Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
– John Dewey

[See below for information about my new webinar series.]

Teaching provides an environment that constantly motivates me to learn. Every day—and I mean EVERY day—I learn something new.  Whether I have picked up a new book, a more effective strategy, or a better way to connect with the people in my world, I go to bed a different (and hopefully, a better) person.  That is powerful!

John Dewey reminded us that “education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”  How very true.

What do you do to for your lifelong learning?  From whom do you draw new insights?  Do you continually question your assumptions about politics, career, community, and world events?

I have the good fortune and great opportunity to work with people all around this great nation of ours. From small workshops, to large keynotes, to multi-day training programs, I get to share ideas about academic, career, and life success strategies.

I am pleased to announce that I am taking this to a new level. On July 10 of this year, I will begin hosting my own monthly series of webinars.  I have (and still do) present webinars for other organizations. This will be, however, my first step into organizing, hosting, and delivering the webinars on my own. I could not be more excited. If even in a small way, this virtual platform will allow me to have an impact on a larger audience’s lifelong learning journey.

Except for a few final details, the first of the webinars is set.  Here is the information. I will post updates on my website (www.stevepiscitelli.com) and my social medial sites.  Mark your calendar now…and pass along the information.  I look forward to working with you.
