they love learning, they seek challenges,
they value effort, and they persist in the
face of obstacles…Some display these
[growth mindset] qualities and others do
not. Why? This is what my work asks.”

“The key to success in any organization is having employees continue to learn and grow, yet too often this is not a priority for leaders…Strangely and sadly, this lack of appreciation and understanding about the importance of adult learning is true even in education. If any setting should evince learning among employees, it is schools,
yet often they don’t.” - Thomas Hoerr

We recommend: Andy Goodman Storytelling i-School
“Stories create the emotional context people need to locate themselves in a larger experience.” -- Scott Bedbury, The Brand New World
“A good storyteller can paint a compelling future that employees find motivating. When this works, you can hear your people saying, ‘How can I help to get us there?’. . . Your mission should feel like a natural extension of who you are.”-- Chip Conley, Joie de Vivre Hotel Group
“Stories are important cognitive events, for they encapsulate, into one compact package, information, knowledge, context, and emotion.”-- Don Norman, Things That Make Us Smart
“Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and myths. Companies will need to understand that their products are less important than their stories.”-- Rolf Jenson, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies
