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 organizations 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 behavioral depth of your tools into easy-to-understand yet equally effective solutions, helping organizations adapt more effective behaviors 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 behavioral 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 organizational 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 behavioral adaptability
