Making the most of the differences in the way that we learn
So here comes one of those highly controversial moments. Yes, I am going to say that we really need to embrace and make the very best of the differences in the way that we learn – just as we did without really thinking about it in the past. People really are either heads or hands. … Continue reading Making the most of the differences in the way that we learn
Tech and the HR/Recruitment Industry has a role in the Social Mobility issue
