Had a great chat this morning with a HR Leader who had a fantastic idea to change the way big orgs recruit, they asked whether such an idea was even possible. 8 hours later, we have a fully functioning MVP with integrated AI and super secure data storage, it is…. awesome What a time to be alive.

Have cracked the model for measuring the impact of learning (the golden goose of L&D) Trademark pending for the ‘GROWTH Model’, not only fit for today, but for an AI driven future. Goodbye Kirkpatrick!

Saddened that it is very unlikely I will get to taste pangolin Born too late 😕

Evening before a conference when you are sitting in a hotel foyer and you overhear people talking about upskilling, but no one has their lanyard yet so the dilemma of saying ‘hello!’ Or waiting until after first day of conference when everyone is wearing their lanyards 🙂 #ltuk25 #travelodgelife

When was the last time you took a pause to think about you, what you’re doing and what you need? In this session I’m sharing an approach to help you explore the context of your work, consider where you’re at today, and map out where you need to go next. #LT25uk

With Poland bringing in military training for all adult males and a good chance of similar activity happening in he UK in the next three years, I have become acutely aware of how utterly unfit I am. I don’t want to run 5 miles with a backpack 😢

Well, that was a week. Thank goodness it’s Friday

In an interesting twist on the @nhsfife and Dr Upton tribunal case in Scotland, it turns out that human rights also apply to women. Who knew (not the DEI team it seems) 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

Ouch. Interesting to see catch-up viewing figures, but looks like people are moving on…

It’s interesting to see Ukraine, Russia, and Trump trending, But not the obvious word Kompromat 🤷🏻‍♂️

NHS Fife may have found their Scapegoat in the recent Employment Tribunal The decision to allow Dr Upton to use the Female space was made by a ‘DEI Lead’ with no background in HR, or Law, or a relevant field of study, nor any role specific training. A likely costly mistake, but a great case study

This weeks work joy “Could you bring a bit less of yourself to work” Sigh… probably not 🤷🏻‍♂️

Loving the new gadget that takes my waste food and turns it into fresh eggs, and it was only £15! I recommend that everyone should have a hen or two.

Who else is going to #lt25uk?

Had fun chatting with Ashley Hinchcliffe from MAAS Marketing 🍍 about using data in L&D If L&D teams aren't thinking like Marketeers in 2025.. I worry for them 😬

Note to self: When presenting at conferences, do not do a Nazi style salute. Always wave the hand!

Perhaps it will cheer up someone’s Saturday: youtu.be/H-XSWxPt70U?...

Boomerang employees are your secret weapon. When we source *good* boomerang candidates, they almost always interview first. As an employer, they gain outside perspective and come back stronger. As a candidate, exhibit A why you shouldn’t burn bridges.

Retirement is far too far away

Had a dream last night that I was at a dinner party, one of the dishes was cous cous ravioli Ravioli filled with cous cous I’ve googled it, it’s not yet a thing, but it was delicious.

The lesson I am taking from the footage from the LA fires… build your house out of chimney Street after street of only chimneys left standing.

This January is proving a particularly tough one to find motivation 🙈 Anyone else?

Observation When someone says “my truth” they generally mean ‘objectively, unlikely to be factually correct’

Love the marketing activity of the Roman Catholic Church Just heard on he news that there is a special door at the Vatican and if you walk through it (this year only) all sins will be absolved Expect a bumper sales year for plastic Mary’s at the gift shop Nice use of a Time Pressure Heuristic

The Harry Potter TV series can not come fast enough. I’ve just gotten round to starting game of thrones, so that might ride me over until then.

Got an X-guitar and my time between meetings has become a whole lite more pleasant

*Uses last remnants of energy to slowly crawl towards Friday…. A holiday will be welcome

Todays Christmas joy was brought by Royal Mail delivering letters for four different addresses to my home Don’t worry #royalmail, I’ll deliver them for you. Where do I send the invoice?

What L&D say: ‘we are using the Kirkpatrick model but showing impact is really hard’ What L&D mean: ‘we are using a model from a pre-computer era and don’t understand data’

What have I learned this week: •Building useful digital agents without any coding is super easy •I get terrified when I don’t have access to Alteryx •You should never bite cod liver oil capsules out of curiosity.

How many disappointed people went along to watch ‘surprise surprise’ thinking they were going to find their long lost family… only to find out they were just part of the audience 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of my favourite paintings.. I can’t find any more by the artist 😕
