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 […]
The Work, Connect and Learn Program is Over…But The Journey Has Just Begun
It’s been over a few weeks since my last blog post and believe me, I’ve been thinking about it writing every day but simply couldn’t commit the time as my first priority was to deliver the guided social learning program, Work Connect and Learn Program with Coca Cola Amatil.

First Reflections of a Social Learning Program
Okay, in the spirit of trying something different, rather than blog my reflections, I’ll record them.

If anything, I’m just dabbling with the […]
Always Look on the Bright Side – Tuesday Teachings for WOLWEEK
After an hour long walk this morning (yay! I made time for my walk!), shower and brekkie I jumped onto a train and travelled into town to work out at the NAB Village (a co-working space) before my first client site meeting. I was excited to be presenting a webinar on the Benefits of Social Networking. Pulling […]
My First Day of WOLWeek – Monday Mayhem
I was startled awake this morning. Someone was ringing the doorbell at 5:30am. I opened the door and in bolted my husband. He was angry that the taxi he had booked to drive him to the airport had not arrived and he was going to miss his flight. He had been standing outside the house […]
How to Use Social Tools To Create Learning Experiences
Last week I delivered a webinar for a public service organisation who requested a presentation to their Learning and Development teams on how to use social tools to create learning experiences. I think it went well. (At least, I hope it did! The organiser did say that the attendees were madly scribbling notes and I did get […]
Here’s One Way For Graduates to Work Out Loud with Yammer
Before I left my previous organisation for a life of freelancing, I conducted a webinar to graduates on the benefits of building and creating networks within the organisation through Yammer by “Working Out Loud”. You can read the background of what I did in the blog post, “Do Your Graduates Work Out Loud?” Yesterday I […]
