Pre-Conference Workshop – Leaders as Learning Architects: Rethinking How We Teach, Measure, and Coach (Presented by direct2you)
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Topaz
Most leaders believe they’re teaching effectively because they explain things clearly. But explanation isn’t learning. In this interactive session, Lindsey Halson and Kathryn Murrow reveal how Bojangles transformed leadership development by embedding pedagogy, metacognition, and measurable practice into every layer of training.

Participants will explore how people actually learn, how leaders can coach through questioning rather than telling, and how to measure training impact—using observable behaviors, frequency of performance, and scenario-based demonstration. Through hands-on activities, attendees will experience the difference between assumption and evidence, leaving with practical tools to improve conversations, build stronger teams, and infuse this culture of leadership through education at all levels of their organization.
