You Won’t Learn If You Don’t Care

Learning is an emotional process.

It is not just about facts and figures. It’s an emotional journey.

The hippocampus is our center of learning and sits between “threat” and “reward” in the brain’s limbic system.
This position emphasizes just how important emotional involvement is to learning.

Studies show that students won’t be able to learn in an environment that isn’t psychologically safe. The same is true to organizations!

If you want your team to be equipped to succeed, they better not be afraid of repercussions when they fail.
