Josh Misner started college at Washington State University as a physics major, partly because he thought he wanted to pursue theoretical physics as a career after having worked in research and development for a manufacturing company. His first calculus class cured him of that desire.

After deciding to have a third child, he along with his family moved to the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area, where he transferred to North Idaho College. That was where he fell in love with the academic field of communication.

He then transferred to Gonzaga University, where he fell in love with the Jesuit model of education, and he never left. He earned his BA, MA, and Ph.D. from Gonzaga, all in the field of communication, with a taste of leadership studies thrown in for good measure.

He is currently a learning & development consultant for Visible Wireless.

Ronnie Polaneczky is an award-winning journalist, speaker, and certified positive-psychology practitioner who uses her deep listening and reporting skills to uncover and honor what matters to us the most: Our dreams - for ourselves and for those we love. Our relationships - with others and with our own hearts. Our courage and strength - which is always, always greater than we realize.

In her TEDx talk, “The Power of Deliberate Listening,” Ronnie makes the point that the social engagement of the digital world has actually created conditions for social estrangement, encouraging us to substitute judgment for curiosity and to hold on with a death grip “our right to be right.” What can get lost, she says, is our willingness to be who we really are, “in all of our glorious, messed-up, perfectly imperfect humanity.”
