ABOUT LEARNERSLIVE

First let me tell you a little about me:
Proud to have served three years in the US Army Security Agency (ASA) after graduating from Seton Hall University in 1962 and then in 1965 started my career in the lighting industry joining Westinghouse Lamp as a salesman in New York City. What’s that song: “if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere”. Well, learning to sell in NYC led to executive positions with Westinghouse, Philips, USI Lighting, and part-owner in Wellmade Products. In 1994, I founded Attardi Marketing, a strategic marketing consulting and training company. EnergyWatch was a widely successful blog series I started, then expanded it to EnergyWatch News in 2000. It has evolved into a comprehensive knowledge, product and news resource for the dynamic electronic lighting industry, joining EdisonReport in 2020. Have an MBA in marketing and continue as an Adjunct Professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey, teaching graduate and under-graduate marketing and management courses since 2000. That’s my passion, teaching……..been doing it all my life.
About LearnersLive.com
Sunset EnergyWatch and launch LearnersLive.com on January 1, 2025. It’s all about the learning process. Learners possess certain attributes that distinguish them from the Learned. They anticipate rather than react to change. Some call that vision. They become essential facilitators of change within their altered environment. They can skillfully communicate the new and technically esoteric with a clarity that leads to understanding and advocacy. Organizations that don’t value learning and the change that springs from learning will struggle to stay relevant in this fast-paced ever-changing marketplace.
Learners are just highly competent individuals that influence change in an organization and, in turn, as leaders, allow others to adapt to that change. As an Educator, my ambition here is to express my view that education, the learning process, is not a one-time event but rather, something you do all the time. My commitment to you: to post something for you to learn, every single day………a continuing learning experience, to learn something you do not know; to confirm what you already know!
