Synopsis

When times are tight, training is one of the first functions to go. Typically, the authors argue, this happens because learning officers do not communicate as they should with the executives who make the decisions not because the C-level executives think training is irrelevant. This no-nonsense book teaches learning executives how to boost communications skills and ensure that management understands the true importance of training: its strategic value.

Review

I worked with Tony Jeary for years and I am excited about his newest title Presenting Learning because presenting strategically to the president and the board is what I did for years at Wal-Mart as Executive Vice President of People. How one presents makes a huge difference on one's value to an organization and to one's career. -- Cole Peterson, Former Executive Vice President of People, Wal-Mart

It's exciting to see a new book focused on how to prepare for and communicate to top executives concerning the strategic value of learning. Learning and other business professionals will find great value in reading Presenting Learning. -- Charles Dents, PepsiCo Business Solutions Group

Until now, my CLO library was anchored by four books that serve as part of my professional compass. Now, make that five books! In Presenting Learning, Bingham and Jeary complement their diverse backgrounds in a brilliant book for learning and performance leaders as well as business and organizational executives. Presenting Learning is loaded with gems. Applied and memorable topics range from learning and performance in business value chain, to essentials on the state of the profession, to models and tips on high impact ways to present, persuade, and influence the C-suite as a building block for future success. I predict that Presenting Learning will earn its way into your working library as well. -- Edward Betof, VP, Talent Management & Chief Learning Officer, BD
