Tobin Conley, chair of the American Society of Association Executive’s Professional Development Section writes that Leading the Learning Revolution:
shows how to provide real learning—and hence real value—to your intended audience. The book not only gives readers a good grounding in the fundamentals, but also practical steps to help build and maintain a solid slate of opportunities for adult learners. It is a thoughtful, well-researched and pragmatic—a must read for those looking to create successful learning programs.
Denise Ryan, President of FireStar Speaking says:
This book gives a fantastic overview of the learning landscape as technology is shaping it. For those of us who are using the “old school” model of traveling to live speaking engagements, this is the perfect tool to help us update and broaden our offerings. Jeff works closely with many associations and has a great understanding of the speaking and training business. His book is a Godsend for those of us running as far as we can and struggling not to fall behind. Thank you Jeff!!
