“A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.

I’ve got to start with apologies to everyone who reads this via email. In experimenting with my workflow, I found a way that works great getting all the content to my website on WordPress but when MailChimp picked it up from there for the email version it looked bloody awful. My apologies. So for now, I’m back to the old way of doing things and your email should look way better than last week. Thanks for hanging in there with me while the man behind the curtain is pulling some levers. 

Happy Friday! Thanks for reading. 

What I’m Listening to:  This week I’ve had the House Focus playlist running on a loop. It has been just what the doctor ordered with just a little bit of energy infused to help keep me focused on work.

Learning Is The Ultimate Competitive Advantage – Are You Ready?

As learning professionals, this rapid pace of change, means that we must move beyond the course-focused approach that has traditionally dominated most organizations.

The Presentation Podcast

There are only a select few podcasts that I eagerly look forward to every episode and the Presentation Podcast is at the top of that list. Even though I’ve never met any of them they feel like old friends and I always come away learning something useful. The current episode covers remote presenting and include Richard Goring, Mike Parkinson and Cliff Kennedy in addition to the regular hosts Sandy Johnson, Troy Chollar, and Nolan Haims. Add it to your playlist – you’ll be glad you did.
