THE AUTHOR

THE AUTHOR

Olimpia Mesa is a leading expert and consultant on brain-based learning design, and she is also a mom.

She is the president of Instructional Design Ltd., a company behind hundreds of successful corporate and educational programs both online and in-person, delivered in a variety of different languages. In addition to consulting with Fortune 500 organisations on learning projects, Olimpia is the founder of Book to CoursesTM Online School, the main goal of which is to teach authors how to transform a nonfiction book into online academies, live courses or apps.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, therapist or other significant caregiver, I’ve written this book for you and the children you care for.

My goal is to help children understand how people learn, enabling you all to view learning and studying in a whole new way. Many of the concerns related to a child’s academic results, cognitive skills and wellbeing in school will fade away once complex brain processes are better understood and managed. After reading this book together, both children and adults will have the confidence and information required to discuss topics like What happens when you learn?, Why does your brain ignore boring things?, How can we organise learning for better thinking?, and How can we stop the process of forgetting? I hope you enjoy the book!
