This morning I sat down to go through my bookmarked tweets so that I could catch up with my reading and spent all of my time on the one tweet which was this one by @GiuliaForsythe… Got my reading list sorted for this weekend. The #LearningOrganization a Literature Review https://t.co/Db9nojNkqB #activatemylearning – currently now […]
Changing My Modus Operandi
This year I’ve changed my modus operandi. It seemed to have just happened of its own accord but I think my deep dive into classics and fiction reading, warm long summer days and my bullshit detector going on overdrive have something to do with it. Since starting the new year, I’ve decided to do things […]
Frank Lloyd Wright and Envy
Yesterday I was watching a Snap story from one of the people I follow on Snapchat and he was in Arizona at Taliesin West, the site of America’s most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright had his home and which is now a school of architecture. I’ve always been fascinated with architecture and at one stage […]
Microsoft Service Adoption Course on EdX
This month I started another MOOC on EdX designed by Microsoft’s Principal PM Manager Karuana Gatimu and Content Developer Brandon Neeb called Microsoft Service Adoption Course. The course was published this year and had been shared across social media through many Microsoft consultants who are responsible for programs that involve the adoption of collaborative systems. […]
Show Me the Light
Have you noticed that many people don’t blog anymore? When social media came along, killed off long-form writing and scattered the masses across the platforms, all of a sudden, my blog became a ghost town. It didn’t help that the spam bots worked overtime which meant that I had to constantly moderate, check and block […]
What’s My Scene?
Forgive me father, it’s been a while since my last blog post. I have a confession to make. I have not been feeling my best of late. In fact, I’ve been feeling like shite ever since coming back from holidays. It’s been difficult to switch my mind back into a productive mode and continue doing […]
A New Way to Use Social Media Video as a Coaching Tool
Many of you know how much I love Snapchat as I have written much about it on this blog. Out of all the social networks I have used, it’s the one that has provided me with most personal development (storytelling, video creation and public speaking), as well as connected me to a global audience of […]
When You Realise You Are Wrong – A Twitter Thread
In the last couple of days, I created a twitter thread about a coffee catchup I had and how I was dreading going because mistakenly, I thought this person had a personal issue with my line of work. Here’s how it went. Today was interesting. Breakthrough. I listened while she talked about herself & her own […]
What’s In Store for You in 2019?
Part of me was looking forward to writing my first post for 2019 but another part of me was dreading it. Over the last couple of weeks having some time off doing nothing much except for reading, napping and enjoying time with family, I had set aside some ideas for blog posts mentally. At the […]
When Your 22 Year Old Self Comes Back to You
Back in 1991, as a 22-year-old, I left home for the first time in my life and found myself in the Navy going through JOCT (I think it stood for Junior Officer (Common??) Training – basically, it was hell. It was something like this…. and… I prepped on all the war movies and psyched myself […]
