Humanising corporate learning: reflections on neuroscience-informed practice

In today’s B2B training landscape - shaped by automation, AI-powered platforms, tight deadlines, and performance metrics - learning often becomes fast, compressed, and outcome-driven. While efficient, it can easily lose the human dimension that makes learning stick. This talk invites B2B teachers and corporate trainers to rethink how we design and deliver training by aligning it with how the brain actually learns.
My session advocates for biologically grounded and cognitively respectful training practices. Instead of adding more tools, more slides, or faster-paced delivery, we will look at how thoughtful pacing, embodied learning (including the role of handwriting), and brain-informed task design can significantly improve retention and transfer to the workplace.
Participants will leave with practical, research-informed strategies tailored to adult, professional learners - strategies that strengthen memory traces and enhance long-term impact in corporate and B2B environments.
