Speaker: Kate Wood, Noodle

For years there has been a competing tension between the increasing pressure on time and budgets afforded by employers to develop their people and a shortage of capable and confident managers who reflect the diversity of the UK workforce. An immediate intervention is required to help address the UK’s low productivity compared with the rest of Europe and beyond. Added to this pressure, new ways of hybrid and global working make it harder than ever to get people together to understand and apply any developments to their managerial skillsets. And, of course, the pandemic exacerbated all of these problems – with the subsequent ‘great resignation’ further risking hopes of creating and maintaining impactful, effective teams and individuals.

Kate Wood, co-founder of noodle, will share with you in this webinar how a brand-new learning approach using a bite-sized, adult-led format has integrated the psychology of human performance and interactions to share concepts, frameworks, tools and techniques that help with all of these issues. Noodle was a runner up in the ABP awards 2021 category of Excellence in Learning Interventions and Kate will highlight the case study’s flipped classroom tactics and its surprise benefits for neuro-divergent thinkers, plus the emergent evidence for neurological and psychological de-stressers afforded by this approach which speaks to ‘accidental managers’.
