I remember clearly being in school and being taught about learning styles. The teacher went through the model taught to her, which boiled down to auditory, visual or kinaesthetic.

The point of this mini-series is, quite simply to help you discover more about… you.

I had made the heady decision on New Years Day to book plane tickets to Japan, signalling my no-way-backing-out-now decision to leave my safety bubble that was my 9-5 job as a web designer in London. It also signalled the start of my 6-month experiment: be a Freelancer. […]
