"Learning something new is the ultimate magic experience. How learning becomes knowledge, both personal and organizational has been studied, dissected and debated for many years. Madelyn Blair has crafted a book that unlocks the magic for individuals and organizations wishing to increase their ability to find knowledge in the sea of information we are bombarded with daily.
Madelyn is first and foremost a master story crafter. Her unique ability to move through the English language with selective precision allows her to explain learning with the clarity one only finds on a spring day after an early morning rain storm. By illustrating her thoughts with rich personal anecdotes and stories, she creates a template for learning that any organization or individual can rapidly apply to their own environment with maximum impact.
This book is truly a must read for 'Seekers of new knowledge' and those wishing to keep their knowledge fresh and relevant."
