 Dave Wilkins : The Social Learner |
 From Human Resources to Human WE-sources
How often do you quantify and reflect upon your personal
philosophy? My guess is not very

consider and proactively define our core philosophy and principles, we often

Social Media, Politics and Election 2.0
How’s that for a title? So, let me preface this post by saying that I’m a Ron Paul supporter. What

So a few days back I wrote about my new love for Twitter
and how I think Twitter could be used to re-imagine aspects of training
and development. There was a lot more I wanted to write, but in case

Notes from Day 2 of the Dev Learn show
I Twittered two sessions today: one by Paul Saffo
(the keynote) and one by a first-time presenter. Interesting
contrast. I had never heard of Paul prior to this, but this is one
