Quotable
“Reaching out to thought leaders is not a strategy solely for media giants or organizations such as Learning Forward. Any group or individual working to disseminate information or change the status quo — whether in professional development, education in general, or society at large — can employ this means of spreading a message.”
— Hayes Mizell in “Thought leaders: Who they are, why they matter, and how to reach them” on p. 46
