Revolutionary geekery and melodramatic reflections on perpetual learning and other pathways to peace

As mentioned before, I am a sucker for books. It’s actually quite scary to look at the list of books I went through since I last forced myself to review them. Alas.

Let’s do this thing.

There’s no particular order to these short reviews. I own most of these books either on paper or as audio book. As I do believe in book sharing: Drop me a line if you want one of them! [Read more →]

Jamie Ridler asks:

What do you wish to complete?

When answering this question, I notice how many of my current projects aren’t so much asking for completion, but for the establishment of a practice. Each completed step is just progress, but nothing to hold on to; nothing that would give me permission to let go.

Still, when reflecting about my themes for the year complete was one of them. I even made a list (and did sufficiently well on it).

For now, I wish to complete:

1. The Toastmasters Competent Leader Certificate
2. The Professional Diploma in Marketing
3. The book ‘Branded’

Completing things creates room for new things to emerge.

Very excited this week: I’m back to school. At least in the evenings. And I love it. Monday was the first day of my 1-year Professional Diploma in Marketing. It’s a blended online class with a handful of workshops scattered throughout the year. The best part: Jotting down ideas and thoughts on articles and methodologies in the course logbook. No pressure to be perfect, no pressure to implement everything. I’m there to learn.
