INTRODUCTION –

As a frequent speaker at events like our dearly beloved CFESA conferences, I have seen both the amazing and the less-than-amazing results that come from conferences.  Businesses invest time and money into sending their teams to conferences such as ours, with the intent of their teams coming back more connected and better educated about industry trends to make the business thrive.  Unfortunately, some attendees do not take full advantage of the educational opportunities.  In the same sense, often presenters are not there to ensure their audience comes away with actionable content to make the investment successful. Both are critical to the successful investment. This month, Missy Emler, founder of Modern Learners, LLC. Shares the importance of a path to impact. As an industry expert in learning for several decades, Missy’s article opens our eyes to what the fore core human agencies are and how they create the path to impact. With this knowledge, we are better able to learn. Missy is well-known in education circles for her quote, “I’m not asking you to change. I am asking you to learn.”  Within these words, we can see how the power of that perspective can apply to our industry as we evolve for the next generation and beyond. In preparation for our upcoming conference, the CFESA Education Committee found value in sharing her previously published article on this topic so that we can all be better prepared to gain as much as is possible at this event. If you haven’t registered, please do so and if you are already registered, we are looking forward to seeing you there.
