Today I’m working on a book chapter about how #LearningAndDevelopment professionals can take charge of their own development. Reflecting on how connecting with others on Twitter and n 2014 put me on a new growth trajectory and radically shifted my professional path.

Have been on a good health quest for past two months. Finding practical ideas from #GoodEnergy by Dr Casey Means super useful. Great underpinning science too. Feeling very good lately.

Trying to get balance right for in my feed between news from US, Australia (where I live) and other parts of the world. Any good accounts to follow for #AustralianNews ? Or global news. Don’t want posts with links that are behind paywalls

I’ve not put much effort / time / energy into engaging on Blue Sky. Think I got used to not integrating this kind of engagement into the flow of my work and life when Twitter became less useful. Now wondering if I will rebuild engagement here.

Nice start to the day - paddling on our local lake. I’m breaking in my inflatable kayak - love that I can get it from home to the lakes edge and back on foot on my own

The Limitations of Self-Testing in Learning
Self-testing via unstructured self-generated questions isn't inherently beneficial. Structured practice materials and guidance are critical for maximising the benefits of testing as a learning strategy. #EduSky

My home grown tomato weighed 500 grams. It is tasted delicious too! Grown organically in soil enriched with my own compost and worm farm ‘juice.’

Coila Beach - a short rest stop on my local walk. 2.5km from home. I’ve set the intention to #walk 10,000 steps per day - not just in 2025 but always. Inspired to keep myself in shape for developments in #RadicalLifeExtension

I'm preparing to run an end-of project phase #restrospective - I used to use Jamboard for these but tool is no longer available. Apart from Miro what other easy to use, firewall-proof tools do you suggest for this purpose?

Time to start reflecting on 2024 and setting intentions for 2025. Recorded end of year #LearningUncut podcast ep with Chemene Sinson today. Appreciated the different lens she brought to looking at 2024 ep. Firming up by intent to start a fortnightly chat about most recent ep on this platform.

Went beach fishing after work. Came home to find an #echidna meandering across my driveway. Followed it and watched it curl up under a bush pretending it wasn’t there :-) I looked up to see a #tawnyfrogmouth owl looking straight at me from on top of a post 2 metres away. Magic moment!

I've taken a couple of days off book writing to get business management tasks up to date and work on AITD capability framework project. Getting my head back into writing today - feel like I've lost momentum. (Hence I'm here posting/procrastinating!)

I've been working with AITD and a fantastic group of almost 30 volunteers on a new L&D capability framework. As a veteran of similar initiatives I’m delighted to see the fresh thinking that the volunteers are applying. It's shaping up as a practical tool that captures the capabilities we need.

This #LearningUncut episode will be out on 3 December - keep an eye out for it if you are interested in #SelfDirectedLearning
In a first for #LearningUncut podcast I just recorded the second half of a podcast 7 weeks after recording the first half. My guest, a digital learning team lead, just ran an experiment to encourage self directed learning habits. We recorded first part before the experiment then followed up after

Ducked down to my local beach for a spot of fishing after work yesterday . Caught a couple of decent Australian salmon. Had one for dinner last night - within two hours of pulling it out off the ocean. Doesn’t get much fresher than that.

Flashback - 2 years today since I travelled 1,200km and arrived in Tuross Head to move in with this great guy. Still as happy as I was when we took this photo on a local beach that afternoon. Life in a small coastal town (population approx 2,400) is pretty sweet!

I’m #writingabook. Deadline is 5 weeks away. I’ve shifted my mindset from “I’ll never make it” to “How might I get it done by the deadline?” Did a quick pre-mortem this morning and put some tactics in place to build momentum.
