much from the facilitators and my co-participants. The program is highly recommended for L&D professionals who want to know how they can leverage AI in their work!

The unique value of this session was not its engaging, fun, and dynamic format, but its structured approach that guided us from reflection to evaluation and then to action planning. This methodical, rule-based process ensured objectivity and fairness, allowing us to develop a clear understanding of our roles and the expectations associated with them.

Oh, so many things! But don't take our word for it. Explore what you'll be capable of at the end of the program if you give it your all, of course.
Get a grasp on the fundamentals of how your brain takes in and processes information, stores it (memory) and how we often work against the system.
Once you have an understanding of the operational system, you’ll be able to understand and apply knowledge and methods to learn better with more strategy and intention.
Be able to look at the way you design learning through the lens of the brain and the operating system. This is where you’ll learn to integrate function and theory and become more aware of the advantages and limitations you have when designing learning.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in this amazing learning journey with Lauren. The program focused on understanding how to learn and how to design more successful learning, and I cannot express enough how transformative the experience has been for me. The program not only provided a deep dive into the intricacies of the brain's learning mechanisms but also equipped me with practical strategies to enhance my own learning and cognitive abilities.
Sandra Murillo-Sandoval, Learning & Development Specialist at Amber
I appreciate the time and effort invested into designing and delivering the program. The content was very relevant and highly practical filled with vivid and on-point examples. Lena is a fantastic facilitator! She made everyone feel included and ensured we all had our chance to ask questions, contribute, and practice.

The workshop was really a good experience for me personally. I’ve worked on aspects of learning experience design across my work, however, the workshop brings together the key concepts and frameworks in a very structured manner and helped me learn and think about various elements.
