Reducing the Cognitive Cost of Change to Drive Innovation

Change keeps coming fast. Teams, educators, and leaders are being asked to adopt new tools, behaviors, and priorities at a relentless pace. But many change efforts fail to stick. People feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or left behind. Change does not fail because people resist it. It fails because of how we design and deliver it. This session rethinks change through the lens of learning science. Drawing on research around metacognition, motivation, and cognitive load, we'll explore why transformation stalls when people can't see the relevance, can't experiment safely, or simply can't keep up.

The Learning Geeks: How to Think When Machines Think Faster

AI helps us work faster than ever--but are we sacrificing how we develop? In this live podcast, we discuss why metacognition--how we think, feel, and learn--is the human advantage when partnering with AI in our work. We'll unpack how intentional thinking helps people decide when to offload to AI, when to lean in, and how to grow through the process. Expect practical insights, geeky discussions, and evidence-based strategies you can immediately apply to monitor, evaluate, and optimize your learning and working as AI increasingly influences our lives.
