I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Leonard at the Chief Learning Officer Symposium in the spring of 2018 where he was a keynote speaker. He’s funny, interesting and a great story teller. His podcast challenges my thinking. I appreciate how thoroughly prepared he is with every episode. It’s apparent he reads each guest’s book and has very thoughtful questions based on what he learned and what he learns during the conversation.
