The study timetable gets ditched way too often

The firs secret of learning is: Build your timetable in reverse. By this I mean, place the times and dates in to your schedule when you are NOT going to have time to study. Then, build your timetable around those 'exclusion zones'. In this way, you don't have to stop socialising or de-stressing via other activities. You can still watch your favourite shows and have time every day for other things you love doing.

Managers have a lot on their plate

From day-to-day tasks to urgent, pressing conflicts, the best managers calmly resolve issues and listen to client concerns without breaking a sweat. You may think it’s impossible to manage your house, your work, yourself and your children.

You are being judged. How to make a good first impression?

Before you state your credentials, hand over your CV or sit down in the conference room chair, your abilities are being assessed. Research has shown that within one tenth of a second, your likeability, competence, trustworthiness and aggressiveness are being evaluated.

Interviews can be an intense and artificial way of measuring whether you will be a good fit for a role... so it's important to learn how to put your best foot forward in the process and increase your chances of getting hired.

Why is it that we are still discussing why women are not more highly represented in higher management and leadership roles? It is really time to move past a conversation that has been happening for a good 10 years – that I can remember. Enough! Time for women in leadership roles to take matters into their own hands and to be totally proactive in setting the tone and the pace for their careers.

We’re reading more than ever before on screens. From news to learning resources, text delivery over the web is not only allows information to be shared quickly, but to be searched, dug out, and consumed so easily. Even this very piece is yet another example of online text.

Managing all these varied sources can get complicated, however. There’s Pocket for saving webpages for later. Evernote for clipping segments of a page. And RSS readers like Feedly which allow you to constantly check in on regularly-updated content like news.
