Michelle Kaye / Mitshk – Musings of an IT Trainer

This, if you haven’t guessed, is my personal blog.

Here I share my thoughts, musings and opinions on a range of things. From training and applications to packing and health.

New blogs are posted every Tuesday and Thursday morning, and are different from blogs posted here.

Paul Matthews/ People Alchemy

I’ve been receiving and occasionally reading these weekly emails for a couple of years now.

He shares thoughts, ideas and links (to free downloads) about training, tips and experiences.

David Gibson/ Eureka-TP

I’ve been receiving David’s Tips for Trainers for at lest 20 years! They are one of the best for receiving ideas, suggestions and practical options for a trainer!

Krystyna Gadd / How to Accelerate Learning

For me a newer subscription, although still been a couple of years. I first saw the How to Accelerate Learning stand at a HRD show. As I was curious and interested in accelerated learning I wanted to find out more – and that started me receiving the free learning resources.

Krystyna shares practical tips and ideas about training and frequently includes links for things to download and keep.

Julian Stodd / Sea Salt Learning

What can I say about Julian Stodd? He’s been a speaker at a number of learning events (I first saw him at a LPI event). He is (for me) a great thinker about learning. Talking about getting ready for the ‘social age’ (as he says) in a wonderful graphic way.

He shares current thoughts, and graphics through his learning blog, which I’ve subscribed to.

His learning blog, and the subscription option can be found here: https://julianstodd.wordpress.com/about/

Andrew Jacobs / Llarn

Andrew is someone that I’ve recently started reading his daily blog posts. I’ve now subscribed, and get to read them via LinkedIn and email.

Note: As with the others, I’ve known and been friends with Andrew for years.

He shares (for me) thought provoking comments, experiences and reads. They occasionally lead into my own blog posts but always into new thoughts and realisations.

His blog is ‘Lost and Desperate’ and you can read/signup here: https://lostanddesperate.com/

Andrew is also behind Women Talking About Learning Podcast (Do you listen to these podcasts?)

Niall Gavin

Niall has just restarted blogging, sharing his thoughts and experiences.

He explains “Now an independent consultant, speaker, tweeter & blogger, I have learned, and now know, ‘a little about a lot, and a lot about very little’. I hope this blog will be of interest and stimulate some further conversations amongst us all.
