Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy, Training & development

One Hundred Free Books
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Training & development
It wasn’t so long ago, that if for some arcane reason I wanted to know the temperature in Mumbai, as a kid I’d have had to hope onto my trusty, rusty blue bike, pedal up the hill & around several corners to arrive at the local library. Pulling open the heavy door, I’d have had […]

Sisi ni Amani means We are Peace in Swahili- tidbits from this group’s recent retreat

Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy, Training & development
When it comes to learning, the curve can be steep, steep like a staircase. Sometimes it just takes a little demo to nudge us from ‘I don’t want to go there’ to ‘oh, I get it!’ Like the big dog showing the orphaned pup below. Who knew going downstairs could be so tough? At least […]

If you think education is expensive try ignorance
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Training & development
I snapped this picture of a bumper sticker. Love it. It speaks volumes. Education costs. It costs time. It costs money. More importantly it costs your self-image because education means making oneself vulnerable, opening up to new information, new ways of looking at old pictures. Education means taking risks. Education means knowing you don’t know it […]

A ludicrously easy, perspective changing way to better tie your shoes
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness, Training & development
How long have you been tying your shoes? Me – I remember knocking on a neighbours door and then realizing my shoelace was untied. For the first time I tied my shoes all on my own. I was so excited I ran home to tell my home, forgetting about the door I’d just knocked on. […]
