I had enough. What was all this fuss about Snapchat? While the rest of the world was espousing this as “the next Twitter”, I decided to devote some time to revisit my account and figure out what the fuss was about. I’ll share my reflections of Snapchat. For the last couple of months, I have […]
Have We Reached Saturation with Social Networks?
I’m in love with Snapchat. There I’ve said it. For the last couple of years I just “didn’t get it”. It was one social medium that I had no idea how to use, how to find followers and the whole point of disappearing snaps. I discounted it too quickly without realising the huge benefit of […]
Professional Development is Personal
It’s no secret, I love to learn. It’s what keeps me curious, engaged and excited about what I do. Over the years, the internet and in particular, social media, online communities and social networks have provided me with a wealth of resources, information and constant ideas that inspire and mesmerise me…and also confuse me! Still, […]
Why You Should Share Your Work
Many of you may be aware that I’m a fan of the work of Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer). It was only recently at the Pivot Summit in Geelong that I had been made aware of his work and I signed up to follow his Facebook page. Robert Scoble used to work at Rackspace as their futurist. Much […]
What Will I Be Working On This Week?
Well, it’s finally arrived. International Work Out Loud week is here. For those who don’t know what the fuss is about, it’s one week of the year where we all encourage people to narrate and show what they’re working on. Whether it’s showing their work openly on public networks or in their own enclosed enterprise […]
“Promoting Empathy By Sharing Perspective”
Many people are aware that I watch Casey Niestat’s daily videos as part of my morning routine before I start any work for the day. It’s morning walk, breakfast, coffee, Casey, work – in that order. But why? Ever since I saw his video called Casey’s Wildly Functional Studio a few months back, I was hooked. Here was […]
How do you remain relevant in a changing world? Day 1 of Work Out Loud
Well the first day of International Work Out Loud Day is nearly over. I started my week day in a way that I always do – by an hour of walking listening to business related podcasts. This morning I listened to Chris Ducker’s The New Business Podcast – Startup and Small Business Marketing NBP105 on […]
Lawyers and Libraries
Yesterday I created another vlog. I travelled into a suburb of Melbourne called Box Hill to go and get some legal advice. It was the first time in my life that I had need of a solicitor and they came highly recommended. (I posted the question on Facebook and two of my good friends – […]
My Work Out Loud Day Vlog Number 3
I am taking a liking to vlogging but let’s just say that it’s dangerous. Why? Blogging and vlogging require different thought processes. While one is quite reflective, mulling over what I’m going to write and how to express my thoughts into coherent sentences to make sense of the thing that I’m grappling with, vlogging is an […]
A Work Out Loud Day
During my walk today, I decided to take some video footage of my day. I was going to go to a Business Planning workshop that occurs every three months as part of my business coaching program. We have set our annual goals of what we want to achieve in our business and then break those […]
