Two years after my previous personality profiling, I’ve completed another as part of a workplace activity – the CliftonStrengths assessment. The five most dominant CliftonStrengths revealed by my responses are: Developer: I recognise and cultivate the potential in others. You spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from evidence of progress.Includer: I …

For Day 11 of The 12 Days of AI, the 20 minute task is to learn about TeacherMatic, a multi-feature AI tool that could be useful for HE educators.

At ACMI, there’s a wall-sized art installation with chart that maps the essential elements needed in (an advertising) campaign when “Selling to Australia”. The chart is most likely to be correct about the Australian-ness of these elements, and I’m also thinking that many of these might also be inherent to all humans (in varying degrees), …
I’m on a mission to ‘level up my PM skills’. The first step is to find out more about current thinking and approaches towards product, which is why I made my way through the product-led fundamentals course by ProductLed. My experience of the course. It’s an interesting mini-course that does what it says (on the …

Started making my way through “Make something wonderful” and it’s resonating with me, especially the bits about working as a team, value of work, production, being human and doing stuff that’s meaningful to you – discovering some great stuff as I go!
Found these cards at the bookshop – I was hoping they had a legit framework for decision making, but turns out they’re only great looking graphic design with semi-motivational quotes and pithy statements. Still cool, but not what expected or wanted.
I’ve just registered for The Push-Up Challenge 2023. I’ve now been a Pushuperer for 2 years, which is fantastic. Like the previous year, I’ll be completing 3,144 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health. Also like the previous year, I’ll continue to push and power-up to my Push-Up Challenge Playlist …
