Getting content into our learners long term memory is not quite as simple as telling them. That content must pass some pretty strict gatekeepers (filters) along its journey to long term memory - and these gatekeepers like nothing more than discarding your content.
This 5-day challenge (7-11 November 2022) has been designed to give you the 'inside' information about what these gatekeepers like and dislike. Armed with this information, along with some practical techniques that you can use to woo each gatekeeper, your content will be well on their way to your learners long term memory.
Think of this Challenge as a 2-in-1. Learn and apply from the challenge BUT notice how the challenge is structured and facilitated so that you can create and develop a training challenge for your own training as either a pre-workshop or post workshop challenge.

Discover how to help your learners Amygdala pass your content and to what to avoid if you don't want your content ending up in the Reactive brain.
Day 3 - Passing The Hippocampus
The Hippocampus is the third brain filter your content has to pass if it is to make it to long term memory.
Discover how to stop your learners Hippocampus performing useful forgetfulness on your content and ensure that your content makes it past the Hippocampus and into the Pre-Frontal Cortex.
Day 4 - Storing Content Via The Pre-Frontal Cortex
Your content has made it to the Pre-Frontal Cortex and into long term memory!!
But, if it's made it here, why do we forget things and what can we do to stop this happening?
Day 5 - Transferring Content From The Training Room To Learning In The Workplace
