    Digital learning for behavior change

    Those of who work in learning and development like to think we're in the business of behavior change. But we often don't have an in-depth understanding of what current behaviors are, or how to change them.  In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner is joined by Ross Dickie and Dr Anna Barnett to discuss:  methods understanding behavior;  digital learning methods for changing behavior;  methods for measuring change.  During the discussion, Ross Garner described the Dunning-Kruger effect.  Ross Dickie mentioned libertarian paternalism, very much a friend-of-the-show.  Anna referenced the COM-B model of behavior change.  In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Anna recommended a presentation from the Behavioral Insights Team, and Ross G referenced his video on nudge theory.  Ross Dickie discussed Jevon’s paradox, based on Satya Nadella’s tweet about Chinese AI firm DeepSeek.  And Ross Garner recommended a thread on X, where famous movie scenes are recreated as Lego.  For more from us, visit mindtools.com.

    Developing leaders at the National Trust

    The National Trust is Europe’s largest conservation charity, established 130 years ago to look after the UK’s nature, beauty and history. Its leaders have diverse areas of focus, from protecting woodland to managing properties – and even running a gold mine!  In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Ross D find out just how the Trust develops these leaders, with Development Specialist Carole Thelwall-Jones.  We discuss:  how a leader needs to think ‘to be’ lists, rather than ‘to do’ lists;  how leadership development is structured at the National Trust;  how L&D professionals can help new leaders let go of what helped them succeed in the past.  During the discussion, Carole referenced Leadership: Plain and Simple, by Steve Radcliffe.  Ross G referenced our ‘Building Better Managers’ report.  Carole also discussed the 4D instructional design model, and Roffey Park’s report ‘The Expert as Leader’.   In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Ross D recommended The Racket: On Tour with Tennis’s Golden Generation – and the other 99%, by Conor Niland.  Carole discussed Roko’s basilisk and Stephen Fry’s lecture AI: A means to an end or a means to the end?  Ross G discussed ‘The Illusion of Explanatory Depth’.  For more on the National Trust, visit their website: nationaltrust.org.uk  For more from us, visit mindtools.com.

    Christmas Special: L&D Actually

    Another year, another Christmas Special! We've scraped the barrel of festive ideas and selected Love Actually, the "greatest Christmas movie of all time", as the unfortunate premise of this year's audio horrorshow. In this edition, Ross G will be asking questions that are very loosely based on the Richard Curtis classic, with answers from Ross D, Anna and Owen. Including: In Love Actually, grumpy husband Alan Rickman gets into trouble when he buys a necklace for a woman who isn't his wife. If you were to buy a gold necklace for another profession, other than L&D, what would it be and why? Creepy romantic Andrew Lincoln spends Love Actually pining after Keira Knightley: The wife of his best friend. What aspect of L&D do you secretly love, but know that you can never be involved with? Spurned husband Colin Firth spends Love Actually learning Portuguese to be with the woman he loves. What L&D language do you plan on spending the Christmas season learning? Aging rocker Bill Nighy performs his single 'Christmas Is All Around Me' naked on TV, to celebrate it taking the Christmas Number 1 spot. What's your great ambition for 2025? During the discussion, Ross D referenced our newsletter 'Every learning intervention you design should be award-worthy' Ross G referenced the Mitchell & Webb sketch 'Are we the baddies?' Anna recommended our 'critical thinking' Skill Bite course. The papers Anna discussed were: Carter, J. W., & Youssef-Morgan, C. (2022). Psychological capital development effectiveness of face-to-face, online, and Micro-learning interventions. Education and Information Technologies, 27(5), 6553-6575. Carpenter, S. K., Pan, S. C., & Butler, A. C. (2022). The science of effective learning with spacing and retrieval practice. Nature Reviews Psychology, 1(9), 496-511. In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D revealed a shocking truth about Darlene Love's 'All Alone On Christmas'. Ross G recommended A Christmas Carol, as read by Hugh Grant.

    Why emotions make simulations so powerful

    When your team are faced with a crisis, you want them to be prepared. But how do you build those capabilities when crises are rare, and you hope they never occur? In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Owen explore the use of simulations to build capability. We’re joined by Chris Peschanel, who ran crisis management at Bayer Pharmaceuticals for 12 years, and by Phil Willcox from St8 of Play. We discuss: ·       why simulations are the best approach for developing real-world skills in crisis management ·       the role that emotions play in making these learning experiences memorable ·       what a simulation sounds like in practice and how to create your own. You can find out more about simulations from St8 of Play. In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Owen shared how GiveDirectly increase donations. Ross discussed Trung Phan’s newsletter on Duolingo’s priorities. Phil discussed the paper: Chang, C. C., & Yang, S. T. (2024).

    Embracing change by 'unlearning' (Rebroadcast)

    Hello listeners! No new episode this week, but we wanted to revisit this 2018 classic with Dom Price, from Atlassian. It'll help you think about whether the habits and behaviors that have helped you navigate the world to this point, are still useful today. Regular show notes below. --- In the early stages of our careers we learn how to do our jobs, manage office politics and earn promotion. But those habits and behaviours that initially help us advance can become a burden. We end up in meetings because it used to be important to show face, and not because they're an effective use of our time. In this week's GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen speak to Dom Price, Futurist at software developer Atlassian, about his approach to 'unlearning' habits and behaviours. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find us all on LinkedIn. The Atlassian Team Playbook is available at: https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook For a fun insight into how Atlassian team members speak to one another, see: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/inside-atlassian/teamwork-data-visualization Owen's 'What I Unlearned This Week' covered Johann Hari's Guardian piece on depression. The original article is here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jan/07/is-everything-you-think-you-know-about-depression-wrong-johann-hari-lost-connections  And, for balance, the counter argument is here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2018/jan/08/is-everything-johann-hari-knows-about-depression-wrong-lost-connections   For more from us, including access to our back catalogue of podcasts, visit mindtoolsbusiness.com.
