November is flying by at a pace, the holiday season is quickly looming and the temperatures are rising.

We’ve been busy here at Zedu Learning HQ catching up on delivering courses delayed over lockdown – everyone has been itching to get some face-to-face and hands on time. So much so we’ve been going home late as nobody wants to leave!

This week there are some interesting stories – one from the BBC last night regarding entertainment scans. This is a situation that is not unique to the UK and we’d be interested to hear your thoughts – you can have a chat on Twitter. Nice stuff too from our pal @srrezaie at RebelEM, and of course the obligatory cute pregnant animal story…

Enjoy and see you soon.

P.S. – This month’s #coachingcorner was a load of fun with the team from ProbeLogic – join our community of clever and catch up with recordings of the previous sessions – available for you free any time.
