Voices You Should Hear

Post Archive (11-Jun-2008)

There are many voices on the web, most like mine … not very loud or influential. But, there are some voices you should be hearing. Here are my selections for the important voices on the web.

Tom Peters - WOW Bill! You went out on a limb here! Why don’t you pick someone really obscure, like Peter Drucker? Well, you probably know Tom Peter, but are you reading Tom Peters? Not just his books, but his blog? Here are some really important things he has to say.

Will Thalheimer - OK, I know he doesn’t have this designation yet, but I assure you that Will Thalheimer will someday be ranked with the likes of Malcolm Knowles, Robert Gagne, Thiagi, and Donald Kirkpatrick/Jack Phillips (take your measurement pick). He is that good. Seriously! Here are some really important things he has to say.

Garr Reynolds - If you haven’t yet read Garr Reynolds’ book, Presentation Zen. Go immediately to Amazon.com, and order the book now. (Just click this link to make it easy.) He is the master of presentations, and if you read his material you will create better presentations! Here are some really important things he has to say.

All of these people are 5-Socrates teachers. In all honesty, Will and Garr are very close to a 6-Socrates score.

Note: I think Socrates was a tremendous teacher. I don’t agree with a lot of his opinions, but I always learned by reading about him and his methods. So, he is the golden measure by which all teachers should be measured.
