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.

Show Me the Light

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 […]

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?

Upside down

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 […]

Return to Roots

For a while now, I’ve been contemplating a return to roots. In the last few months from the tail end of annus horribilis that was 2017 to now, a series of events – mainly due to conversations and collaborations with people outside my field of corporate learning and development, has made me reflect on the […]

Update on Third Place

I wanted to share an update on Third Place. I created Third Place in 2013, a social meet-up, social learning and networking group for people who share a love for lifelong and continual learning. During a Twitter chat in 2013, a member of my personal learning network (PLN) mentioned to me a book by Ray Oldenberg […]
