Speaking to the Brain in Pictures
The Neuroscience of Infographics
Your brain dedicates about 25% of its entire processing power to vision, which probably explains why we understand images 60,000 times faster than words or numbers. So why are we filling our training materials with so much text when we can tell the story better in pictures? Social media and news organizations have long recognized the value of infographics to convey complex information quickly, achieving maximum understanding and retention. In this interactive presentation you will:
-
Discover how the brain processes visual and text information
-
Explore five proven ways to condense complex information into compelling visual representation
-
Explore multiple free tools and templates for creating your own infographics
-
Apply a five-step process for building infographics for learning
-
Access additional resources for further exploration

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.

Ready or Not: Developing Leaders Without Real-World Experience Using Neuroscience
If you have kept abreast of the literature in the past few years, it is fairly common knowledge that there are not enough people to fill the gaps left by the Baby Boomers as they exit the workforce. While most research and articles which address this looming crisis look to overcoming the skills gap, this paper looks beyond entry level to the leadership level. If younger generations are lacking the technical skills to be successful, they certainly will not have the leadership skills which typically take years on-the-job and vast experience to develop. This presentation suggests an evidence-based approach to accelerate the rate at which leaders can gain valuable insight and experience to prepare them for the challenges of leadership.
