A brand-new series exclusive for the Global Lumina Learning Practitioner Community
If there’s one lesson from the past year of listening to our Global Practitioner Community and their organisations on what psychometric publishers could do better to support them, it’s providing continuously hands-on, practical guidance on getting the most impact from tools like Lumina Spark in transformational solutions. That’s why, from January 2026, we’re evolving your Global Practitioner Calls into the Global Practitioner Academy.
Whether you’re newly qualified or a seasoned practitioner with years of delivery experience, this monthly series is designed to support you to turn all the rich behavioural depth of your tools into easy-to-understand yet equally effective solutions, helping organisations adapt more effective behaviours in a way that changes business outcomes.
More Confidence. More Clarity. More Practical Skills
The Global Practitioner Academy will run as a series of focused mini sessions once a month throughout the year. Each month, we’ll dive into a specific tool and concept, highlighting tried-and-tested ways to apply your Lumina Learning toolkit effectively. Expect clear guidance from community leaders with ready-to-use techniques you can take straight back into your behavioural development initiatives.
You’ll walk away each month with:
-
A deeper understanding of how to apply core concepts like Embrace the Paradox, Valuing Different Ways of Being and the Three Personas across multiple contexts
-
Confidence adapting tools and frameworks for different organisational needs
-
Guidance on using workshop materials and digital tools, like the cards and Splash app, in combination for greater impact together
-
Practical ways to help participants explore their strengths, overextensions, and behavioural adaptability
What’s coming in 2026: Four mini-series
This year, we're kicking off the Global Practitioner Academy with four practical and highly requested mini-series.
If you missed any of these sessions, you can find all the recordings and relevant resources in the Lumina Learning Global Practitioner Group. Join the group here.

Paradox is at the heart of the Lumina Spark model and one of the key patterns to help people understand the potential to effectively adapt their behaviour.

Part one: Embracing the paradox in leadership
Monday, 9 March, 11:00 & 16:00 UTC

Creating scalable and sustainable behaviour change at every level of an organisation series
Psychometrics alone do not create change. The real impact comes from knowing how to apply behavioural insight in ways that engage people, support meaningful development and strengthen organisational effectiveness over time. This three-part series explores how to unlock greater strategic value from your Lumina toolkit and create learning experiences that lead to wider organisational change.
Part one - Reducing evaluative bias: Increase engagement and openness to change

- Moving from isolated learning experiences into wider organisational impact
- Creating a shared high performing culture where everyone is adapting more effective behaviours
- Supporting continuous development beyond coaching and workshops
Helping organisations perform through change series
Restructures. Acquisitions. AI arriving faster than organisations can adapt. Upskilling and reskilling. Organisations are facing multiple waves of change at once, while asking people to adapt faster than ever before. Many are launching new initiatives in response, but far fewer are seeing anything change. Not because of the strategy, but because they haven’t built the behavioural capability people need to succeed: the ability to adapt different ways of working, leadership that directs and motivates, steadiness under pressure.
That's why in this three-part Global Practitioner Academy series you'll explore how to use your Lumina Learning toolkit to help organisations strengthen the human side of change by developing the behaviours that strategy alone can't deliver.
Part one - Helping people stay effective through changing roles, expectations and uncertainty.
Monday, 14 September, 11:00 & 16:00 UTC+1
In this session, we’ll explore how people can develop the behavioural adaptability to maintain their performance as roles, expectations, and ways of working continue to evolve around them.
- Why even capable people still struggle to adapt, and what might be getting in the way
- How people can recognise the behaviours that help them stay effective while expectations are evolving
- Ready-to-use workshops, worksheets and coaching exercises you can put into practice immediately
Part two - Helping teams adapt faster and work better together through change.
Monday, 12 October, 11:00 & 16:00 UTC+1

- Practical ways to help newly formed teams gain a shared understanding of performance.
- Approaches to help existing teams align and move towards shared goals more quickly.
- Techniques to help teams adapt together while maintaining momentum through change
Part three - Your ready-to-use resources to support organisations through change
Monday, 9 November, 11:00 & 16:00 UTC
In this session, we’ll explore what's already available in your Resource Library to help you respond faster to change and create greater organisational impact without starting from scratch.
- Ideas for combining existing workshops, coaching materials, and digital tools to support different solutions
- Ways to adapt existing programmes to changing organisational needs
- Practical inspiration for using existing resources in different ways.
