Wired to Grow Connect and Resist with Britt Andreatta, PhD

The neuroscience of learning is always a hot topic. But in this episode we're going to cover more than just learning. The COVID19 pandemic has created challenges few could imagine. 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.

We are lucky to have Britt Andreatta as our guest to help us make sense of what is happening within each of us, and collectively within our organizations. We'll discuss incorporating brain science into the pivots that are occurring in learning design/ delivery due to workplace changes in the era of COVID19.

Dr. Britt Andreatta is an internationally-recognized thought leader who creates brain science-based solutions for today's challenges. As CEO of 7th Mind, Inc., Britt Andreatta draws on her unique background in leadership, neuroscience, psychology, and learning to unlock the best in people and organizations.

Performance-based Instructional Analysis with Guy Wallace

Guy Wallace is our guest this week. He's an experienced L&D professional sharing his successful process in "Conducting performance-based Instructional Analysis". His latest book presents a "how to" approach to his ISD efforts using methods first learned in 1979 and has been using in consulting gigs since 1982. His approach is "framed" as: MCD - Modular Curriculum Development/Acquisition. He uses it for detailed project planning - and mostly "fixed-fee" pricing. It was first published in the late 1980s in his firm's quarterly newsletter.

We're really excited to have him sharing his knowledge and framework with the IDIODC community.
