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!

Kevin Rudd declines $1m paycheck - yes but!

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has rejected a call for his salary to be tripled to $1 million.

Nationals Senate leader Barnaby Joyce made the call after the Remuneration Tribunal this week recommended a three per cent pay rise for MPs and senior public servants, a rise the Government has accepted.
Senator Joyce said it was a commercial reality that the highest officeholders should be "within sight" of the sort of money someone in business is paid for running a similar sized company.

One would be curious as to "how rubust" was his No! ;)

And of course, not forgetting that he, and all his fellow parliamentarians DO receive a pay rise! 3 percent of $300,000 is still a nice bonus!
