The Science Behind How We Deliver Training
At ManageWell, we don’t just teach leadership, we design learning experiences rooted in proven research. Our delivery method combines spaced learning, deliberate practice, and peer accountability, all backed by the science of how adults actually learn and grow. The result? Training that sticks, skills that transfer, and managers who lead with clarity and confidence.
Spaced Learning
Spaced learning is a research-backed approach that delivers content in shorter bursts over time, rather than in one long session. It’s based on how the brain actually builds and retains knowledge through repetition, reflection, and rest.
- It Defeats the Forgetting Curve
- Builds Encoding Variability
- Reduces Cognitive Fatigue
Deliberate Practice
Deliberate practice is a highly structured, purposeful form of skill-building where learners focus intently on improving specific aspects of performance, with immediate feedback, rather than just repeating tasks mindlessly. It requires maximum effort, reflection, and refinement, all under the guidance of the trainer and support of the learning group.
- Builds Deep, Transferable Skills
- Strengthens Neural Pathways
- Turns Feedback Into Growth
Peer Accountability
Peer accountability involves structured partnerships or small groups where participants hold each other responsible for commitments, behaviors, and progress. In a learning context, peers observe, encourage, and provide honest feedback, ensuring real-world application of leadership skills.
- Increases Ownership and Follow Through
- Enhances Learning Through Feedback
- Builds Supportive Social Norms
“Using science to guide learning doesn’t fight human nature...it works with it. When we align with how the brain learns best, the process becomes easier, more effective, and far more impactful.”
