Brain in Business


Are you keen to implement brain friendly learning methods in your work,
and are wondering where to start?

Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase brain friendly learning,
and are curious to know what it’s all about?

Or maybe you’re not too familiar with that phrase,
but you are interested in learning which is enjoyable,
and saves time and money?

Welcome

We’re Stella Collins and Ann Grindrod, and we’ve been working together for the last 7 years, to help thousands of people use their brains in the way they were meant to be used, enabling our learners to learn more easily, and get more immediate results.

But before we go any further …

We want you to reflect upon how you’ve learned in the past, and how you’ve acquired the skills you have today.

So firstly consider when you learned best in your life, when you were able to absorb information effectively, then go and apply it. Perhaps you have developed a new skill, been coached through something complex, effortlessly passed an exam?

Reflecting on the environment you were in, what enabled you to learn so successfully?

And secondly, consider how you’ve acquired the coaching, communication, facilitation, presenting, or training, skills you have today.

Given the brain is the major part of the body we use when taking in information and learning, how much were you taught about the brain, and how it is the starting point in ensuring that all learning can be as effortless, memorable, and joyful, as the experience you remembered above?

So as most communication, learning, and development, does not start with the brain, we’ve decided to put that right with our very first ebook -

From this ‘charming little book’ (Peter Honey) you will learn:

  • How to make reading a multisensory experience!
  • How to use the brain in the way it’s supposed to work.
  • What constitutes the medley of theories and methods which underpin brain friendly learning to us.
  • One simple model you can apply to every learning situation, to get consistent results.
  • Some facts about the brain we’ve found to be valuable, or just plain interesting.
  • Fifteen examples of what brain friendly learning is not, if used in isolation.
  • Four important parts of the brain to be aware of in designing information and learning.
  • How to stimulate these parts of the brain through what you design and deliver.
  • To regularly review learning as a vital step in developing lifelong learning skills.

We only wish someone had written this ebook before we started our brain friendly journey – then we would have known where to start!

What do others think about this ebook?

Six diverse people previewed Learning – Begin with the Brain in Mind, and here’s what they think:

“This little ebook is a delight. Your brain loves to learn; it is never happier than when it is busy processing information and making meaningful connections. But, sadly, too often we make it difficult for our brains to function as well as they might. This charming (utterly brain friendly) little book comes to your brain's rescue! Show it to your brain and promise to do what it says. Your brain will thank you by happily learning much more than ever before!”
Peter Honey, co-creator of Honey and Mumford The Learning Styles Questionnaire, internationally-renowned speaker, consultant, and author of over 20 books.

“An accessible introduction to brain friendly learning enabling the reader to get to grips with the brain friendly learning concept and application. By 'beginning with the brain in mind', readers raise their self awareness and their awareness of other people. This results in an improved learning environment, self management skills and increased overall effectiveness in presenting. A great reference tool for pre-presentation preparation.”
Maureen Bowes, facilitator in Applied EI and author of Me + You = .

“This is a superb little book - which walks its talk. The perfect introduction to brain friendly learning for anyone who wants more confidence that their courses will really produce results. And a useful refresher for devotees of brain friendly learning. Indeed, it may be a first: a genuinely hands-on ebook. It explodes the hype surrounding brain-friendly learning and gives you practical ideas you can apply instantly. And yes - dammit - it makes you think.”
Russell-Oliver Brooklands, designer of the internal communication model and author of Communication Goldmine.

“This ebook provides practical steps to brain friendly learning in a brain friendly way. Having experienced these methods and how to apply them myself, I am excited by the idea of bringing emotions and whole brain thinking to technical training and seeing the results.”
Ann Howlett-Foster, Principal Specialist, Health & Safety.

“This ebook has been a useful reminder in my left-brained world that whole-brain thinking can be applied in a range of business applications; not just learning, but also project management, presentations, team meetings, 1-2-1 mentoring and influencing, etc. Whilst encouraging me to think outside my own box, you also provided ideas I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. You may be unique in combining learning theory and good fun in one small book; I look forward to being inspired by the series.”
Dave Court, Senior IT Project Manager.

“Stella and Ann have provided a clear and concise summary of brain friendly learning incorporating material from a wide variety of sources and from their own extensive experience. By including exercises along the way they are modelling the concepts being explained and supporting the learning of the e-book. I particularly like the ‘What brain friendly learning is not’ section which covers some of the fallacies frequently encountered – playing music, adding some icebreakers and utilising games is not brain friendly learning – it can be good or bad training depending on a number of factors, which they go on to cover. They make some excellent points based on the experience of using the techniques, not on the experience of reading someone else’s books!”
Steve Berry, speaker, international MBA lecturer and author of Strategies of the Serengeti.
