It’s that time of the year again when I write down reflections of the year past and oh, what a year. First things first, there’s no reason trying to recall anything because I’ve either taken video footage of it in my YouTube vlog or written about it in my journal (private writing not shared). So […]

Mindset
In an effort to change my mindset and not to be too wrapped up in my thoughts anymore, I deleted social media off my phone…again – for a bit of respite. This time when I use social media, it’ll be the times I happen to be sitting at my desktop – so expect less tweets. […]
Thread Helper
I like investigating new tools that help me with my work and learning. I’ve been using Twitter for many years and in recent times, I have been strongly deliberating whether to stay on it or leave. It’s true that I have made many friends on this platform and build a great network of people around […]
Importance of Feedback When Using Video
Many of you already know that for some years since 2016, I have been showing and sharing my work and learning out loud using Snapchat as the video editor of choice. Since early 2019, I stopped using Snapchat because it came too glitchy on my phone. When I first started using it over 4 years […]
Managing Boundaries in Your Work and Home Life

Choose Your Own Adventure
Last night we sat down in front of the television with no plan other than to chill out. I had some knitting to do so I turned to my husband and asked, “Can we watch a movie?” I’ve been finding that sometimes I just want to watch a short movie that doesn’t require bingeing on […]
Discover 2 Learn
In the early days of COVID when countries all around the world were going into lockdown, I was approached by Jane Hart (@C4LPT) who I have long since admired and respected in the field of learning to be part of her idea to create a website of curated learning activities for people in lockdown. This […]
Creativity During Isolation
Despite this time being difficult for many, one of the things I have loved to watch online is the explosion of new people who are now sharing more than ever. Both on LinkedIn and Twitter, my timeline now is abundant with different voices with content that is being shared and retweeted of not just […]
Daily Story Making
I’ve been working out loud since 2016 using daily video stories to show and share the in-moment work and learning I’m doing and in recent times, I’ve just realised how valuable these have been not only to record my daily existence but also for my mental health and well being. You can see them all […]
Flip The Way You Think About Work
One of the things that has been surprising to me during this period of isolation with COVID19 and working with companies who are moving their operations and teamwork to an online format into MS Teams and other collaboration software is this MYTH that you can easily move what was delivered face-to-face BC (Before Corona) automatically […]
Random Morning Thoughts About Information Served Up to Us by AI
Every morning, I go for my walk and like to listen to podcasts. Usually these make me think about something or another and send me down rabbit warrens to explore. This week I decided to listen to Learning Uncut the podcast by Michelle Ockers (@michelleockers), Karen Moloney (@karenmoloney) and Amanda Ashby which was on “Democratising […]

This morning I had some thoughts about what to do for my upcoming presentation for LearnTec2020 in Germany on 28-30 January so here are my thought in a screen dump of tweets. I didn’t want them to get lost in cyberspace so putting them into my blog. I will be teasing out this session over […]
Getting Ready for Microsoft Ignite
There’s 9 days until Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft’s largest technology conference and I’m excited to say the least albeit a tad nervous too. I would never have guessed that I would have been going to a Microsoft conference in the United States no less but I’m ridiculously happy that I am. The lead up to the […]
Humans Connected But Alone
via GIPHY Recently I’ve been watching a series on ABCiView called Humans. It’s a show created in the UK about a recent future where robots (they call them ‘synths’) are used for various manual labour situations in the home or work. Seeing these situations played out on the television screen makes me mind race with […]
Reflective Practice in the Workplace
“The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.[Christopher Hitchens] This week I was invited to be a guest on the Good Practice podcast (a podcast on Work, Learning and Performance) which I accepted with some hesitation. (You should have seen the long-winded DM response in Twitter […]

What I’ve Been Reading This Week – Friday 29 March 2019
Some years ago, every week I listed what I was reading, learning, doing. I have no idea why I stopped – I guess life got in the way. This year, I’ve been remiss with my blog writing and I think it’s because I’ve been spending my time either (a) working or (b) doing other stuff […]
Drawing as Thinking and Treasure Maps
This morning I sat down to go through my bookmarked tweets so that I could catch up with my reading and spent all of my time on the one tweet which was this one by @GiuliaForsythe… Got my reading list sorted for this weekend.
