Design For How People Learn
We've all been there – nodding along in a meeting or training, feeling like we're absorbing everything, only to find a week later that almost nothing stuck. Or perhaps you've tried to explain something simple, only to watch understanding visibly slip away. This isn't a failure of intelligence or attention; it's often a mismatch between how we present information and how the human brain is actually wired to learn. Julie Dirksen’s Design For How People Learn shifts our focus from *what* we teach to *how* the mind truly engages. It reveals why our existing mental models aren't blank slates, how easily we overload working memory, and why passive consumption rarely leads to true mastery. This episode offers a quiet, powerful re-orientation for anyone who needs to convey complex ideas, showing how to design experiences that genuinely resonate and lead to lasting understanding.
