Here are this month’s snap stories of personal learning for March 2019.
Every week and every month, I like to review these videos to see what I have been doing every day. It’s a great way to capture all my work and learning – and also to see progress towards my goals.
Every month I allocate an hour to review these daily videos I take on Snapchat and share these here on my blog. I use these videos as an online portfolio of my work – an online CV if you will.
Many of these are not shared across other social networks unless there’s something specific to that particular social media community I’d like to share. In effect, these are my own “sharing of my work out loud” videos and not for the purposes of marketing but rather of personal and professional development.
No specific details about any client work are shown here without their permission. If you would like to know further information about anything I mention in these videos, contact me.
It’s been a bit of a quiet month where I have been sharing more fun stuff than work related snaps because I’ve been busier than usual catching up with client work so little opportunity to snap while working….
Friday 1 March 2019
Today I meet up with a good friend of mine whom I hadn’t seen in a while. She’s in the field of learning and development but exploring ways to use what she knows for a different field. Chatting with her I was inspired with new ideas and she gave me an idea about story telling in business which harboured the need for me to really expand my networks to not only outside my field, but my culture as well.
Saturday 2 March 2019
Today I read some journal articles on how comic books can be used in decision making and it sends me down a rabbit warren where I draw my typical day in comic book format. I have a revelation that it’s exactly what I’ve been doing on Snapchat Stories which use the same principles.
Sunday 3 March 2019
Tex and his heavy metal music is doing my head in!
Monday 4 March 2019
Today I try and figure out how to do event registrations for webinars but using only Microsoft products and services. I find out about MS Booking and Power Apps and also how to use lists within SharePoint to be able to do this. However, seems convoluted – it may just be easier to use a site like EventBrite…
Tuesday 5 March 2019
Today is the Hour of Power – an hour where our colleagues take the reins and teach us something new. I share how we do this. I also talk about completing a Microsoft Mooc and find out that I’m an ENFJ for Myers Briggs – although I don’t care much for that pseudo psych quackery.

Today I spend the day at the International Womens Day lunch and tea event at the City of Glen Eira council.

A day trip into a south eastern suburb of Melbourne called Malvern with my parents.

Today I spend the day at the Melbourne Museum with my friend Fiona – or you may know of her as @White_Owly on Twitter.
Monday 11 March 2019
It’s a public holiday so I spend the day with my mum exploring the opportunity shops in a nearby suburb and going through Cheltenham Park. I do an animation about how much I hate the word “hustle”.
Wednesday 13 March 2019
Today I spent recording audio for a module I’m developing on collaboration for our work’s Academy community.

Mucking about at home doing stuff, picking up the uke again after years…

Tuesday 19 March 2019
Today I share how I’m reclaiming my time and going ‘old school’ with how I structure my work day. I also talk about linking of Microsoft with LinkedIn and why I have chosen NOT to link these two accounts.

Today I go out to a client in Preston and share what I get up to before the client meeting.

Today was the fourth birthday of my nephew so we celebrated that in the park.
