Our Workshops
Be the Place People Want to Work: Developing a Culture of Continuous Learning
People want to work for companies that value learning and growing. Prioritizing learning can help retain and attract talent in today’s competitive business environment. In this workshop, we dive into the value of offering employees ongoing opportunities to cultivate the skills they need to support your organization’s priorities and their own professional goals, and how to make this happen within your organization.
Leveraging the Superpower of Meaningful Feedback
Feedback is a powerful tool that can improve employee engagement and performance. In fact, Gallup data show that 80% of employees who say they have received meaningful feedback in the past week are fully engaged. In this workshop we examine what makes feedback meaningful, how to create a culture of constructive feedback within your organization, and techniques for giving and receiving feedback effectively.
Expanding Your Skills: The Growth Mindset Advantage
Those with a growth mindset are more likely to be able to accept criticism and persevere with difficult tasks. Why? Because they view these moments as learning opportunities. This not only enhances individual performance but also promotes innovation, collaboration, and overall organizational success. In this workshop we unpack the concept of growth mindset and what can get in the way of people truly embracing it, and provide practical strategies for cultivating a flexible, adaptable mindset.
How to Make Learning Stick
The key to successful training is designing learning experiences that promote the ability to effectively understand, remember, and apply knowledge and skills on the job. In this workshop we introduce the concept of deep learning versus surface learning and its impact on long-term retention, discuss the importance of making workplace learning relevant and meaningful, and present strategies you can use to encourage people to engage in reflection and self-assessment to deepen understanding and make learning more effective.
Making Space for Learning: Managing Cognitive Load and Increasing Mental Bandwidth
Understanding cognitive load and how to use it as a tool that enhances learning is one of the most important things we can do to design better learning experiences and to become more effective learners ourselves. In this workshop we dive into the principles underlying cognitive load, explore strategies for managing it effectively, and discuss ways to optimize mental bandwidth for effective learning and growth.
