Tell us about yourself, personall hobbies or interest?

Specializing in creating an environment of passionate desire for continuous learning, I am an educator, trainer, and consummate networker who enjoys provoking thought and encouraging the retention of information. My teaching method – perhaps best described as “edutainment” – uses a variety of media to include social networking websites and other contemporary communications formats.

What are your education goals?

My goal is to meet, get to know, and strategically network with as many thought leaders as possible in order to provide an unbeatable learning and collaboration environment for those seeking to improve their world. With the current focus on personal and business development training, it is clear that many individuals and organizations recognize the need to improve the way the engage the social media space, including social networking sites.

What are your favorite things to learn about?

I believe teaching is the responsibility of those who have the passion, desire, and gifts that allow it. I believe that learning can be accomplished even without a great teacher, but the combination of a great teacher and a hungry learner synergize the process significantly. I continuously share my passion for learning by encouraging people in and out of their comfort zones. This serves to expand their horizons, flex their learning muscles, and break down barriers to learning. I believe that the online classroom strongly supports a positive learning environment. In most of the courses I teach and have taught, sharing my philosophy in the beginning has served to “raise the bar” among those who were (only) “decent students” when they arrived.
