You can help me by sharing your thoughts, wishes and needs, so I can include them in upcoming episodes. What topic is high on your agenda these days? What kinds of resources do you appreciate the most? Remember that the Learning Notes are only relevant and meaningful for us to continue if they are relevant and meaningful for you.
