This Week’s Snap Stories on Personal Learning
This week I continue to use Snapchat as my video editor to vlog some of my snap stories on personal learning. As well as continuing with the disheartening job search, I have been using this week to read more books (I’m now reading Drucker’s The Learning Organization) as well as write an ebook on Snapchat.

Today is the third day of International Work Out Loud Week and it’s all about making a contribution. So for today’s challenge, my contribution will be to share my own story on Snapchat on how Working Out Loud has helped me in my own business so that it could open the conversation for others in their […]

Are Member Associations Worth It Anymore?
Lately, I’ve been thinking “are member associations worth it anymore?” This question came about from a small sideline project I’m working on – it’s my own initiative so I’m free to write about it here. It was a kernel of an idea that planted itself in my head one day that had to be explored. It […]
Professional Development is Personal
It’s no secret, I love to learn. It’s what keeps me curious, engaged and excited about what I do. Over the years, the internet and in particular, social media, online communities and social networks have provided me with a wealth of resources, information and constant ideas that inspire and mesmerise me…and also confuse me! Still, […]

“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 […]
Lawyers and Libraries
Yesterday I created another vlog. I travelled into a suburb of Melbourne called Box Hill to go and get some legal advice. It was the first time in my life that I had need of a solicitor and they came highly recommended. (I posted the question on Facebook and two of my good friends – […]
My Work Out Loud Day Vlog Number 3
I am taking a liking to vlogging but let’s just say that it’s dangerous. Why? Blogging and vlogging require different thought processes. While one is quite reflective, mulling over what I’m going to write and how to express my thoughts into coherent sentences to make sense of the thing that I’m grappling with, vlogging is an […]
A Work Out Loud Day
During my walk today, I decided to take some video footage of my day. I was going to go to a Business Planning workshop that occurs every three months as part of my business coaching program. We have set our annual goals of what we want to achieve in our business and then break those […]

First Reflections of a Social Learning Program
Okay, in the spirit of trying something different, rather than blog my reflections, I’ll record them. One of my goals for 2015 was to experiment more with video – but don’t get ahead of yourselves thinking that I’m going to be the next Oliver Stone or something like that. If anything, I’m just dabbling with the […]
Always Look on the Bright Side – Tuesday Teachings for WOLWEEK
After an hour long walk this morning (yay! I made time for my walk!), shower and brekkie I jumped onto a train and travelled into town to work out at the NAB Village (a co-working space) before my first client site meeting.

How to Use Social Tools To Create Learning Experiences
Last week I delivered a webinar for a public service organisation who requested a presentation to their Learning and Development teams on how to use social tools to create learning experiences. I think it went well. (At least, I hope it did! The organiser did say that the attendees were madly scribbling notes and I did get […]
