It is with a sad heart that I receive the news today of the passing of Jacqui. Jacqui brought a new kind of life to the Reception of WorkSafe and anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting, talking, sharing with Jacqui would have to agree, we have lost a special person this past weekend.


Jacqui suffered a lot, but her suffering was not so obvious, what was obvious was her wit, her heart, her love of people and people she cared for. While our hearts grieve - our minds must know that there is no more suffering, there is no more pain and the wisdom and words that Jacqui shared will always be a part of those in her life.


I won't cry, I won't be too sad, I will stop, reflect and laugh. I will remember the comments as I would pass by reception, the endless witticisms and criticisms, the genuine laughter and caring. If I shed a tear, it will be coated in fond memories. It will be a tribute. 


We will miss you Jacqui. I will certainly miss you. Vale Jacqueline Willis.

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!
