Ever since stumbling upon Casey Niestat’s vlogs, something has just ‘switched on’ in my mind and I’ve been inspired. In particular, the video of his Wildly Functional Studio made me think about my own work, workplace and working out loud. Watch his video first and then come back to this blog… Well, what did you think? Did […]
Activate My Learning
I’m so excited to be able to bring to you an idea “Activate My Learning” that has been mulling in my mind for a while. Many of you know that I like to experiment with all sorts of different learning tools and apps and have a bit of fun in the process. For the last […]
The Village Square
Some years ago I had travelled to Greece, the country of my heritage and landed in Crete. It was the first time I had travelled to Greece and I remember that even though I could speak the language and shared the customs and traditions, there were still many elements that remained foreign and curious to me […]
Simulating Real Life Workplace Experiences

Katrina, our Community Space Captain was there to welcome us when the elevator took us to […]

Last year was filled with wonderful opportunities where I met my personal learning network face-to-face none more so than my trip to the UK which cemented an idea in my head. That idea transpired into a meetup for Learning and Development professionals to meet informally, share their work and skills in a social setting usually […]
Using LinkedIn to Merge Your Internal and External Networks
At the end of June, my contract at the current organisation ends. After working there on two different contracts for the last couple of years, I have built up a great network of people with different skills across technology, banking, retail and support. However, I didn’t realise this until late but it dawned on me […]

What I Learned In April
I cannot believe how quickly the months go by this year but in all honesty, I’m secretly thankful for it as it brings me closer to our overseas holiday! This month has been a bumper learning month for me. I started a new role with the Virtual Learning team that saw me help, assist and […]
