Ross is a rare breed, being both a leader in the global Learning & Development community through his thinking and sharing but also as an in-company practitioner, which is the only place Learning & Development really happens. Ross is bold, innovative and real. He knows what is required to implement innovative and impactful L&D as well as talk about it. Ross is a shining light in the profession and I get a great deal from his work.
