Todd Lee is an advocate of continuous learning with over 17 years experience providing learning solutions aimed at improving human performance and subscribes to the belief that at the root of any learning success is the ability to know what we don't know (or at least having a willingness to admit that we can't and probably don't know everything) and persevere to overcome the fear of change. Todd was directing the expansion of Chicago-based operations for O/E Learning and has spent the bulk of his professional career as Director, Manager, and Training Consultant for numerous performance improvement programs for multiple global clients ranging from Fortune 500 to small businesses as well as designing, developing and instructing project management, training development, and business process methodologies related to learning initiatives. Additionally, Todd took his passion for home remodeling and founded a Chicago-based home improvement company which offers the unique service of personal coaches for home project training and guidance for DIY-minded homeowners.

Listen to Mike

Mike likes to share about his life, his book and how to tell your own story.
In his 20-plus years with Today, Leonard has created wryly observant video feature stories on the often-overlooked aspects of everyday life. So instead of just judging the Jarlsberg at the cheese competition, Leonard also seized the opportunity to poke fun at the media for shunning a perfectly good event they dismissed as too ordinary to cover.
Leonard’s talent for sniffing out the smaller, more obscure stories is what makes his work so much fun. “I’ll usually tend to do something nobody’s ever done or will do,” he says.
For instance, sitting around his office one day, Leonard commented to a colleague, “Any Joe Blow could do that.” “So I thought, there’s got to be somebody out there named Joe Blow,” he explains. “I did a search and found this man in Texas, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blow and the four Blow boys. I called him up and said, ‘Hey, Mr. Blow, this is Mike Leonard. I’d like to do a story on you.’ And he said ‘Why? I’m just an ordinary guy.’ Well, I know! He’s a Joe Blow!”
Mike will share a Today show story aired during the waning days of August 2006. It’s somewhat similar to a recent post about our wiffle ball stadium with a “goodbye summer/time is speeding by” twist. Isn’t that the motivation for any and all bizarre behavior? Time is speeding by. Our days are numbered.
