Get your Mind in Motion this Month
The latest news and views from Motion Learning to prompt some thought
We've been busy recently, expanding our minds and developing new approaches, and we're excited to share our news:
We recently attended a fascinating talk by the "father of Positive Psychology" Martin Seligman. A challenging mix of research and practical actions prompted much thought and discussion amongst our group.
We've also been thinking about new ways to share our work, build our networks and make life more interesting and fulfilling! Read my initial response to Working Out Loud by John Stepper for more on this.
Rachel has been busy supporting women in the workplace facing the prospect of maternity leave, or coming back from it. In her interview she explains what she's doing and why it's so fulfilling.
We've also included a couple of great videos from two of our favourite communicators, Dan Pink and Tim Urban.
We hope you enjoy our news!
