Leading Learning
The Community for Learning Leaders
For our fourth and final Emphatically Recommended Reading™, we turn to leadership—an area of primary importance to the Leading Learning Symposium—and John Kotter’s classic Leading Change. The book was originally published in 1996, but what Kotter offers remains relevant. He remarks early on in Leading Change: The change problem inside organizations would become less worrisome …
For our third Emphatically Recommended Reading™, we wanted to pick something that reflects the marketing focus of the symposium. But this was a challenging task. There has been so much insightful, useful thinking about marketing over the past few decades that narrowing down to a single resource seems impossible. Should we pick something by Seth Godin, …
As discussed in an earlier post, we are providing a short list of Emphatically Recommended Readings™ that we hope all Leading Learning Symposium participants will read in advance of attending the event. The idea behind these readings is to establish common points of reference and baseline knowledge that will help enhance the symposium experience for …
With this post, we offer a brief video to introduce the first of our Emphatically Recommended Readings™ – which is …. … drum roll (scroll down) … Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning We think Make It Stick is one of the best books available for summing up the most important research on how we …
One of the perennial challenges of any learning event or ongoing learning community is that the people who participate vary widely in their levels of prior knowledge about whatever topics the experience proposes to address.

We continually talk about reach, revenue, and impact at Tagoras and Leading Learning because the balance among these elements is the key to growing a successful learning business (or, for that matter, any business). It’s usually not hard to tell when these elements are out of balance. If reach and revenue are given too much …
In this Stream of Conference™ video, I walk through some basics on how to use Feedly, one of the tools on Jane Hart’s annual list of Top 100 (now 300!) Tools for Learning. (Jane’s post about trends the tools suggest is also featured as our most recent – and final – Emphatically Recommended Reading™ for the …
Our fourth (and final pre-symposium) Emphatically Recommended Reading™ ties to technology thread of the symposium. As with the other Emphatically Recommended Readings, it was challenging to make a pick, knowing there are lots of great options, but we have settled on one for the last recommendation we’ll share before the symposium–and you’ll be glad to …
We had the opportunity to speak at the Virginia Society of Association Executive‘s (VSAE) Annual Meeting this week, and as always, got some great questions and had some really useful discussions. One of the questions raised was a essentially a variation on the perennial “If we build it, will they come?” Our view is that …
In this brief video, Jeff talks with Seth Kahan – best-selling author, innovation expert, and member of the faculty for the Leading Learning Symposium – about how and why the market for lifelong learning has changed and what organizations need to be doing to ensure they thrive in the new learning landscape. While we have “borrowed” it as part …
We’ve been very deliberate about designing the Leading Learning Symposium, taking into account what we know now about how humans learn best. In this fourth episode of the Stream of Conference™ video series, Celisa delves into the whys of the symposium schedule (which you can access at https://www.leadinglearning.com/schedule).
