Praise

Courageous Training shows how to confront reality, call out what’s working and what’s not, partner with senior managers to break out of the usual training rut, and achieve truly amazing results.”—William C. Byham, PhD, Chairman and CEO, Development Dimensions International, Inc.

”The business of training has been redefined by Mooney and Brinkerhoff. With direct, elegant language, simple models, and powerful examples they show the way to evolve learning and illustrate how it works.”
Alejandro Reyes, Director, Global Learning and Development, Dell Inc.

Courageous Training makes sense out of a complex problem—training doesn’t usually work well enough. It explains in elegantly simple terms what’s wrong, what needs to happen, and how to go about changing it.”
—Jim Danko, Dean, Villanova School of Business

“Unlocks the secrets to building a successful learning function. A must read for anyone interested in achieving greater results with their learning investments.”
—Tamar Elkeles, PhD, Vice President, Learning and Development, Qualcomm and coauthor of The Chief Learning Officer
