Give the Gift of Brain Health Every Day of the Year
I just finished another session of my brain-aware instructional design workshop and I came to a big realization. As learning professionals, we all see information on the science of learning almost every day and we're becoming better and better at incorporating this information into our instructional design and training delivery practices. But how about the people we care most about? Are we sharing these discoveries with our friends and family?

Podcast: Marshall Goldsmith - 15 Coaches

Podcast: ATD Houston - The Neuroscience of Infographics

by
Margie Meacham
OK, this might seem a little conceited, but the truth is that I often refer to my own book to remind me about something like "just where is that great article on oxytocin?"

I'm proud to say that it was also a finalist for cover design and content as the Best Indie Book of 2015.
