Me and my profession

As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

Specialties:

Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!

A personal message to Bill Shorten - Federal Member for Maribyrnong and Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children's Services #ausvotes

Bill-shorten-6109965

Dear Bill

It is always good to see the Federal Government bring to the media spotlight any issues in relation to disability services, even if it is part of the Labor party election campaign.

It is also great to see the event where promises by political parties involve the people that are most impacted by the election promises.

I was also glad to see the spoken words being signed to those in the audience with hearing impairment.

It was disappointing though, to hear you SHOUTING your speech into the microphone. Its a little bit "not right" Bill. Trust me, the people with full hearing loss are not going to hear your words, no matter how loudly you shout.

I guess that is why you are the Parliamentary Secretary, rather than the Minister.

Kind regards,

Sylvestor
