Send Leanne a messageBonus episode coming to you this week. I was invited onto The Morning Kick, a morning huddle hosted by Andrew Pitchford and the team from Excite Media. Last week, I posted on LinkedIn about the double-mindedness we can all go through trying to be authentic at this time and how to be present, real, but have empathy while still being about the business.  How many plates are we spinning when we turn up online?  Join Andrew and I as we discuss how to show up as a business owner on social during this time.  If you like the format of this conversation, you can join their morning huddles by joining their FB group called Business Thrival Mastermind.

Send Leanne a messageToday’s guest in Matthew Mason, the Chief Learning Architect at Superb Learning, an innovative content development and training business focused on better training, better outcomes by working with organisations to develop modern and creative learning solutions.  We recorded this interview pre-covid however it could not come at a more relevant time, particularly as we talk about how to move our face to face workshop events online, the importance of creating community, and Matthew also shares helpful tools you can use to create online learning and more importantly, keep people engaged. Matthew is recognised both as a Certified Online Learning Facilitator and Certified Learning Professional for the Asia Pacific Institute for Learning & Performance (ILP). This year I’ve volunteered as a Queensland Regional Advocate for the ILP so I’ve seen Matthew a few times around the digs there this year.  He’s also the co-director of the Certified Learning Institute providing learning professionals with practical, actionable and relevant training to keep them ahead of the curve AND a director of Reality Creators, an innovative learning and development company, specialising in the development of immersive learning experiences. Through the use of Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 360 degree videos and interactive videos Reality Creators creates engaging and cutting edge learning resources.
