Thought I'd check-in and give you all a quick status update on what I've been up to:
As you may know, I recently started with Kineo as the VP of Learning Design.
As with any new job, there are a lot of transitions to navigate. I'm in that beginner-mind zone. Although I've been doing this work for 15ish years, the ground beneath me is shaky and I feel like I'm in new waters, navigating new people, new processes, new tools.
Traveling. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind: ASTD, client visits, seminars on Moodle/Articulate in Boston and Chicago. I'm suddenly racking up lots of frequent flyer points. Next week I'll be heading to Kineo World Headquarters in the UK for 5 days. The kids may not take it so well...
Adjusting to life as a virtual office worker. When I'm actually in town, I work from the shed.
There are a lot of great things about this arrangement: lunch breaks with the kids, secret visitors who s
py on me through the window, the occasional drum jam.Has its downsides: the occasional drum jam while I'm trying to talk on the phone, my work is my home is my work is my home, and there's no one but me to bake cookies for the office.
My blogging and tweeting has been a bit sporadic with all of this mania. I'm in scrambled egg mind mode most of the time. Will hope for a few opportunities for reflection as things unfold.
Hope you're all doing well and please take the time to comment on the blog. I enjoy the conversations immensely. I do post a lot of learning tidbits to Twitter that never make it to the blog, so join me there if you're so inclined. I'm @cammybean.

Like the new digs, Cammy--I'm actually a little jealous. My office is the third bedroom in my little row house and I like the idea of my own separate building.
Perhaps we should consider setting up a virtual worker cookie circle. One person bakes and FedExes to several others and then we take turns. @janetclarey might be willing to join us. :-)
Idea - Toes on the black keys (Gb pentatonic) during drum jam, while at work, the first true multi-tasker.
Michele, I'm totally in. Janet will be in as a recipient, no doubt, but she claims not to bake.
Howard, oh yeah! I rock while I work. It's true.
