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.

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.

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!

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.
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 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.
You must be thinking about the academic aspects of gratitude as you read this post. it’s not really one, I’m here to show you my journey after a year thinking hard about it.
Dear Son,
