Just in Time Learner
What skills can we develop to be ready for the future?
I was on maternity leave when I saw ChatGPT at work for the first time. My overstimulated, under rested mind immediately jumped forward 6 months and I wondered whether I'd have a job to go back to.
The Value of Just-in-Time Learning
When we first bought our remote property back in 2017, we aspired to off grid living. Initially we ruled it out due to cost and complexity. It moved to the "someday" list. As we've been watching the demand for energy increase this year, and the costs rise too, we decided to look at solar again.

Unlocking your learning motivation
What motivates you to learn? We've been exploring the mindsets and methods that shape our learning experience, but this week let's get a bigger picture perspective on learning.

Discover your unique Learning Style
When I was four years old my mum went to teachers' college. She had worked many different jobs before having kids. Her natural inclination to teach led her to the classroom and gave me the gift of learning from her example.

Envision Your Version of Success
If you can connect the dots between who you are, what you believe, and what you do, you will experience your life as meaningful.
Are you climbing a ladder that's leaning against the wrong wall?
Open LinkedIn and you'll read about the success of others; open Instagram and you're bombarded with suggestions about the things you need to own and the places you must go to be as good as everyone else.

Wandering Through Stories: A Journey Across Europe
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to Europe through the pages of books and the frames of films. The continent’s rich history, layered architecture, and centuries-old stories called to me from across the world in Aotearoa New Zealand. I wanted to walk the same cobbled streets where countless lives had unfolded long before mine.
How I Stopped Treating AI Like a Search Engine
At the start of 2024, I was still in the habit of treating AI like a search engine—asking a question and hoping to get the “right” answer. The trouble with that approach is it often comes with a closed mindset; we typically have a predetermined answer in mind when we ask the question.
