RLI Announces Steve Von Hoene as its Newest Distinguished Thought Leader

Rapid Learning Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Von Hoene, Founder and Principal of Journey Learning L.L.C., as its newest Distinguished Thought Leader.

Von Hoene, who has over 20 years of sales and training experience, will be facilitating RLI’s new Blended Learning Program. The program combines RLI online products such as the company’s Quick Take Rapid Learning Modules and its print materials with innovative live sessions conducted by Von Hoene.

“Many of our clients are comfortable with the self-directed nature of our online talent development tools,” said Glenn Eckard, RLI Chief Operating officer. “But others want to combine our tools with instructor-led-training in a blended learning solution. Nobody knows live training like Steve. He’s a dynamite sales professional and an amazing communicator. We couldn’t be more delighted to have him aboard.”

“It’s really a great program for the client,” says Von Hoene. “In the Blended Learning sessions RLI’s Quick Takes are the starting point from which we build experiential learning exercises and facilitate interactive discussions. This reinforces their learning and drives their behavior – which helps achieve the result we all want – training that sticks. I’m very excited to be working with a young company that I consider to be among the very best in our industry.”

RLI’s Distinguished Thought Leadership faculty brings together world-class experts in the fields of sales, leadership, human resources, compliance, education and safety. RLI exclusively chooses leaders who have achieved extraordinary acclaim from peers for innovative thinking in their given disciplines and whose exceptionally pragmatic ideas are easily understood and adopted by workplace practitioners.


Rapid Learning Institute (RLI) provides online training and talent development tools for businesses, government agencies, nonprofits and educational institutions in the areas of sales, human resources, management, leadership and safety. RLI’s approach is founded on the idea that talent development can only be effective if managers make it a priority and follow up to ensure that learning sticks. The company’s signature five to 10 minute modules, called Quick Takes, help managers build their core competency as talent developers by giving them the tools they need to replicate in others the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors that drive performance.

Based in Greater Philadelphia, RLI is an operating division of Business 21 Publishing, LLC
