“Without work like this – nurturing talent in our field to

not only do their jobs, but actively engage in the wider

profession of leading volunteers – we risk

stagnation and reliance on a few so-called experts to drive

us forward.”Rob Jackson, Rob Jackson Consulting LtdWriter, speaker, trainer on Volunteer Management

“From about 500 years ago, humans began to link up globally through shipping,

through trains, through telegraph, through the

Internet, until now we seem to form a single global brain of

almost seven billion individuals. And that brain is

learning at warp speed...”http://www.ted.com/talks/david_christian_big_history.html
