We're excited to release our latest research brief, which is part of the Next Level Lab's ongoing project on Experiences of Awe and Meaning at Work. In this report, we share findings from our recent study investigating the nature and impact of awe experiences in the context of the workforce development sector, and offer concrete, actionable steps for cultivating a culture of awe in the workplace. This brief was written by Megan Powell Cuzzolino and Jules Becerra. Valuable input was provided by NLL researchers Tina Grotzer, Tessa Forshaw, Jeff Bachman, and Max Ramseyer, as well as our Accenture colleagues Maggie Lorenz, Christine Nanan, and Matthew LoPolito. https://lnkd.in/ecAGg-gM

NLL Project Director Megan Powell Cuzzolino recently spoke with the MAGICademy podcast about her research on the emotion of awe and its connection to workplace learning, engagement, and motivation. You can watch or listen to the full episode in the link below!
Welcome to S5E6 of the MAGICademy Podcast! Our guest today is Megan Powell Cuzzolino, who is a prominent educational researcher and a project director at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She studies the role of awe in learning and development, and how emotional experiences can enhance educational outcomes in different fields, but particularly in science education. We had a very interesting conversation about awe as a worker in different fields and how is essential for every type of talent to feel a certain level of awe when serving in a company or organization. ?? Magical Insights: 1?? Awe and Motivation: For scientists, awe is deeply and inextricably linked to learning and discovery. It comes from our interaction with the universe, as we unlock knowledge that was previously unknown. But for entrepreneurs in different fields, it’s linked to impact and wonder, and building an organizational system for the future. 2?? Relation and Differences Between Gratitude and Awe: These concepts are related but tend to be mistaken as the same. When the organization provides the proper conditions for talents to feel good and in a place where they can feel awe, it’s normal to feel gratitude towards it. 3?? Awe in Kids Vs. In Adults: Children are in an ever-present state of awe because everything is new to them. It’s easier to feel awe when you’re amazed by everything that happens near you. For adults, it’s different because we already have life experiences, so awe is more of a comparative/relational thing that we do when we do different or unique things, breaking with our routines. There is a developmental trajectory to awe that needs to be explored more deeply. 4?? How to Build and Boost Awe: Instead of assuming that certain things cause awe in people, organizations need to reinvent the ways they can boost it in the workforce. Tools like prompt emails, where they ask talents how their week was, what things made them feel awe, and giving space for them to identify their own moments of wonder is a great way to break cultural or individual barriers and promote awe without assuming things. 5?? What Happens When We Experience Awe: There are physical and psychological effects that can be seen in a person when they experience awe. But what actually triggers the experience in our bodies is a sense of deep connection to the moment. Feeling this deep, immersive presence is what allows us to be open to feel awe. It’s very related to surprise, but awe tends to linger for a longer period of time.

We love it when our work reaches the other side of the world! NLL Doctoral Researcher Tessa Forshaw recently shared her research on learning transfer in Australia at the Harvard Club of Victoria.
Thanks for having me Harvard Club of Victoria. Loved sharing our insights from the Next Level Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education on learning transfer as a strategy for preparing workers to thrive in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous future of work. Thanks for organizing, Alice Hill, Justin G. Fung and Cameron Tribe (and Christian Gossan for the photo)

Did you know immersive technologies can transform traditional classrooms into engaging learning environments? In our latest MAGICademy Podcast episode, Chris Dede discusses the impact of artificial intelligence?? and immersive technologies on skill development. He shares insights on how these tools can enhance skill development and foster a deeper understanding of complex subjects, paving the way for a new era in immersive learning. Story Takeaways 1?? Intelligence augmentation (IA) enhances human capabilities through collaboration with AI. 2?? Immersive environments provide rich, engaging experiences that traditional classrooms often lack. 3?? Data-driven feedback from virtual interactions allows for personalized learning journeys.

“Awe” and “work” are two words that might not naturally appear in the same sentence – but new research from Next Level Lab researchers Megan Powell Cuzzolino and Jules Becerra suggests that experiencing moments of “everyday awe” in the workplace can combat burnout, increase motivation, and imbue workers with a greater sense of purpose. Read on for more details about the findings and their implications for improving performance in the workplace. https://lnkd.in/eR2YD23w

It's that wonderful time of year when PhD program applications are open! If you're looking to do interdisciplinary research at the intersection of technology, design, and the arts check out College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) at Northeastern University's PHD in Interdisciplinary Design and Media. I'm going to be recruiting a student this cycle who is interested in developing and researching #VR for #Education. I'll be looking for folks who are passionate about leveraging immersive technology to bring experiences into education that otherwise wouldn't be possible and studying their impact on learners. Anyone with a background in XR, learning sciences, or educational technology would make a great fit! Application deadline is December 1. Check out more on the program and find out how to apply here: https://lnkd.in/egrKCpSj Please share with your networks and any prospective students who might be interested!

The digital transition demands a shift in how we approach apprenticeships. They are a pivotal tool in developing talent in our complex and modern world and deserve consideration in their pedagogical approaches. In my latest paper, read how, by integrating digital skills and real-world projects, programs like Accenture's North American Apprenticeship Program are setting new standards for apprenticeship training. Co-authored with me by the amazing Mary Kate Morley Ryan Beca Driscoll and Maggie Lorenz. With support from Robin Boggs Megan Powell Cuzzolino Chris Dede Tina Grotzer and the Next Level Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education. Thank you to Cedefop and the OECD - OCDE for spotlighting this work.
