2. Picture this:
You’re sitting in a training room listening
to a speaker who seems quite passionate
about his subject. You thought the subject
would interest you, but your brain
just doesn’t seem to be clicking in.
You check your watch –
it’s only been 15 minutes!
YOU WONDER ABOUT DINNER TONIGHT...

3. Should you take the family out,
or have a pizza delivered?

PAY ATTENTION!!

5. It certainly sounded important. Maybe a co-worker is taking notes.
He’s over there... nodding off.
You look forTodd.
PIZZA IT IS.
You check your watch again: 20 minutes.
OR MAYBE TACOS…
You wonder...
What did he just say?

FAMILIAR?

7. As a learning professional, you can’t afford to
waste time – or money – on training programs.
It’s not surprising that brains go
elsewhere in a lecture – brains
just aren’t made to be talked to.
Talking, no matter how animated or
passionate, doesn’t provide enough
stimulation for our brains to work…
and so they don’t.
AND IF OUR BRAINS DON’T WORK,
WE DON’T LEARN – PERIOD!

8. In fact, Dr. Ellen Weber, Ph.D and CEO of MITA
International Brain Center, recently conducted research
around average learning rates.
RESULTS SHOW “PRACTICE BY DOING” RETENTION RATE AT 75%
VERSUS “LECTURES” AT JUST 5% .

9. Today, organizations need educated managers and employees
who can solve problems, work in teams, understand
complex issues, deal with fast-paced change,
and learn new skills quickly and effectively.
So if lectures don’t work,
what does?
