Your Guide to Better Learning Design
Dr. Arianna Howard
Learning Experience Designer & Master Trainer
With 20+ years of experience designing and facilitating professional learning, Dr. Howard combines adult learning, psychological safety, neuroscience, and real-world practice to help facilitators create learning experiences people actually want to be part of, and remember long after they leave.
Why Your Current Approach to Professional Development Isn't Working
Here's the truth: most professional development is designed by people who've never studied how adults actually learn. The result? Forgettable workshops, disengaged participants, and zero behavior change. This live event is different. We're pulling back the curtain on brain-based adult learning principles—the science-backed strategies that make learning stick. You'll discover exactly how to design professional development that people remember, apply, and actually value. Whether you're planning your next training program, leading a team workshop, or building a learning culture from scratch, this session gives you the frameworks, tools, and confidence to command any room and create real impact. No fluff. No theory you can't use. Just practical, proven strategies you can implement immediately.

Wow! I cannot say enough about the time spent in Dr. Howard’s course! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I registered, but the class was a game changer! A genuine safe space to understand myself better in relation to how I view (and work with) others. I find myself going back to course notes regularly in my personal and professional life – especially before meetings that I know will be challenging. Every educator should take this course! We could accomplish so much more if we were all using Dr. Howard’s tools.
