Marcia Conner’s Summary

I work at the intersection of social media and learning to increase organizational IQ. A former Fortune 500 learning VP and author of Creating a Learning Culture, I am managing director of Ageless Learner and write the Fast Company column "Learn At All Levels." I have a gift for assessing what people can do today and preparing them to do more tomorrow.

As an adviser to corporations, I leverage my experience operating high-speed learning and leadership development organizations to consult with employers just starting up and multinationals ready to enter the fast lane. Using social media and nimble enterprise tools, I establish an organization-wide education engine to spur personal and professional growth..

As a keynote speaker, I talk with groups throughout the United States and across the globe on turning social media and learning into competitive advantage, catalyzing the new open and digital learning style, overcoming organizational learning disabilities and aligning education with dynamic business goals.

As a thought-leader, my columns reach millions of readers in print and online. In addition to Creating a Learning Culture: Strategy, Technology and Practice (Cambridge University Press, 2004), I wrote Learn More Now: 10 Simple Steps to Learning Better, Smarter, and Faster (John Wiley & Sons, 2004) and have written for many other publications including Leading Organizational Learning (Leader to Leader, 2004) and the forward to Engaging Learning: Designing E-Learning Simulation Games by Clarke Quinn (Pfeiffer, 2005).

I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with my husband and son. Learn more at www.marciaconner.com
