Foster & Build Lifelong Learning Practices in Your Day-to-Day Job
I’m excited to announce that our work at Adopt & Embrace will have a new book out some time in the new year that will be slightly different to our first published book called Microsoft Team: A Manager’s Guide to Communication, Collaboration and Co-ordination with Microsoft Teams. Although it will be a surprise, the focus […]
Lifelong Learning as a Human Right
I’m reading a book by Daniel Susskind called A World Without Work and it makes for some fascinating reading. Once I finish it and have a chance to put some thoughts on paper about it, I’ll share a video review on YouTube. This year I’ve been reflecting on a lot of things namely, trying to […]
Learning Out Loud Is Like a Photo Album
I have had my YouTube channel for some years now. I like to call it my “Learning Biography”. It started as a way to upload all my daily videos from Snapchat where I shared my experiments, thoughts, reflections of the things I was learning about and working on. A kind of video album as well […]
What I Learned About Myself – And About Learning – Learning French
Many of you know that I have been learning French this year. I have been devoting time, energy and attention to getting my language skill up to speed in the hope that I learn this language to the point of being able to speak it, read it and also understand it when it is spoken […]

It was primarily because I had more time given that I work three days a week (personal choice for my mental health and wellbeing) which left me the other days to focus on everything else. Given that there wasn’t much going […]

This means that I’m spending less time doing mindless scrolling and wasting time on it because I’ve effectively reduced picking up the phone at odd times at the expense of doing other activities […]
Nostalgia
I’ve been thinking a lot about the past this year. Guess you can call it “being nostalgic”. I’ve been thinking more about the good times in the past where for whatever reason I seemed to feel as if I “was in my element”, a time where I seemed to have a carefree attitude without negative […]
iTalki – A Great App If You Need to Practice Speaking a Language
I have written a lot on Twitter about spending time learning French. This year, as part of a personal challenge (and also being in lockdown), I figured it was high time for me to get back into French with a vengeance. The last time I had any formal education was back in 1981-1985 so you […]
The Women Talking About Learning Podcast
A few weeks back, I was invited by Andrew Jacobs (@AndrewJacobsLnD) to chat with Laura Overton (@lauraoverton) on his new podcast The Women Talking about Learning. This is a different podcast where Andrew, as the host effectively holds the space but doesn’t contribute or engage in the conversation between two women who are in the […]
