LearnSmartly · Educator Evolution Journey
Know your people before you teach them
Certification for learning and development leaders
A six-session journey for learning and development leaders, coaches and facilitators. You'll grow your own capacity, learn to read how differently people learn, and finish as a LearnSmartly Certified Practitioner.
- 6 live sessions
- 2 hours each
- Online
- R10,500 per person
- Certification and 10 team reports included
Who it's for
Learning and development leaders, HR partners, facilitators, coaches and learning designers, whether you work inside a large organisation or with clients of your own.
You'll get the most from it if you suspect that completion rates and satisfaction scores tell you very little, and you want to see people change after a programme and be able to show it.
Why this, and why now
Most enterprise learning systems were built to deliver content and count who finished. They do that well. What they can't tell you is whether a person was ready to learn when they arrived, or what changed after they left.
This journey gives you a way to see both. You'll work with your own report first, then learn to read a whole group, and finally use it with a real team of your own.
What you'll be able to do
- Read a LearnSmartly report and debrief it with an individual or a group
- Build and facilitate a Group View for a team or client group
- Use readiness and resilience to decide how a programme starts, and who needs support first
- Design sessions that work for the different ways people take things in
- Measure again after 90 days and make the case to the people who hold the budget
The six sessions
What If Your Teaching Purpose Isn't What You Think?
Orientation and Personal Mastery
At work: understand your own readiness to learn, and what it means for how you lead learning.
The Group Is the Teacher
The Group Debrief experience
At work: experience a Group View debrief as a participant, so you can run one with confidence.
Your Presence Either Expands or Contracts Capacity
Emotional Resilience
At work: see how pressure shapes what people can take in, and adjust before it costs you.
What If Assessment Could Accelerate Becoming?
Neuro-Quadrants
At work: use a readiness baseline to decide how a programme starts.
Question Quality Determines Transformation Depth
Enneagram and Inquiry
At work: ask the questions that move a debrief from polite agreement to real insight.
Design Environments Where Change Can Take Hold
Learning design (4MAT) and the business case
At work: design for difference, then measure again at 90 days and show what changed.
Five principles we work by
Space creates transformation.
Change needs room in the diary. A crowded agenda leaves none.
Silence is power.
The pause after a hard question is where people do their thinking. Hold it.
Questions over answers.
People act on what they work out for themselves.
Breakdown precedes breakthrough.
Discomfort in a session is often a sign that something is shifting.
The group is the teacher.
The room usually knows more than the facilitator. Design for that.
