Weekly newsletter #115
The best of what I've read this week, about operations, training and education, communication, and more
Hello!
My first week of full-time work at the university is really testing my time planning/calendar blocking/math skills! :) I managed to log 40 hours and also finished half of the first instructional design master’s class, so that is a win! I am enjoying seeing the other side of the university, the student experience of submitting assignments, along with the general learning.
I still have some more polishing and practicing to do for my RevOpsAF conference slides, so that is the focus for the little time left over for my own business this coming week.
Onto the curated resources!
