I’m currently in Europe, visiting my family and friends for the first time since I moved to Australia, which is why it has all gone a bit quiet. While I’ve been away, I got the results back for my Masters Special Project, a 10,000 word piece of research and the final piece in my MastersContinue reading “Why networks matter in HR”

Could I have gone solo earlier?
I’ve had a really good week. I’ve got some really excellent work lined up for the next few months, which plays to my strengths while moving into my area of particular interest for the future, organisational behaviour. I’ve finished my degree, handing in two assignments for my Educating for Knowledge and Understanding course and finishingContinue reading “Could I have gone solo earlier?”
Pressing my life’s reset button
This week I was invited to talk to The Women’s Table, a networking group I joined a few months ago. They asked me to talk about my past career and the reasons behind my recent life change. It wasn’t necessarily easy, as several of the factors that led me to where I am now wereContinue reading “Pressing my life’s reset button”
The Future of Work
I had an absolute blast at the Centre for Workplace Leadership’s Future of Work conference over the last two days, and in a way I’m not sure where to start and what to write about. I think the various ideas will be swirling around in my head of a while, from the power of values described by LisaContinue reading “The Future of Work”
FlexThink – a workshop
I ran a workshop today via Peer Academy on How to Tackle Rigid Thinking. I’ve written on this topic previously on LinkedIn, but this was the first time I had run a workshop. The process of designing the workshop was incredibly useful in creating a framework for identifying, analysing and tackling rigid/inflexible thinking in the workplace, as wellContinue reading “FlexThink – a workshop”
Academic research in an age of social media
The last time I wrote a dissertation was 1993. It was my final year at the London School of Economics and because I had taken a semester to do Erasmus in Leiden, I had the option of writing a dissertation instead of taking an exam for one of my courses, given I had missed someContinue reading “Academic research in an age of social media”
DIGITAL TOOLS FOR STUDY
With O-week starting tomorrow, and several sessions programmed about returning to study, I’m getting really excited about embarking on my academic adventure the following week. But there’s one area that’s going to be really different for me this time and that’s the use of digital tools for studying. Last time I was at university weContinue reading “DIGITAL TOOLS FOR STUDY”
PLAYING THE SIMULATION GAME
In September of this year, I attended a workshop organised by UACES/BACES on ‘Teaching and Learning with Impact’, looking at how European studies courses could be building in elements that enhance the employability of their students. Or put more simply, how will doing European studies help me get a job?At the time I mentioned the MockContinue reading “PLAYING THE SIMULATION GAME”
Wedding spree
Two of my friends have got married this autumn and I offered to knit both of them a shawl or shrug to wear with their outfit. I’m very happy that they both accepted, and in fact chose very different things. Jane had a very traditional church wedding in Chipping Camden in the Cotswolds, and choseContinue reading “Wedding spree”
