Feeling a tad outdated at work?

The Mind Lab

There is nothing worse than that sneaking suspicion that you are past your sell-by date at work. There is a point at which quirky and clueless is less fun and more embarrassing.

There is nothing worse than that sneaking suspicion that you are past your sell-by date at work. There is a point at which quirky and clueless is less fun and more embarrassing.

There really is no reason to feel this way if the issue is not being digitally literate. Digital Skills for the Workplace, offered by The Mind Lab, is fun, it really is, and it’s not a bunch of “how to” steps that you need to follow once you’re back at work and pray that it works - you actually use the tools without being aware that you are learning the tool.
You experience the impact of the skill while using it and playing so it’s already part of your DNA by the time you get back to work.

That’s a secret Mind Lab formula by the way!
And its professional development (tick that box!)

I will need someone to help me clean and scrub the property for tenants who are moving in after the weekend. Must be fastidious, super fast and have good attention to detail. It may be that settlement is late therefore it would be first thing on Saturday morning. I can't be too sure yet. Would need own car. Anyone keen? Please text me for more details on 021 045 3347. Many thanks Michelle.
