People Who Show Their Work on Snapchat
Many of you may know that for the last few months or so, I have been looking for people who show their work on Snapchat. I recently wrote about it in my blog post titled: Reflections of Snapchat Through Facebook Mutterings. You might ask, why did I do this? The answer is that I didn’t […]
How Do We Work Together?
One of the questions I get asked often by people looking to employ my services is, “How do we work together?” So I thought I’d share my answer here. One of the difficult things I’ve gone through in the last two years as an independent consultant is exactly defining the one thing that I most […]

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 […]

Networked Workers Learn From the World Around Them
For the last few days I have been revisiting the notes in my Evernote notebooks and deleting things that are now outdated or irrelevant to me. Usually when I can find some time, I go through this process a few times a year. I find it cathartic to release myself of information that no longer serves […]
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 […]
There’s A Hole In My Bucket…Or You’ve Reached Your Email Limit
Last week my husband excitedly told me to stop what I was doing and to listen to a clip he had found on YouTube with Harry Belafonte and Odetta singing the song, “There’s a Hole in My Bucket”. If you haven’t heard it, it’s well worth a listen and a chuckle… As music […]
Have You Blabbed?
Last night I hosted a Blab session for the first time (and stupidly, I forgot to take a screenshot of it). I was introduced to this new tool about a month ago when I saw a tweet in my Twitter stream advertising that a Blab session was on. I can’t remember the topic but it piqued my […]
Ingress: Do We Need an Alternate Reality?
For a while now, I’ve been playing Ingress. Now let’s get one thing straight. I’m not really into gaming. Sure, they pique my curiosity initially but I tend to lose interest if they don’t capture my fascination or where I’m not learning anything new. I also get bored easily. However, I was curious about Ingress […]
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 […]
How to Play the Ukulele in Less than 10 000 Hours
Many of you know that I am learning to play the ukulele. I started back in February 2014 and in my post “Learning a New Skill – Ukulele Dreaming” I write how it was an impulse buy and how I ‘fell’ into learning to play this nifty little instrument. Now, although many times I may […]

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 […]
Practices That Don’t Serve Our Clients
Ever since I can remember, every role I’ve had within corporate Learning and Development teams has involved some element of systematising an internal process such as capturing the client enquiry through to servicing the client. These processes were usually focussed inward towards the L&D department as a way to explain our value by measuring our activity. They were […]
“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 […]
How do you remain relevant in a changing world? Day 1 of Work Out Loud
Well the first day of International Work Out Loud Day is nearly over. I started my week day in a way that I always do – by an hour of walking listening to business related podcasts. This morning I listened to Chris Ducker’s The New Business Podcast – Startup and Small Business Marketing NBP105 on […]
How to Knit a Compelling Story in an Age of Change
One of the biggest questions I (as well as many others in my personal learning network – PLN) have been asking is, “how come we ‘GET’ social and others don’t?” I’ve been asking this same question over and over in my head and I wish I had a magic wand that I could wave over […]
