A quick work update:
Since end Feb 2022, I have joined a company that focuses on soft skills - primarily Leadership, Communication, Personality Profiling, Life Skills, and Team Building incorporating bonding games, VR, and drone technology.
This is, of course, quite a change from my previous experience in Science programmes.
Nevertheless, as Science programmes have shifted from biological and chemical sciences to something more closely resembling infotech, machine learning, and AI, as well as the problems caused by the pandemic, I had to make a move.
When I first joined, I had to learn the ropes quickly as it was in the middle of a busy period.
The advantage that I had was my prior experience in programme development and execution. This allowed me to gather the information that I needed and adapt my delivery to the company’s norms and expectations.
Over the course of the past year and a half or so, I have run programmes in many more institutes of learning, as well as for corporate and government groups.
I believe that I am providing excellent value to the company, and will continue to do so.
Time, however, is never on our side, so I will have to plan my next few years more carefully than I have prior to this.
