As far as my personal observations go children’s curiosity and tech-savviness are reshaping how they learn and process information, necessitating a balance between quick access to facts and fostering essential thinking skills. This trend prompts educators and parents to navigate digital resources wisely while ensuring holistic learning for well-rounded development. While the immediate benefits of such fact-checking behaviors are apparent, this trend prompts reflection on the potential long-term consequences. The reliance on digital fact-checking may inadvertently cultivate a mode of learning that places more emphasis on surface-level verification rather than critical comprehension. The digital landscape, characterized by its rapidity and fragmentation of information, could potentially hinder the development of sustained attention, deep analysis, and critical thinking skills that are traditionally nurtured through sustained engagement with printed materials and physical environments.

We recently had Trash Arts visit us at our TYC HQ in Fort Widley to dicuss 2 opportunities to work together that will, in turn benefit and provide quality opportunities for the Young Creatives of Portsmouth. What I liked about Sam and Jackson was that - they came out to our HQ to dicuss this. They could have asked to meet for a coffee in a cafe (we get countless lovely requests for this each week). Trash Arts wanted to see where we worked from and what we do. This is great business and had me in a positive mindset about them as a company, before they even arrived to pitch their projects. Controversly, I don't like coffee and coming from a no income start in life and running a not-for- profit, I can't help but begrudge spending what equates to a lot of money a year on parking and drinks plus loosing 1 to 2 hours out of the day. Importantly, I got to show Sam and Jackon around the space where our young creatives make the magic happen. And they got a real feel for who we are and what we do. It turns out that I believe we may be coming from a similar place when you look at what we do and why within our home cities. I am happy to be working together. ** Please note - I would have happily met them at their own place of work for the same reasons. This is not a moan about me having to travel to network and connect, it's just an understanding of why, when you are working at grassroots level with community projects and not for profits, sometimes it may be better to consider going out to see where it happens or inviting them to you, over meeting in a Costa for a coffee 😉 https://lnkd.in/egMx4Rgf

Anybody else have a theme song? Rachel Platten’s ‘Fight Song’ is mine. “This is MY fight song Take back my life song Prove I'm alright song My power's turned on” song If you pull up beside my Landcruiser on any given day, chances are you’ll see me tapping away on my steering wheel and singing along like nobody’s watching and Barney on the front seat giving me the ‘calm down’ eye. But I just tell him ..."Barney, we all have to fight for something we want in our lifetime or something we believe in." Not that he'd know that! ...lol When I made this video recently for a speaking engagement, it gave me the chance to reflect on all I've fought to achieve so far. Something about this song and these visuals that reignities that fire in my belly to keep progressing my vision and my platform, to help the ag industry to be loud and proud of what we do. In my experience the voices … in our heads and in our ears …. that say we can’t, or that it’s too hard, or it's no use, are WRONG. Thinkin I'll turn up the volume, drown them out and dance! #agrishots #fightsong #rachelplatten #WIAtoday #womenwholead #womeninag #photolibrary #agribusinessmarketing #videolibrary #agricultureimages #visualmarketing

Ladies, it's important to make a strong and positive impact when you finally have the opportunity to be at that table. Strive to be recognized for your expertise and contributions rather than just being a token presence. It's all about making your voice heard and bringing valuable insights to the discussions. Another great lesson to take away from one of my favourite movies "Hidden Figures"! An inspiring movie based on a true story about breaking barriers and making a difference. #corprategovernance #womanonboards #tokenism #boarddynamics #genderdiversity
