About
Brian Washburn
My mission is to rid the world of boring learning. I have a feeling this mission will keep me busy for a while. I'm a bit of a professional development junkie and I do have a strange addiction to flipcharting and Mr. Sketch Markers. I'm a big fan of sharing good ideas with others... and I love learning new things and ways to go about doing things better from others' experiences. -
