Britt Andreatta joins us for her first session of IDIODC! We chat about incorporating brain science into the pivots that are occurring in learning design/ delivery due to workplace changes in the era of COVID19.

The neuroscience of learning is always a hot topic.  

We covered a lot of ground in this edition of IDIODC and thankfully our guest has three fantastic books to extend the conversation.  

Learning, connecting, and change are all inter-related in ways that can only be explained by understanding some of our most basic neurobiology.  To simplify the topic is complicated, but our guest today did an amazing job walking us through the basics.  

Dr. Britt Andreatta’s message is timely as so many businesses still struggle with the human impact of the COVID19 pandemic. Under normal circumstances change is hard for individuals, organizations, and cultures. But in 2020, we're struggling to adapt, collaborate, and learn, while the unstable world continues to spin around us.  

As an attendee said in the chat forum, “This is probably the first time in history corporate America cares about our health/mindset.”  Sadly, this sentiment rings true for all of us. We’ve all experienced bad management, bad leadership, and bad working environments in general. It’s taken a global pandemic to awaken the C suite to the sensitive nature of its #1 asset: its people.

Take an hour and enjoy this episode of IDIODC with Dr. Andreatta and the IDIODC community to reflect on your own experiences in 2020. Her message will resonate with everyone.
