The Learning Sciences tell us that engagement leads to learning. When we DO something, we understand and we remember.

Lightbulb Learning does exactly this. It is hands-on, interactive and deeply engaging. It shows rather than tells. It asks you to participate, and the returns are high.

Whether in a five-minute exercise, an hour-long webinar, a day-long Board meeting or a three-day conference, Lightbulb Learning engages participants so they come away with something new. Something powerful. Something that opens their minds to a new way of thinking.

The goal is to create Lightbulb Moments, the ones that make us say “ah ha!” or “I get it!” Want an example of a Lightbulb Moment? Scroll down and take a Quick Quiz!

Strategy

Strategy

Interactivity is critical to strategy development. We don’t just conduct interviews and then tell you what your strategy “should be.” We create an experience for your key stakeholders that reveals the best plan to achieve your goals. The process is engaging, inclusive and . . . it’s actually fun! You will come away with a clear and inspiring strategy that your whole Team can get behind!

Consulting

Consulting

Do you have a problem you need to solve? A goal you need to define? Or do you know where you want to go but need help setting the direction to get you there? We can help.

Convenings

Convenings

Why are you gathering people together? To share? To learn? To take collective action? We start with your goal. Then we design (or co-design) interactive experiences that transform, connect and create the conditions for maximum impact. Our meetings, conferences and events are one-of-a-kind –  each agenda, session, activity, game or simulation engages your team and delivers value. Oh, and it’s fun,

Facilitation

Facilitation

We can help guide your next meeting, conference, convening or event with expert facilitation, moderation or content framing. We can be behind the scenes, supporting your agenda, or front-of-room, inspiring your audience to join you in your mission.

Training

Training

What do you need your team to understand? We can co-design high-impact professional development, onboarding or team-building experiences that your colleagues will learn from and actually remember. Together we can embed the evaluation to show you that folks are “getting it.”

DEI

DEI

Do you want to build a more inclusive workplace where employees have a greater sense of belonging? How can you increase the diversity of your workforce and promote equitable opportunities in your organization? We can help you evaluate your current DEIB practices, policies and programs, and then co-create customized strategies and action plans to support an inclusive culture and leadership.

What if we engaged people in our content and SHOWED them what we wanted them to understand. Or engaged them in activities that helped them DISCOVER for themselves why something is important.

Here are some great examples out there of Lightbulb Learning:

Let’s Create Your Lightbulb Moment!

Our Approach

We create experiences that are uniquely yours. You choose how involved in the design process you’d like to be. Here’s what our typical process looks like:

First, we learn about your goals. What does success look like?

A decision?
A mission?
A strategy?
An action plan?

Once we understand your parameters, we develop a custom experience to be fit-for-purpose. Whether it’s a short exercise, a full agenda or a tool or game for ongoing use, we build what you need.
