A home run.(Mailbox)(Letter to the Editor)
I read Kevin Oakes's February column, "A Seat at the Table" (E-Learning), and loved it. As far as I'm concerned, he hits a home run with his comments. I laughed at the story of the woman who said she "didn't go into the training field to worry about the bottom line"--just like the person in the field who told me she'd rather have root canal than discuss business needs with a manager. Ugh!
I also loved how Oakes indicates that someone in our field earns the right to be at the table; it's not an entitlement. His article reinforces so much that we also believe.

I wanted to take a moment to [say] Kevin Oakes's "A Seat at the Table" is outstanding. I couldn't stop shaking my head about the woman who said she didn't get into the training and development field to worry about the bottom line. As the owner-manager of a startup that helps businesspeople in the public assembly industry effectively impact business performance, Oakes's article now has a sticky note for my quick reference and reminder.
