Monthly highlights: January 2010

Posted on February 4th, 2010 by Sacha Chua

What a great start to the year! A vacation to Siargao gave me a chance to get to know my family better. I brought my cat on the return flight (that was quite an adventure!). It took me a while to recover from jet lag and a sore throat, but it was good to get back on track at work. W- and I formalized our engagement, and our parents have been helping us plan the wedding (August!). I bought a new point-and-shoot camera so that I can take more pictures. What a month indeed!

Here are some of my favourite blog posts from January 2010:

Agendas – in which I share the agenda for the formalization of our engagement
What I want to talk about in 2010
Facilitation: Thinking about the ends and means

Useful work-related stuff:

Lightweight personas for ideation workshops – in which I share a lot of work-related lessons learned
Braindump: Social media advice for events
Getting started on your web presence
Microblogging talk – something that fits in 7 minutes
