One year ago I started shipping weekly newsletters. I was inspired to do so by my friend Joachim Baan and local startup hero Nalden.
Back then, I was also writing about The Importance of Being Dropped and 6 months into working for myself again for the first time since 2009.
Now a year older & wiser I really see the return in spending time each week to share experiences, ideas and interesting content. Proud to say we're now featured on Revue's explore page: getrevue.co/explore
We're now up to nearly 1k subscribers! Â Please help us celebrate by tweeting this or hitting the FB share at the bottom! : )
Now more than ever, thank you for reading!

If You’re Not Helping Employees Learn, You’re Not Doing Your Job
"For starters, workplace learnability is far less structured and formulaic than college learnability, and employees must juggle the tension between the demand for the short-term efficiencies of productivity with the long-term quest for intellectual growth."
