Introduction	I'm a learning and development specialist who is still working things out. My blog is titled 'learning to fly' because I want to learn more than what I know. I write this blog for two reasons. The first is to practice my writing. While completing my masters thesis I took nearly 6 months just learning to write properly. I’d like to keep this up. My second reason for writing this is to poke things up a bit with a big sharp proverbial stick. I’d like to challenge, provoke and discuss some of the traditional and emergent perceptions of human resources and management practices. In no way do the views that I express here reflect my employer or anyone else I work with or for. I don’t claim to know everything or anything. In my opinion, ignorance is bliss. Sometimes, if we fully know what we are getting ourselves into we may not do it. I like asking why? Why not? Why don’t we try it this way? Or, indeed, saying things that others might consider politically incorrect. Throughout this blog I will review books and resources, argue some of my ideas around current HR practices, and propose new HR practices as food for thought.
Interests	Coaching, performance reviews, learning and development.
