Effective communication is key in any field regardless of your audience’s initial engagement level and "a picture is worth a thousand words." Whether you’re presenting data, explaining complex concepts, or trying to make an impactful statement - consider going visual! #Communication #DataVisualization #Engagement #LearningStyles #EffectiveCommunication

OK, disclaimer first - I have just spent 12 months away from the industry but have I missed something? I feel like there was a genuine opportunity to achieve serious planning, development, economic, social and infrastructure reform. Instead, we have: - new policies encouraging more apartment developments that don’t even come close to stacking up financially (see Maxwell Shifman’s excellent commentary in The Age today); - even more infrastructure contributions for developers to pay (because there is apparently still some gold left in the goose); and - a supposed improvement to land supply which does nothing to address Victoria’s critical need to streamline the planning system, provide more housing, reduce homelessness and inequality, improve affordability, stimulate economic growth and perhaps start to pay down our state debt and interest bill. Or have I really missed something? More than happy to be corrected but I was certainly hoping for something more…

Not just in marketing... It's essential to know what you want in detail in order to focus on the strategy you want to implement. #Marketing #Strategy #GoalReach #Lifegoals

This is such an important point to make - AI-generated content may be innovative, but the content needs to be verified and edited by a human. If the quality of the writing is poor, it'll be a waste of time and will negatively impact your search engine rankings. AI tools are meant to be an enabler, not a replacement - use it, but use it wisely!

This is great news. Having more and more conversations with all ages and genders about trauma. It happens in childhood and adulthood and we bring it into the workplace whether we like it or not and invariably with dignity. However it does make us more vulnerable to organisational wellbeing models such as Effort/Reward Imbalance, Job Demand Control and Organisational Injustice which is why leaders more than ever need to become Trauma Informed.

This post let me ponder a lot on #equality ... and as great as this initiative is, there are plenty of men as domestic violence victims in a similar situations who would need this kind of support. So what about the men? Let the statistics below sink in: Summary/Overarching Statistics (Up to Date) The latest Office for National Statistics figures (2022/23) show that one in three victims of domestic abuse are male equating to 751,000 men (3.2%) and 1.38 million women (5.7%). From this, 483,000 men and 964,000 women are victims of partner abuse. (ONS 2022/23). One in seven men (13.9%) and one in four women (27%) will be a victim of domestic abuse in their lifetime (ONS figures 2022/23). Of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police, 25% were committed against men (ManKind Initiative). Only 4.8% of victims of domestic abuse being supporting by local domestic services are men according to SafeLives data. This highlights how few men are being supported for local domestic abuse services (ONS 2022/23). 58.9% of the men who call the ManKind Initiative helpline have never spoken to anyone before about the abuse they are suffering and 64% would not have called if the helpline was not anonymous (ManKind Initiative). #she4him #mensmentalhealth #UK #mentalhealthuk
