In August/September of last year I took a brief contract working with WorldSkills TV.  The reason I found out about the position was because of my good friend, Geoff Schoenberg.  He was working in the volunteer department, noticed the job posting, and sent it over my way.  Since that time he’s embarked on a new adventure to get his Masters Degree in Australia and to document his progress he’s started up a blog.

The website is in its infancy and I’ve enjoyed reading his variety of posts.  As someone who has no ambition to go after a post-secondary education (sorry Mom), it’s fascinating to learn more about that world and his experiences.  I recommend you take a look and, if you like what you see, subscribe to it.

One post in particular that was published last week was a list of things that he learned working under his supervisor at WorldSkills Calgary.  (Granted: it’s probably not an exhaustive list, just the highlights.)  I think that these lessons are important for everyone, regardless of your career or specific goals.

You can read “Things I learned from Mo at WorldSkills Calgary 2009″ on his site by clicking here.  I know that I took away a couple of thoughts from it and hope that you do as well.

Keep up the great work Geoff!  I can’t wait to read more about your experiences down under.
