“People learn from one another, sometimes without even realizing that they are doing so. With the increasing shift from face-to-face meetings and events to virtual and digital formats, careful thought must be given to how we build human interaction into learning solutions.”

The Maritz Institute

Emotions

“There can be no knowledge without emotion….To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.”
