Learners like avatars with the same gender and ethnicity, but they also like those who give feedback the way they want: comparing against others or comparing against their own past scores.

In August 2011, I wrapped up my last project at Cisco and formed my LLC. As of this month, it’s been 10 years since I left my last full-time job and started my own business. Prior to this, the longest I ever held a job was about 3 years. However, even after 10 years of consulting, it still feels like the right fit.
