A few weeks back, I was invited by Andrew Jacobs (@AndrewJacobsLnD) to chat with Laura Overton (@lauraoverton) on his new podcast The Women Talking about Learning. This is a different podcast where Andrew, as the host effectively holds the space but doesn’t contribute or engage in the conversation between two women who are in the […]

A Distracted Mind
For the last few days, I’ve not accessed social media on my phone because I deleted all social media off it! After a hissy fit where I felt like shit because I was constantly picking up the bloody thing to Twitter that would feed me information that made me angry (mainly news related), I […]
The Costs of Learning Something New
You probably would have seen my rants and raves online about French. Don’t think I’ve lost the plot or something. If anything I’m letting off some steam usually because I think I should be at a level higher than where I’m at the moment. However, it’s all my fault of course. I’m more angry at […]
Capturing Video Testimonials
Sometimes we make things really hard don’t we? One of the things we’ve been trying to do is to capture success stories from customers that minimised the to and fro that goes with planning interview times, recording, editing and approving. To share stories of how you go through a process or how you overcame some […]
Without Feedback There Ain’t No Learning
For a while now I’ve been thinking “without feedback, there ain’t no learning”. Why? As you know, I’ve been learning French. I started this year taking a more self-directed approach to the language before realising that I can’t escape the fact that I need to speak it – and by speaking I mean having someone – […]
When Learning Is Hard
This year has been quite a ride when it comes to new learning. Much of it has absolutely nothing to do with communities or corporate Learning and Development. It’s all personal stuff building new skills and capabilities in my work and daily tasks. In my role as Community Manager, I’m also helping out in various […]
Doubting Yourself
This year has been a weird year for all of us. As I sat listening to the early results of the USA election where Trump prematurely claimed victory and shared that he doubted the democratic electoral process, I started to doubt myself. I sat watching the coverage amazed at how close the results were. For […]
A Little Bit of Creativity Every Day
I’ve been enjoying the daily process of creating a video to share what it is I’m working and learning. Although I don’t create these every day, I’ve changed the way I capture these (I used to capture them on Instagram Stories and before that, Snapchat). Now, I simply use the video camera on my phone […]
Thread Helper
I like investigating new tools that help me with my work and learning. I’ve been using Twitter for many years and in recent times, I have been strongly deliberating whether to stay on it or leave. It’s true that I have made many friends on this platform and build a great network of people around […]
