Learn how the insights you need, to make smarter decisions, develop more creative solutions, faster improvements, and deeper connections, are hidden in plain sight. The insights we need live in the heads and hearts of people right around you. Yet too often, people don't tell you what you most need to hear.

Jeff Wetzler has been on a quarter-century quest to transform learning opportunities. Blending a unique set of leadership experiences in the fields of business and education, he's pursued this quest as a management consultant to the world's top corporations, as a learning facilitator for leaders around the world, as Chief Learning Officer at Teach For America, and most recently, as co-CEO of Transcend, a nationally recognized innovation organization.

Jeff is the author of the new book "Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs In Leadership and Life."
