My husband wanted to help out with the housework and I was surprised. “I’ll help with the vacuuming,” he said. Here I was thinking that he could help me lug that heavy Dyson vacuum cleaner around the house until he showed me a Robo Vac on sale in some advertising material he removed from the […]
A New About Me Page
Today I did a few things to update my old “brand” (is that the dreaded word we use now?). Now that I’m not working and unlikely to ever go back into the corporate world doing what I did before, I realise that I have no formal “occupation” as such. I have described myself as “semi […]
I’m a Luddite
I held out for as long as I could but it seems inevitable that in the near future, I will have to surrender. For the moment, I’m holding firm. People around me don’t understand what I’m doing or why I’m doing it. Me, on the other hand can’t see how they cannot. They think I’m […]
A Little Bit Changed
It’s been a wild ride these last couple of years, ones in which I wouldn’t like to repeat as the world experienced something that touched every single one of us in different ways. I’d be lying if I said that it hasn’t affected me on some deep level despite being luckier than most. It’s been […]
Transformation
In this post I write about 2021 being the year of transformation.
Change Without Fear

Reflections on the Change in the Age of Disruption Conference

Since then, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my participation as a presenter at this conference but also how […]
Is Learning the New Thrill Seeker Sport?
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It’s 5:18 am on a Sunday morning and I can’t sleep. This is a usual state of affairs before every conference I attend. Next week I will be presenting at the Change Management Institute’s Change in the Age of Disruption Conference in Sydney and I’m equally excited as I am nervous […]
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 […]
Big Data, Shig Shata. But What Does It Mean for Us?
In the lead up to Melbourne Cup, the “race that stops our nation”, one finds that the spring carnival is on the tip of everyone’s lips. If you’re not talking about the races, the fashions, the celebrities flying out to our shores, then you’re talking about the fluctuating weather. One day it’s a sunny 31 degrees, […]
