One thing we really need to do as trainers is attempt to keep up with science as it discovers more and more about the operation of the human brain. As trainers we often forget that though we are always attempting to deal with the whole person we are really interacting with that person’s brain. The more we understand about how it works the more intelligently we can structure our training sessions. I attempt to keep up with this by reading the odd blog post and listening to relevant podcasts. A good podcast to put on your list is the All in the Mind podcast from ABC. It isn’t always relevant to training but it is a very informative and interesting. Here is a link to a recent post on how the brain learns. Hope you enjoy it.
