On Friday, I shared some insights from Rhea Blanken on the future of learning in associations. Following our conversation, Rhea sent me some additional thoughts via email; she's agreed to let me share them here:

"In the future (and in the now), what is needed, beyond venue, delivery, and tools....
The willingness of people to be more courageous, especially regarding their own development.

"More is being expected of both Right & Left Brainers—do more with less, be more creative and innovative, be faster, be more adapt in solving yesterday's problems today while focusing on the future. The human brain (plus the body) needs to be refreshed, rejuvenated and renewed regularly.

"We need to be more courageous in finding ways to do just that for ourselves, our staffs, our volunteers, and our organizations. As we train, learn, and develop—being courageous and taking that next step to engage in those development opportunities will be critical."
