What we've learned after over 40 years as a media ministry.

More stories like this in the news please!

Christmas might be just around the corner, but it's clear that we're far from the end. Rather than being a few weeks out from that warm and fuzzy period where the higher ed world goes quiet for a bit, it feels more like entering the eye of a cyclone... a brief moment of calm before the chaos resumes. Over the past few weeks there have been some important news stories: the ESOS legislation failing to get through the Senate, the closure of a number of providers (which is a nuanced story in itself), and the breaking news the changes to Ministerial Directive 107 might be in the works. Dirk Mulder (Editor, The Koala News) and Rob Malicki (The Global Society) sit down for one of the last times in 2024 to bring you up to date on all the major news stories across the sector... and it's a big end to the year. This episode is brought to you by Choosing Your Uni⁠ (choosingyouruni.com), the platform that's changing the way that students research and choose their university.

Dr Reid, Very cool. As a YouTube creator, artist, dancer ( other than somewhat boring ai stuff and investing...) I feel threatened by your posts. I really don't have enormous computing power and AI resources which obviously you or others like you have. So I am thinking how should I evolve as an artist, comedian and dancer... How to combine AI with my creative prowess to make something very unique? I am sure I am not alone. I hope you will offer some guidance at some point. Thanks Best regards Arnab #artist #actor #comedian #dancer #artificialintelligence #ai

"If in doubt, shut up and listen". Just had to share this amazing webcast by Mike, who’s spent 50 years as a Samaritan, saving lives by simply being there on the other end of the phone. His stories and wisdom on the power of listening are incredibly moving and relevant. A lot of lessons in here that anyone can take into their day-to-day life, including work. Are we, as a generation, worse at communicating now that face-to-face interactions have been limited because of the rise of social technology? It's something worth pondering. A great listen, articulated incredibly well. Mike's experiences remind us all of the profound impact we can have on others just by offering a calm, non-judgmental space to talk. Listen to understand. Don't listen to talk. Take a moment to listen to this. It might change the way you think about communication and connection.

Appreciate freely, without holding back. It doesn’t always have to be for something monumental. Acknowledge even the small gestures, like when a colleague holds the lift doors open while your hands are full of files. These everyday moments deserve more than just a quick "thank you." Go beyond words. Your simple #appreciation can change someone’s mindset, uplifting them in ways you can’t imagine. For example, a simple appreciation email from a student brought a smile and a sense of fulfillment to a teacher's life. That small act of #gratitude, without any expectation, inspired many when shared on an episode of "The Oprah Show" (https://lnkd.in/guR_7G5y). Appreciation can do wonders - - They can elevate someone's spirit: Your kind words could make their day and boost their confidence. - Create a ripple effect: When people feel valued, they’re more likely to spread kindness, passing it on to others. Be the first to appreciate it. You never know how your words could change someone’s life, or even inspire them to change the world. Thank you, Rajkumar Tennyson, your appreciation inspired me to write this post. P.S. The video snippet from "The #Oprah Show" will indeed make your day, filling it with a sense of gratitude that comes from true appreciation. Keep spreading those #positive_vibes!
