Is it Really 2010!
Hello and thanks for visiting! The very best as the year evolves.
I posted a photo a day on Flickr for 2009 and the results are there for you to see. Track my progress here. Not something I want to repeat as the daily burden was hard to sustain. So this year a photo or two from all the places I visit.
I am always being asked to define what I am doing now. So this is a response that I hope is helpful.
Nigel Paine: Strategic Adviser on Leadership and Talent Development
Nigel Paine is a great communicator and profound thinker about what makes contemporary workspaces tick and what businesses need to do to survive in the C21st. He specialises in developing leaders; building learning organisations; getting the best out of staff; and developing strategies for retention and development of key people within organisations. He is a coach, mentor, writer, broadcaster and keynote speaker of international acclaim. He is currently working in Europe, Brazil, the US and Australia on a variety of assignments, that hinge around making work more creative, innovative and aspirational and making workplaces more conversational, team-based and knowledge sharing.
On a more personal level, here is are some of the other things I do in my life. I have been away in the far north west of Western Australia where the road runs out! Some photos are posted here. Also stayed for a week in the Red Centre of Australia. An amazing and remote place. Stayed in the first hotel for years where there was NO internet access at all. Also, went on a 6 day trek in Tasmania to walk the Overland Track! (check out the photos). Hence that one week of silence because where we went, no road or mobile signal got near.

Find out more about 
the Learning Leaders Academy which Elliott Masie and I ran 10th - 12th March 2008 and will repeat in April 2010.
I was in Orlando with Elliott Masie in October doing some sessions at Learning 2007, Learning 2008 and Learning 2009. The post conference Learning Wiki is a model of how to capture learning before during and after the event. It is a great online resource worth exploring.
Previously the entire conference was recorded on video, photos and text and the resulting website is a mine of brilliant information. It is a model that we should all follow. Big temperature change from Lithuania. See below. Log on to the Masie Site there is always something new and interesting.
I followed my boxes (see the blog) to Australia in May 2007 love the place, and one of the first things I did after arriving in Australia was run a series of workshops across the country on Leading Innovation with a Colleague John Mitchell.He is one of the best known and most respected vocational education practitioners in Australia. If you want to see what went on, download the brochure from here if you would like more details. The series finished in Perth in 25th June 2006
There is a book to go with the series too, called New Leadership for Innovative Organisations . It is on sale on the IBSA website for $24.95 AUD
I was in Lithuania
in February 2007 working with small companies that want to expand internationally. As you can see it was quite cold. That is the main railway station in Vilnius and I am rather hoping that the train will arrive soon. When it did the windows were taped shut and the heaters only just managed to penetrate the cold interior. I had a third class ticket (£2 for 100 km) and I now know what third class rail travel is all about. Slow and cold but not uncomfortable.
I was talking about C21st Learning and I thought it would be good to try and stir things up a bit with some discussion points here. Also,this article I wrote for HR Magazine in December is useful background.
