Once upon a time, before Instagram existed, I ran a blog about lipsticks for 5 years. Yep, that’s right - you heard me. Lipstick!! It was called Beauty Swatch, and my tag line was “helping you find your way through the lipstick jungle”. When I started, I went from not knowing a single thing about blogging let alone how to create a media release or work with PR. I started blogging because I wanted to learn about social media and how it can be used to influence consumer purchasing decisions. Fast forward 5 years later, my blog won awards in the beauty journalism industry (back in the day when blogging actually involved writing rather than a pretty Instagram feed), it was featured on Forbes.com, fashion magazines like InStyle USA and I won an award for best blogger collaboration with Clinique and Mecca Maxima - an iconic beauty retailer in Australia. It will be 10 years ago since I started the blog, and it's for the same reason I'm podcasting now - as a way to build skills to add to my talent stack. If you’re curious to find out more about what I’ve learned about building a brand online, then join me as I share a trip down memory lane and how I now approach branding differently.

Quotes
Peter Senge - The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of a Learning Organisation
"Sharing knowledge is not about giving people something, or getting something from them. That is only valid for information sharing. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating learning processes."

There are 4 modules within the Learning from the Daily Work component of the programme, comprising of:
- The modern manager.
- The modern worker.
- Reflective practices
- And lastly Knowledge sharing.
Today’s episode is about the Modern Manager.
If your employees aren't learning, you're not leading. There's a strong positive relationship between how much people learn on the job, and how much they love their job.
Modern managers play a key role in building a successful continuous learning environment, and in this unit Jane explores topics such as understanding motivation at work, how to foster flexibility, growth mindset, how to be more of a coach than a boss.
