It's all about the ACTION !
Action Learning is a simple and short description of our problem solving process. Skip Leonard, Master Action Learning Coach, reminds all of us, in particular coaches, of the real value and importance of the "action" part.

In our series "Learning from the Masters", Skip reminds us of the importance of the ac
tions: they are a key part in the unique power that Action Learning delivers.
