Co-Working at the Docklands Library
Last Friday, I organised a co-working day at the Docklands Library in Melbourne and called it ThirdPlace. I started this meet up group a couple of years ago for people interested in adult education, coaching and all things related to “learning” to gather for informal social networking events. The people belong across all different industries and professions. […]
Build Your Network: A New Coaching Program
Many people who know me know that I’m a self-starter and love to learn. You’d be pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t always come naturally to me but the risk of missing out on a potential opportunity experience something new is worse than not trying anything at all. So what might come across as spontaneity or frivolity on this […]
It’s a Kinda Magic Augmented Reality
Last year, I attended an expo called Future Assembly and while there, I had an opportunity to participate in an augment reality experiment. A Melbourne based company called Plattar (@PlattarGlobal) set up their camera equipment and invited people to film a short video that they can augment onto your business card. Obviously, I was keen to give […]

Reflections of the 2015 AITD National Excellence Awards
Last weekend I flew up to Sydney on the kind invitation of Michelle Ockers from Coca Cola Amatil to attend the 2015 Australian Institute of Training and Development National Excellence Awards. I worked together with Michelle on the Work, Connect and Learn Program which was part of the Supply Chain Systems Certification Program which was […]
Someone Showed Their Work & This Was the Result
For those of you who may be questioning how I create and update this site, I’d just like to say that all work on this site is my work. I have not outsourced any of the WordPress development or updates on this site to anyone. (Mistake Numero Uno when doing anything – always outsource the […]
Reflections on the Change in the Age of Disruption Conference
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 […]
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 […]
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?

A Conversation in Intrigue
A desk is a dangerous place in which to watch the world. John Le Carre A couple of mornings ago, I made my way into Melbourne for a fascinating if not, “intriguing” event called Conversations of Intrigue hosted by @DangerousMeredith. I had little idea of what the event will be about but from what I had read […]
The Ups and Downs of Business
This year, I have been undertaking a year long Business Coaching course through David Guest Outcomes Business Group. I’m eight months in and I can say that it has been an investment in my time and also my own professional and personal development. It has enabled me to plan, prepare and streamline processes and it […]
A Short Stint into Film Making of Third Place
A long time friend of mine is preparing to set up her new business. Ever since I have known her she has always been learning. She is a qualified masseuse and a photographer (and currently in the process of getting her pilot licence) and ever since I can remember, she has been energised by her pursuits […]
3 LinkedIn Email Responses for Invitations to Connect That You Can Use
Coming up in November this year will be my 10th year of being on LinkedIn. Despite some people having a love-hate relationship with LinkedIn, my own experience and impression of this tool has been positive as is that it has helped me immensely to build my network, seek out new job opportunities and directly contact […]
Do The Pecha Kucha
I don’t know about you, but every single time someone mentions “Pecha Kucha” I think about the Horrible Histories song about the Incan Lord “Pachakuti”… Do the “Pecha Kucha” (it’s quite a catchy song)… Horrible Histories – Pachacuti from Matty driver on Vimeo. Pecha Kucha actually has nothing to do with Incas. In fact, they are […]
A Weekend Learning to Create Short Movies
This weekend I learned to create short movies. I was stuck indoors as it was pretty cold and miserable. I’m not one to go out often unless there’s a specific reason to but the cold weather gave me an excuse to catch up with my reading as well as learning how to use iMovie on […]
“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 […]
Learning is Frustrating
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been relatively quiet on the blogging front. It’s been a most frustrating time for me in many ways but don’t get me wrong. I feel quite guilty when I don’t blog – and while I’ll create a vlog instead – it’s really a “cop out” for me. Technically, vlogs […]
