Thinking out loud about learning and change

Nancy writes about why people get stuck between knowing and doing, what actually changes behavior, and what that means for the organizations trying to build something lasting.

Posts are practical and grounded in learning science, written for nonprofit leaders, trainers, and the people who support them. Published once a month or so.

Information isn’t action. Engagement is a design problem. Learning lives in community.
