Panel Discussion ENG113
Beyond Neuro-Hypes. Brain-based Learning Solutions to Drive Performance
Date Thursday, Nov 28 Time – RoomQueen
This interactive panel of specialists in the neuroscience of learning discusses proven practices and resources available to all that will help you move from “ticking the training box” to “engaging learners for action in the flow of work”. Join in and explore how brain-based solutions offer new ways to drive performance, helping organisations succeed and thrive in the face of increasing change. Of course, topics such as motivation, behaviour change, and active engagement are relevant to learners of all ages and from all sectors/backgrounds!
Margie Meacham
Chief Freedom Officer, Learningtogo, USA
Margie teaches people how to design and deliver training that is compelling, memorable and immediately useful by applying the latest discoveries from the converging fields of learning science. The author of “Brain Matters: How to help anyone learn anything using neuroscience” believes that if you understand how the brain works you can become a better teacher, trainer, leader, spouse or parent and have more fun doing it. Margie is the Chief Freedom Officer of Learningtogo and hosts a Top Ten podcast on the science of learning.

Katelijn Nijsmans
The Tipping Point, Belgium
Katelijn Nijsmans fell in love with the brain and its countless possibilities whilst studying neuroscience at the University of Maastricht (NL).
While conducting fMRI research, she was astonished by our malleable brains providing all of us with the opportunity to keep learning, changing and improving. It is not dull solidified gray matter, it is an organism we can shape and develop by intentionally training it.
Today, as managing partner of the training and research company, The Tipping Point and as a higher education lecturer, she attempts on a daily basis to make scientific brain knowledge accessible and relevant for companies and individuals. Hereby she wants to help making certain that this valuable knowledge does not remain confined to the realm of scientific labs and academic journals. Companies, working adults and students alike should be able to know and use the eye opening insights neuroscience offers us and which defines our lives the most.
