This week I’m obsessed with …podcasts…
Ok…so this story all starts with my desire to get better at multi-tasking. There are so many things that I am trying to squeeze into my days, I’m always looking for ways that I can kill two birds with one stone by mastering effective multi-tasking. Now, I realise in a world where most of us…

Social Communication – I’ve finally found my thing!
As I’ve mentioned before, being digitally savvy has never actually been my thing. I’m not a socially born millennial and for years I watched in confusion as my sister designed her first My Space page and then kept telling me I should get onto Facebook while I shrugged and said “nah..don’t really get that…

From cynic to superstar
I love those moments when the light suddenly comes on, when the epiphany happens on something key. I get to see this quite a lot with my work around social. People who suddenly realise the cyber world that lurks beneath the surface, like an explosion of connectivity and community…there are people all over the world,…

Social Serendipity
In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m kinda a control freak. I like to know exactly what is happening and have a plan of action in place. I don’t go into meetings (or the weekend) without having already thought through multiple scenario’s and made a plan for each. I organise what we are eating for dinner…

The social world has opened the door to a myriad of information and contact points…

Inspired to change but struggling to take action?
I’ve been running Executive coaching session recently, trying to help our leaders to build their social skills. Communication in the modern workplace has changed significantly, and the expectation on our leaders (on all of us) has grown. But “being social” is not just about learning how to use LinkedIn or IBM Connections, it’s a pretty…

Will commuting to work become a thing of the past?
Last week I decided to drive for nearly 4 hours so that I could meet some of my team members in person. Now…I am a massive advocate of virtual working and I am really fortunate to work for a company that has amazing technology and the right culture to support virtual working. But I was…

Well…I’m here!
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I am finally here. I’ll be honest and say I’ve spent the last few days (OK weeks), playing around with my themes, updating my “about me” page and basically doing an amazing job at procrastinating around the real job at hand…writing my very first public post! I think the…
