We all recognize that climbing a mountain is always easier when you have the support of others. The team at the Academy for eLearning knows that we didn’t get to where we are in our professional careers alone. We had many “influencers” along the way who provided insight, perspective, and experience. There’s so much value in the wisdom of a “tribe”!
We invite you to join us on this continuing journey of personal and professional growth. Contribute, connect, collaborate and be part of the discussion.
Because together we are truly remarkable!
5 Characteristics of Truly Inspiring Leaders
I think we would all agree that we need more leaders worth following.

Seek First to Understand
Seek to understand, then to be understood. This is Habit 5 of Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and it seems easy enough to do on the surface.

Thoughts About Roles vs. Purpose
We all have roles. We are leaders, employees, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives and the list goes on ad infinium. We perform numerous tasks based on the labels we attach to ourselves.

What is Your Personal “I AM” Statement?
I wanted to share this blog post with you because I believe that knowing who you are and what you are called to do is a critical component of living a more meaningful life…and a strong personal "I Am" statement can help you get there. When I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I was focused on climbing the corporate ladder as fast as possible with little...
An Attitude of Gratitude
With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, we turn our focus to being thankful. This time of year can give us that warm, cozy feeling when we spend time feeling thankful for the things in our lives. The Oxford Dictionary defines the word thankful as “pleased and relieved.” Both of those are great feelings. Everyone wants to feel...
Our Choices Matter
Our entire lives are made up of choices, big and small, that define the shape of our lives, the depth of our spiritual practice, and the expansiveness of our joy. Do all our choices really matter? Well, yes… they absolutely do! We explore this concept in more detail in this month’s blog post from the Academy for eLearning.
“I Didn’t Know I Was Allowed to Dream”
Have you seen the NBC show, “America’s Got Talent?” I’m a fan and watch it regularly. Why?

If you watch the show, you know that...

5 Tips for Recruiting & Hiring Post-COVID
Thirty million— that's roughly how many Americans are currently collecting some form of unemployment benefits, according to the US Department of Labor.
