For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been trialling out a new Personal Productivity planner and I’m scratching my head about it.

Yesterday I had the honour being the invited guest on Social Chefs, a social media marketing show hosted by Christian Karasiewicz (@ckroks) and Nick Rishwain (@NickJRishwain).

I’ve been consistently snapping various educational pieces on Snapchat however, the same cannot be said for what I forget to save at the end of the day. I must get better at remembering to SAVE my videos at the end of the day or else they disappear after 24 hours and just like that, they’re […]

Have You Tried Facebook Live Yet?
Have you tried Facebook Live yet? For those who don’t know, Facebook Live is a live-streaming application that sits within Facebook and to date, the only people who are actively talking about it or promoting it in any way are social media marketers. The rest of us haven’t decided whether it’s something that we would […]

For […]

After Zuckerberg’s announcement today at F8 Developer Conference, I reckon that in say, ooh, maybe 2020 the way he’s going, he’s going to be everything to everyone and there may not be the Top 10 Learning Tools anymore…. It may just be the Top 1 (and Only) Learning Tool which will […]
This Week’s Snap Stories of Personal Learning Week of 10 April 2017
This week was all about the lead up to Easter. Although I’m not religious by any stretch of the imagination, it’s the one holiday that I can’t ever imagine being away from family.

So Snapchat is proving to be a handy tool to capture my thoughts and reflections while I’m back at work full-time and don’t have time to blog. However, don’t be under any illusion that I’ve left my blogging and will take on vlogging – far from it. Think of the vlog as a temporary measure to […]
You Have a Voice In Your Organisation
Sometimes people don’t tell us what they think about our ideas and prefer to be nice rather than having an uncomfortable conversation with us. I get that. I’ve done that many times in my life too. It’s easier to agree and say nice things rather than get into a conversation where you have to explain […]

This Week’s Snapstories About Personal Learning
I started to use Snapchat again after a long break over January as I was doing a lot of soul-searching about my independent consulting career and instead focussed on “slow reading” to get my mind on other things. (My definition of this is blocking out 5-6 hours in the day to read without any distractions). […]
