• What hope, the individual, drowning in a deluge of content?

    I’ve been blogging on and off since at least 2005 in various forms or another, on many different platforms. This one is now 5 years old 🥳 (cue celebratory badge). The death knell for blogging has been tolled many times since. Social media and always on access through mobile phones have led to massive proliferation…


  • MoodBoards – Agency

    As I mentioned in the Story on Instagram I added these DanedlDoodle’s to, I titled them Agency because I was feeling like a designer with the first piece which could be seen as logo work. Some of the others too. Just some fun over the holidays 🎨 Created with the Paper App by WeTransfer.


  • InnerVentures in a doodle

    I’ve taken a short break from work and as you do when you have time, I’ve been thinking. For one, about this site, it’s activities and it’s purpose. I thought I would try and capture it in this doodle (DanelDoodle actually), which is in itself a function of many aspects of this site and my…


  • Writing skills for remote asynchronous work and how you can master them

  • Trying too hard and the art of letting go

    Going with the flow has become a bit of a cliche but there is truth to it. One of it’s establishing principles is letting go. Another way of looking at it, as the philosophy of Wu Wei does, is as “effortless doing” or “action without action”. Especially in these Corona Times where we have limited…

  • How to respond to global challenges mindfully and the 3 stakeholders in success

    The title of this post is hopefully not too oblique and its clear I’m referring in part, to the challenge of our time – COVID-19. And when I say mindfully, my principle context is the practice of meditation, where paying attention is key. By paying attention you become more aware. You become more concentrated and…
