Meet Margie Meacham

(The Brain Lady)

Hi! I’m Margie Meacham –
The Brain Lady

While many others are starting to talk about AI in training and education, Margie has been pioneering practical applications, evangelizing best practices, and building award-winning bots for her clients since 2013.

In 2015, Margie Meacham became one of the first instructional design experts to apply neuroscience to instructional design. She built the top-selling virtual certificate program, Brain-Based Learning, for the Association of Talent Development (ATD), and followed that up by serving as the lead Subject Matter Expert for the new Adult Learning Certificate. She also contributed to the latest version of ATD’s Talent Development Body of Knowledge (TDBoK™). 2017, she began designing AI-based platforms for learning, including a fully automated learning coach for the United Nations. Her suite of targeted-use chatbots, BrainyBots™, won the Tech & Learning Excellence award for educational technology in 2021.

Margie’s blog has been recognized by Feedspot as one of the Top blogs on neuroscience and AI. She is recognized as a member of the 100 Most Talented Learning Professionals and won the Brandon Hall Award for custom content.

Brain Matters: How to Help Anyone Learn Anything Using Neuroscience

If you had the chance to be with DaVinci, Galileo, or Curie at their greatest moment of discovery, would you take it?

If you said “yes,” then you’re in luck. The human race is embarking on a great adventure—discovering how the brain works by watching it in the process of cognition. Neuroscientists are starting to unlock the code that makes the brain work, thus enabling them to give educators, teachers, corporate trainers, and mentors new tools to help people learn.

AI in Talent Development

In AI in Talent Development, Margie Meacham describes the benefits, uses, and risks of AI technology and offers practical tools to strengthen and enhance learning and performance programs.

In layman’s terms, Meacham demonstrates how we can free time for ourselves by employing a useful robot “assistant,” create a chatbot for specific tasks (such as a new manager bot, a sales coach bot, or new employee onboarding bot), and build personalized coaching tools from AI-processed big data. She concludes each of the six chapters with helpful tips and includes a resource guide with planning tools, templates, and worksheets.
