The Mindset of a Creator with Scott Leiper

Creator Scott Leiper (Imaginocity & The Learning Lab) on turning complex ideas into memorable, human-centred learning—creativity, simplicity and experiences that drive real behaviour change.

In this episode, Paul Corke talks with Scott Leiper—Creator at Imaginocity and The Learning Lab—who specialises in making the complex memorable, simple and effective. Scott designs and hosts immersive learning experiences and products, blending creativity with a human-centred approach so ideas stick and performance improves.

We tap into the mindset of a creator: curiosity, experimentation, visual thinking and disciplined iteration. Scott shares how to design learning that people actually use at work—moving beyond “content dumps” to experiences, stories and tools that change what people do tomorrow.

You’ll hear:

• The creator’s mindset: curiosity, constraints, rapid prototyping & iteration

• How to make learning stick: stories, visuals, spacing, retrieval & application

• Turning complexity into clear frameworks your team can remember and use

• Designing human-centred learning: needs, moments, environment & emotion

• Measuring what matters: behaviour change over attendance or “happy sheets”

• How this links to Paul’s Mindset Equation (Aspiration, Belief, Drive/Motivation, EQ, Resilience, Learning Agility)

Try this (60-minute “Make it Stick” sprint):

1. Define the one job your session must do (finish the line: “After this, people will…”).

2. Chunk to three: turn the topic into 3 named pillars (short, memorable labels).

3. Add a story + sketch for each pillar (metaphor or simple diagram).

4. Design a do-it-now task (5–10 minutes) that applies a pillar to a real problem.

5. Plan follow-ups: two spaced nudges (Day 2 and Day 7) with a 60-second retrieval question.

A practical conversation for L&D leaders, facilitators, managers and anyone who wants learning—and change—to actually land.
