Well finally I’ve had some time to put some thoughts on my reflections of the Change in the Age of Disruption Conference that I attended in Sydney at the Jones Bay Wharf Conference Centre last week. Since then, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my participation as a presenter at this conference but also how […]
Is Learning the New Thrill Seeker Sport?
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It’s 5:18 am on a Sunday morning and I can’t sleep. This is a usual state of affairs before every conference I attend. Next week I will be presenting at the Change Management Institute’s Change in the Age of Disruption Conference in Sydney and I’m equally excited as I am nervous […]
What Not To Do When You’re At an Entrepreneurs Convention
Last week I did the unthinkable (or so I thought). The idea got me thinking whether I was actually serious about the topic or whether like a true entrepreneur, I just did my own thing… Guess, I won’t be a millionaire anytime soon…. What do you think? Stay or go?
Melbourne Business Awards
This morning I attended the Melbourne Business Awards Breakfast hosted by the City of Kingston. Guest speaker Alex Kingsbury spoke about how 3D printing is disrupting supply chains and product fabrication processes. She talked about CSIRO’s Lab22 (named after the atomic number of Titanium) offers local businesses with services in training and 3D printing. She […]

Rather than write a blog post I’m being lazy), I thought I’d Storify the tweets and include my reflections within them…. Day 1: Monday 11 November 2013 Day 2: Tuesday 12 November 2013
Community Learning Programs in Melbourne
Two nights ago after work, I wandered over to the State Library of Victoria, a place I hadn’t visited for some years. It was looking a bit worse for wear in my opinion or maybe I was just becoming a grumpy old woman for noticing the dirt and rubbish that side of town. It was […]
One Small Step for Us, One Large Step for our Team
This week we had our People Day. Over 400 people across Australia in the Human Resource function travelled to Melbourne to gather and hear our Leadership Team talk about the challenges of the future and how we can work together to face them. Although I will not go into detail here about what was covered, […]

Bob Lee and Jim Recker spoke on the Strategies for the Flipped Classroom Model for Business Learning at LearnX through a live online event on Go To Meeting so that we could see it in action…(although they did mention it was ironic that they were lecturing to us via this medium….) “Business learning has replicated […]

LearnX 2013
It’s not everyday that you get the opportunity to go to a learning conference with your colleagues. I jumped at the chance when I was asked as they were going to receive an award for the best accessible eLearn course at LearnX. As it was in Sydney, a city I don’t like to visit often, […]
EduTech 2013 – A Curated Montage
EduTech 2013 was held in the city Australians affectionately call, “Bris-Vegas” because frankly, it’s absolutely nothing like the other exciting city in the US. However, with a major educational technology conference at the Convention Centre, we could have been mistaken. I don’t know what possessed me NOT to carry my laptop to the EduTech Conference. […]
Learning Design in Australia – Is It Mature Enough?
Today I participated as a panel member for the Learning Cafe webinar “Learning Design in Australia – Is It Mature Enough?” When I agree to do these things, whether it is speaking publicly or presenting to a small group or even online through webinars or virtual classrooms, I always have slight anxiety attacks. The heart […]

It took a while to decide but I finally bit the bullet – I registered for Converge 2012. Of course this means that some of my nephews and nieces will go without Christmas presents but my professional development comes first 😉 (Okay okay, you know I’m only kidding). With these conferences, when you look through […]

4 Things I Learned at LearnX
Read the LearnX story by clicking on the Storify icon. This year has been a massive personal learning journey for me. I have decided that my ‘old world’ thinking in learning and development is not serving its purpose anymore and I need to step out of my comfort zone of the learning and development field […]
Reflections of TedX 2012 Future Leadership Event in Melbourne
I’m glad to say that I’m not a Ted virgin anymore. Sometimes I think that I’m “behind the 8-ball” with a lot of things – I simply don’t jump on the bandwagon with everyone else. I’m the one who watches other people jump over each other to get onboard that wagon, watch it squeak past me and if the wheels or people dont […]
Personal Learning Environment (PLE) Conference 2012
On Thursday 12 July and Friday 13 July I attended the PLE Conference held at the Deakin Business Centre in Melbourne. It was a collaboration between Deakin University and University of Aveiro in Portugal. I had stumbled upon PLEs through a Twitter stream that piqued my curiosity and after a bit of research realised that […]
