THE SCIENCE BEHIND LEARNING

Our role is all about developing PEOPLE - unique, messy, unpredictable, surprising, and imaginative beings with feelings, emotions, preferences and lives outside work. In a world where AI and automation are becoming everyday tools, it’s easy to forget that every human is unique, and a 'one-size-fits-all' tech-driven solution might not actually deliver the most useful learning experience.

In this Lunch n Learn, we will explore how the human-only skills of curiosity, empathy, and creativity remain at the heart of great training design — and how applying our human skills to classic design thinking principles can help to create learning experiences that resonate with our fellow humans.

WHAT’S YOUR LEARNING DESIGN STYLE?

As L&D practitioners, we do it all — from strategy to delivery — but some parts light us up while others drain us.

This session used the GC Index to help you understand how you naturally make an impact in your role. It’s not about skills or personality, but about recognising where your energy lies so you can play to your strengths and manage the rest with confidence.

We explored the five GC Index proclivities, how they show up across the Training Cycle, and practical ways to make your work more effective and enjoyable.

Whether you’re freelance or in-house, you’ll leave with clarity on your working style — and how to use it to create greater success in your L&D work.
