My goodness how the time has flewn.




How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?

On Thursday 1 March I spoke at the DisruptHR Conference held in Cape Town at the cool Travelstart offices in Kloof Street Studios. The opportunity allowed me to do 2 things:   1. Reflect on my personal journey from the advertising industry to product design, and   2. Practice public speaking (once more, after a hiatus of, say, a few years).   If you’re unfamiliar, the DisruptHR format reminds me of PechaKucha in that it’s focused, timed and self running.

Last week I was laid off. On Wednesday last week, I was told that my job was no longer necessary. I guess the truth of the matter is that my position was made redundant.

In situations like this, I like to remember that ‘if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.’ This is something that Dr Wayne Dyer enjoyed saying. And I often reflect on it. For example; instead of thinking I’m no longer relevant, I can take this opportunity and find the ne...
