More importantly, he challenged everyone in the audience to become an active blogger...not necessarily for the benefit of others, but for their own continual learning and development. I greatly appreciated Tony's presentation and this blog is evidence that I have accepted Tony's challenge. In a way, doctoral programs forces one to continually read and stay on top ...
