About the Author

LearningChange exists to help people find greater meaning in their work regardless of whether it occurs in a classroom or corporation. Everything that we do builds on principles that value the individual, respect group dialogue, and maintain that deeper learning and change are possible when we make sense of our individual and shared experiences. Our premise is embedded in our name: Learning cannot occur without change, and change cannot occur without learning. We believe that discovery and invention take wing when intuition, imagination, and inspiration are engaged. To make space for such leaps, we must appreciate the experience of the learner and make activities available that fuel the imagination, heighten intuition, and lift inspiration above taken-for-granted places. Besides the Inspire! Youth Series software, LearningChange conducts face-to-face training and Web-based training to help educators and facilitators learn how best to engage people more fully in the learning enterprise. In addition, LearningChange provides assistance to those wanting to employ new media in highly interactive ways and move a lesson from something linear and discrete toward something creative and alive. Learning does not have to be boring nor change painful. People enjoy the progress of their lives when we respect our experiences, challenge our assumptions, and reinvent, if need be, our claims about how our actions impact our world.
