This practical book shares lessons learned and how to apply them for any business. A key insight to apply in the learning world is to think of our departments as a media company. We’re competing for attention and need to meet people where they are and, critically, answer the questions they actually have, not just tell them what we want them to know.

I wasn’t objectively aware of the transition from fluid intelligence to crystallized intelligence and how that impacts one’s career. Are our talent development programs and succession plans leveraging or even preparing employees for this transition? Do we only value fluid intelligence in our companies, or are we creating opportunities during the crystallized intelligence phase? When we look at employee benefits, are we offering options to help people in this transition?

This book has transformed the way I interact with stakeholders and clients. It has helped me standardize my process so that I can find support when I need to bring in help and to be more creative because I was less worried about my process and more about the content. I also love that it is told through a story, and whenever I discuss the book with others who have read it, we talk about the characters by name and about how invested we were in the outcome of the story. It gave me such a lesson in the power of storytelling in learning.
