G’day all! I’m popping in to share some news – I’ll be presenting at the CILIP Conference in July! ….and this is the only work I’m allowed to do on sabbatical. (though just now I’ve found another conference in the UK I’d really, really like to attend but the dates fall...
Every now and then I’ll have a not so great day at work. A meeting might not have gone the way I envisioned, I didn’t speak up or I’m not on the same page as others, I didn’t know about something and probably should have, or something wasn’t completed on...
I wouldn’t consider myself an early riser. Nor am I the kind of person who bounces out of bed (working on that one). I do value a positive and present mindset before I embark on my day. To achieve this, I need two things – good habits and a cup...
It’s about time I joined in the conversation about blogging. A colleague has called me out. And yes, I have a contribution. This isn’t the first time I’ve put thoughts down on this topic over this month. I’ve been scribbling almost daily. Only now I think I can put them...
