Most training fails for one simple reason: learners don’t actually know how they learn. Metacognition—our ability to notice, monitor, and adjust our thinking—is the single most powerful (and wildly underused) neuroscience strategy for creating durable learning and real behavior change.
 
In this session, we’ll break down the science and show how to build metacognitive moments into any training program. Participants will learn practical tools to help learners reflect, predict, evaluate, and adjust in ways that dramatically increase retention, confidence, and transfer. If you want learners who actually think about their thinking—and therefore learn faster, remember more, and perform better—this session will give you the blueprint.
