Me at the Learning Elite gala for the spring Chief Learning Officer symposium. This was my spare dress. You should have seen the one that wouldn’t act right! Not to mention I forgot all my jewelry at home. I had to wear the same earrings for four straight days. Quel…

Here I am yesterday, last day of the spring Chief Learning Officer Symposium. I’m moderating a panel titled “Hits and Misses: Ten Years of Learning and Technology.” Very lively discussion.

When I first heard that football prospect Michael Sam came out as gay before the NFL draft, I thought, well, that was dumb. You’re jeopardizing your future for what? To share something essentially private with a bunch of people who didn’t ask for the information. Of course, that was just…
