Welcome to Lectica^®

I believe that, as a species, humans have the capacity to address the highly complex problems we face today, but only if we provide all of our children with the opportunity to develop optimally. —Dr. Theo Dawson

MindLog™ is a celebration of the human mind. On the surface, it's a simple journal-like learning and measurement system, but look under the surface and you will find a fully scalable and integrated approach to supporting the development of hopeful, competent, and caring humans with dynamic, agile, and adaptive minds.

With MindLog!

ViP (VCoL in Practice) is a course for anyone who wants to optimize learning from everyday experience. It equips participants with a set of powerful skills that support optimal learning & development. 

MindLog™—Lectica's reflection and growth tracking system—is now embedded in ViP to support the growth of participants' micro-VCoLing skills and allow the members of ViP cohorts to continue learning together for several months after completing ViP.

FOLA with MindLog!

FOLA is a graduate-level survey course, first delivered in Harvard's “Mind, Brain, and Education” program. It is focused on over 100 years of research and thought in the original positive psychology field—developmental psychology.

MindLog™—Lectica's reflection and growth tracking system—is now embedded in FOLA to (1) support the integration of research and ideas explored in the course, and (2) allow FOLA participants to collaborate with one another more effectively.

Lectical Assessments in Practice

Did you know that eight of the World Economic Forum's top ten leadership skills for 2025 are VUCA skills that are directly targeted by the LDMA (Leadership Decision Making Assessment)? Perhaps even more importantly, "The vast majority of business leaders (94%) now expect employees to pick up new skills on the job.” More than ever, employees need to cultivate skills for learning from everyday experience—skills that are rarely learned in schools.

Join us in LAP-1 and learn how to use Lectical Assessments™ and MindLog™ to help clients build the skills they need most—efficiently and effectively.

Lectica™ First

Mental ability, especially as it applies to role (or curriculum) fit, is the best predictor of role or academic success. This is even more difficult than it sounds, because most assessments of mental ability are actually assessments of content knowledge or the ability to solve irrelevant problems. In contrast, Lectica First metrics focus on relevant real-world skills required by specific roles or curricula. 

This is why Lectica First can be used to screen applicants for the fit between their mental skills and specific role or course requirements.
