Started<\/h1>\n<p>The idea of Learn[ed]Leadership came to me on a cold winter&#8217;s day back in 2012, while visiting blustery Minnesota over Christmas break.<\/p>\n<p>As a budding school administrator, the idea was if somehow I could meet important leaders in international education, then when it came time to look for a job I&#8217;d have all these great connections.<\/p>\n<p>With this selfish idea in mind I started <a title=\"The Leadership Project\" href=\"http:\/\/www.learnedleadership.org\/home\/the-leadership-project\/\">The Leadership Project<\/a>&#8211;a series of interviews of international school leaders.\u00a0 OK, the truth is out, but I should say that the initial motivation to connect with other leaders simply for employment gain quickly slipped away by the 3rd or 4th interview and was replaced by an addiction to learning from such smart and talented people.\u00a0 Since then Learn[ed]Leadership has become home to my rambling and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Flash forward to today, inspired by my original intentions (well almost original) to learn from others, Learn[ed]Leadership has been redeveloped to connect learners from around the world and provide a place for great ideas, articles, videos, and most importantly your blogs to be shared with a greater audience.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll still write here too, but more importantly Learn[ed]Leadership is a place for your ideas to take off.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .et_pb_text -->\r\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .et_pb_column --><div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_newsletter clearfix
