After decades working within organizations pointing out the emperor has no clothes, I realize no one wants an emperor. It's time to focus my skills and experience making large-scale change to catalyze a societal shift. The social revolution isn't only needed in distant lands. It's needed under our feet, wherever we stand. My books and my work with people across the globe focuses on the change in our midst and the chance we have to make a difference.

Called by some a "blank page systems architect," serving as senior counsel to executives, corporations, politicians, governments, non-governmental organizations, and schools, I work with big-vision leaders, impact entrepreneurs, and unreasonable thinkers, ready to use their superpowers for good.

I just published a 2nd edition (fully updated) to The New Social Learning: Connect, Collaborate, Work (ATD, June 2015), authored Learn More Now (John Wiley & Sons, 2004), co-authored Creating a Learning Culture (Cambridge University Press, 2004), contributed to Changing the World of Work: One Human at a Time (Change Agents Worldwide, 2014) and Leading Organizational Learning (Jossey-Bass, 2004). I also wrote the forewards to Opting In by Ed Brill (IBM Press, 2013) and Engaging Learning by Clark N. Quinn (Jossey-Bass, 2005). In addition, I contribute to Fast Company magazine and have appeared on ABC's World News This Morning and the BBC, as well as being quoted in the Wall Street Journal and Fortune magazine.

When I'm not on a plane or facing big challenges on the ground, I reside in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley with my husband, son, mother-in-law, 17 turkeys, 3 red foxes, and dozens of deer.

When we draw back from action, we are often motivated not by humility but by fear of risk. [Palmer Parker]

I enjoyed this book and chuckled as I recognized many of my present and former students's traits in Marcia Connor's descriptions of learning styles. Can't begin to tell you how many times I have told 'Linear Thinkers' that they think 'backwards' from me. Now I know it's true! They do.

Having just re-read "Teach Me, I Dare You" by Judith Allen Brough et al., which did not really offer what I was looking for, I was delighted to read "Learn More Now."

This book, written by an author who was once labeled "learning-disabled," is bright, sensible, and written with a gentle sense of humor. Conner offers many practical suggestions for dealing with disengaged students.

The title is somewhat misleading, encouraging people to think this is a self-help book. Although, it can be used that way, I would recommend this as a useful classroom management tool.

"Learn More Now" is practical, thoughtful, and respectful of the many kinds of learning styles found in any classroom or organized group.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2004

This book is superficial and is more about enumerating countless dimensions vaguely associated with training than learning itself. The author mentions six different dimensions related to learning. Only one of them is meaningful: Learning Style [Visual, Audio, Kinesthetic]. The five others are trivial. However, by throwing so many dimensions at you that are not so relevant, she dilutes her message immensely. These six different dimensions actually result in 432 possible styles of learning. This is just absurd, and renders her whole learning framework unusable. She gets through this maze by only touching the surface of each dimension, and never addressing a specific learning type across more than one dimension at a time. For instance, using her language how would a Goal-oriented, Visual, Global, Space-Oriented, Small Group, Think to Talk learning style person best learn. How would such a specific learner best take notes, prepare for a test, learn a new discipline. You will never know because this is one of the 432 learning types you can come up with. She will just share vague recommendations about how a Visual learner learns, or a Goal-oriented learner learns. So, you get these disconnected and superficial pieces of information. And, it is up to you to connect the dots. Good luck.
The author gets wrong the one single relevant learning dimension she mentions. She subdivides Learning Style along three sensory subgroups, when it should be four. Kinesthetic and Tactile are two different subgroups. Also, the test she gives in the book is way too short, and vague to give an accurate assessment of your own Learning Style.
Occasionally, her writing style is really boring. In one chapter, she emphasizes the learning power of practicing. She then lists about 10 insights on the subject. But, they were all saying exactly the same thing that practice takes time and is important.
Fortunately, there is a much better book on this subject: "How to Learn Anything Quickly" by Ricki Linksman. This book is everything the other book is not. It is relevant, and effective. It tests your learning style along two effective axes: Learning Style (Visual, Audio, Kinesthetic, and Tactile), and Brain Dominance (Left-brain, Right-brain). Thus, the author's framework includes a very manageable eight different specific learning style. The author devotes an entire chapter on each of these styles. By reading the one relevant to you [i.e. Visual Left-Brain], you will learn a lot about how to better absorb information, acquire knowledge and expertise in any field, get ready for a test. The author gets into practical details such as what style of note-taking will work best for you, or what kind of writing or project outline will help you out. In other words, this book really teaches you how to learn; unlike "Learn More Now."
If you want to study this subject further, I recommend all the excellent books by Howard Gardner, and Tony Buzan. Gardner is the developer of the Multiple Intelligence Theory. Buzan is the inventor of the Mind Mapping technique, a really amazing and fun learning tool. Michael Gelb has also written excellent books on this subject, including "How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci."

Excellent Resource

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 7, 2014

I disagree with the few people who did not like this book and commented so negatively on the author and her style. I do not know what you were looking for, but to me, the book is excellent for it's purpose. I teach undergraduate college courses and I work with a diverse population. Some students do not need the information this book contains, but in reality, I think most do need the boost-- especially the chapters on Engaging Your Body and Jumping In.

We have a tutoring department, but most students will not go there. I don't think it is because of time -- I think it is because they feel like people will judge them if they go to some self-help courses. To me, I see them gain self-confidence and realize that there are strategies everyone can use to be able to LEARN more -- some come from high schools where they just memorized or faked it. This book supports the learner in the realization that everyone struggles in some ways in school and there are strategies we can use to enhance our natural gifts.

Also, just because someone has a Ph.D. (and note I do) it doesn't mean you immediately rise to a certain level of "I am better than others" -- I know some Ph.D.'s who think this, but their friends don't! She does not have to write in a certain style or be perfect in what you think she should do. To me, she is writing so that people are not put off with "educationease" -- my students will pick up the book and read it -- yes, read it. You should see the textbooks they are given -- this book helps them figure out and read the many thick, boring textbooks they have to read -- (But don't get me wrong there are wonderful textbooks out there where the authors get it and write it in a style that students want to read, too -- it is just these are far and few in between.)

When my students come to class not motivated to learn -- feeling that if they say something and it is wrong they will be judged, this book pushes them into a place where they are willing to TRY -- as Conner believes, Jump In and Immerse Yourself.
