According to a new report from the World Economic Forum, it is crystal clear that creativity is going to be one of the most important and in-demand skills in the next 5 years.
In this book complication for 2018, I will be sharing what I have read for the whole of last year and how the stories of each author will inspire you to greatness!
She was my tkeynote
Peter Senge was an accidental discovery that kept coming back to haunt me. It tells me a lot on how organisations can evolve towards learning organisations. It captivated me with concepts such as learning disabilities, found within
This book calms me quite a little, especially the lessons in dealing with children emotions. These are really practical strategies that I easily took away, including understanding the three different zones(red
This title became a conversation starter as I was also trying to find out how successful people really became successful. I was portraying the story of how people who were born between January to March were more successful than those who were born later. I personally find pleasure in reading this book as it unlocked many successful people’s behind the scene stories and captivated me throughout. The many external factors other than high IQ that weighs in to make a person successful kept me going in this book.
This book felt like going through Inception(the movie). Unlock new perspectives of what you perceive the world as, and see why others are actually not seeing what you see. You’ll begin understanding that whatever you see around the world right now, might not be what it really is. I hope he doesn’t mess around with your mind too much. I shall not add on anymore spoilers.
I had a dream, that dream was to change the world. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how should I go about doing this. Make your bed is a simple and concise book on how you can make a difference in your life, he suggested 10 life lessons you need to bear in mind, he re-emphasizes it through his Navy seal stories. Start with making your bed each day, and you’ll change the world. This book is short and certainly worth the read.
This was one of the first books that were published by Howard Schultz. I’m an avid fan of him since I started drinking coffee. This book perfectly describes his roller coaster journey from being in Starbucks to making it an iconic brand today. He will share how he persisted with some of his ideas and pushed on to help make Starbucks even greater. The never give up spirit inspires me!
Dearest Tessa,
This is your dad. Apparently, your dad loves to write in order to synthesize and understand things. So, he decided to dedicate a post for you!
The title of my article was inspired my Carmine Gallo’s (very) famous book – Talk like TED. He talks about how we can use our passion to inspire others, looking through the lens of a TED presentation. I hope it inspires you to discover your own passion too. I’ll use this as a baseline to discuss my thoughts and passion on what really makes my heart sing.
Growth mindset is a pretty hot topic as we move towards a complex society and also the focus on creativity these days. I attended two separate sessions on growth mindset, one was a half day workshop while the other was just a short discussion with dialogue. I must say it opened my perspective on growth mindset and what it truly means. I have compiled these understandings plus an article by Carole Dweck.
I end the journey of my MAPE(Masters of Arts in Professional Education) programme(like hopefully passing the last two modules). It’s a new journey of my learning and development (L&D)career. Some things felt familiar, some are pretty new.
Let me cover the journey that you will expect to experience.
We’re in 2018, coming to a close actually. Notice how fast the world is actually changing right before your eyes. I’ll share some insights with you from the Adult Learning Symposium which happened on 1st and 2nd November 2018.
We all know that we can’t predict what the future holds. Things in life are getting messy and blurry. I realised i can only do this much to control what’s ahead of me.
Another one of my new creations based on the Book Make Your Bed by William H. McRaven. He talked a lot about his navy seals experiences. It’s a short book that I took about a week to complete, definitely worth the read.
Learning disabilities hold special meaning to me, as I was typing away on my assignment on learning organisations and quality assurance mechanisms. The knowledge obtained spammed across two semesters during my masters programme.
My reflections aim to provide different perspective about education, learning and development and other various topics that affect learners of today. Feel free to comment or drop me an email at info@barristars.com if you have further queries.
