About the Author
Megan Cole, PhD, is a research analyst at the Association for Talent Development (ATD). She regularly writes research reports, blogs, and magazine articles, as well as hosting webcasts. She has authored numerous research reports on talent development topics including The Science of Learning: Key Strategies for Designing and Delivering Training, Needs Assessments: Design and Execution for Success, and Change Enablement: Skills for Addressing Change. One of her first projects at ATD was creating research around the ACCEL model―published as ACCEL: The Skills That Make a Winning Manager―that eventually led to the creation of Focus on Them. Megan has since been involved in the development of other ACCEL-related content. Megan has also worked as a market research analyst and an instructor at Arizona State University. She has published articles in several peer-reviewed journals, including Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Journal of Nonverbal Behavior, and most recently Journal of Social Psychology. Her work has been featured in Time, Forbes, Huffington Post, PBS News Hour, and US News & World Report. Megan received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Central Florida. She earned a doctorate in communication from Arizona State University.
Jack Harlow has spent his entire career managing people―writers, that is. As a developmental editor with the Association for Talent Development, Jack works behind the scenes with notable subject matter experts―such as Clark Quinn, Karl M. Kapp, and the Focus on Them contributors―to develop book concepts that resonate with readers. Just like managing direct reports, Jack’s role empowers him to apply ATD’s ACCEL model: He applies a human-centered culture of accountability with authors and other stakeholders. He leverages his experience with language to communicate clearly and build trust. He adopts a collaborative mindset to coach authors through the publication process. He applies the latest findings around workplace apathy to engage authors. And finally, he listens to authors because their stories are the ones worth telling and he wants to see them all shine. Before joining ATD, Jack served as an editor for Communications Development Incorporated, an editorial and design house in Washington, D.C. There he filled a jack-of-all-trades role as proofreader, copy editor, content developer, and project manager on economic and development reports for the World Bank and United Nations organizations. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Jack lives with his wife, Casey, and three pets Obi-Wan, Wookiee, and Barney. He has a masters in publishing from George Washington University’s College of Professional Studies and a bachelors in English language and literature from the University of Maryland.

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
