Webinar: Learning’s Hot Topics with Stella Collins

In this second episode of the Candid Conversations series, where I have fascinating conversations with thought leaders, I was delighted to be joined by Stella Collins of Stellar Labs and share thoughts on some of the hot topics in learning.

Stella is an acknowledged expert on the practical application of science-based learning to business performance solutions and is the author of Kogan Page’s sell-out book, “Neuroscience for Learning and Development.” She regularly consults, designs, and delivers face-to-face, virtual, and digital training herself, so she knows the principles work in the real world and deliver a genuine return on investment.

The conversation revolved around:

Self-directed learning: Can it really take place in today’s complex and busy organisation?
Knowledge workers: Is knowledge sufficient enough to perform one’s job?
Practise vs. transfer: Is there really a difference between the two, and why is it so confusing?
