Getting REAL About Lifelong Learning With Nan Gesche

What fun it was to connect with a gradeschool classmate in this episode! Nan Gesche moved away when she was in 6th grade, but we kept up with each others' lives and careers and it was so fun to connect with her on purpose!

Both Nan and I were raised by mothers who were educators, so it's no surprise this conversation had a lot to do with lifelong learning.

Nan is an energetic speaker, educator, and coach who uses experience, insight, and some sturdy research, all sprinkled with a little humor, to get people to see themselves and the world differently.  Her passion is "Helping people play well together!" Nan provides clients a chance to ponder and practice different ways of thinking and acting around change, conflict, decision making, communication, and leadership all in hopes of providing more positive outcomes.

She  received her M.A. in Organizational Communications and a professional certificate in Training & Development from the University of Minnesota (U of M). She received her B.A. in Economics from the University of North Dakota. She currently on faculty in the U of M’s Communication Studies department and the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, St. Thomas’ Center of Excellence, and the Graduate School of Banking in Madison.

During our conversation, we touched on lots of subjects, from DEI to ROE (Rules of Engagement), from the importance of mentors who believe in you to moving information from theory to application.
