One of my friends is an consultant urologist and she’s asked me and others to share this. She and her colleagues are seeing a lot damage done to young people who are using Ketamine.

Looking forward to Day 2 of #DAICC - more on the intersection of coaching and AI, promises to be an insightful day!

I enjoyed the guys from Olivier Mythodrama™ and their use of Shakespeare's Henry V's in coaching! Really engaging!

There was also a very interesting panel discussion chaired by Prof. Dr. Sandra Julia Diller around the AI and human hybrid approach in coaching, great perspectives.

Quite the morning at #DAICC! A great opening session from Sam Isaacson on The future and present of coaching with technology - I loved Sam's sentience measuring - Ai has about the same level as a plant at the moment, but the sentience level is moving very quickly! @trainingjournal.bsky.social

As an L&D Professional, it's so interesting to see the intersect of traditional personal development methods and how AI can further support and complement the work of coaches, less replacement, more synergy and enhancement. #DAICC

I am looking forward to be blogging for the next couple of days for @trainingjournal.bsky.social for the #DigitalAndAICoachesConference or #DAICC for short!

I watched Nuremberg today. An extremely relevant cautionary tale from history about the dangers of fascism, how easily it can take in hold of a population & dehumanise those perceived as “enemies”, but are really just scapegoats to drive a convenient narrative. #Nuremberg #Fascism

Your team is using AI, but are your prompts letting you down? - AI use in L&D is rising fast, but prompt quality often lags behind. Poor inputs lead to weak outputs, wasted time and reduced learner trust. Drawing on the testing methodologies of verification and va...

Government launches national conversation on SEND Government acts on commitment to put parents’ experiences at the heart of SEND reform through new public engagement campaign.

As a Primary (Junior) school governor, I cannot welcome this consultation enough. Long overdue. Consistent SEND support and provision remains an issue, particularly after years of underfunding.

It is settling!

Genius!

This is the nub of it. They are more worried about giving Farage more oxygen than about what is good for the UK. The best way to silence Farage is to destroy his arguments and make a lot of publicity of the benefits of doing so. Give potential Reform voters evidence that his way is NOT best.

I have a feeling someone may need this today.

This is a time that will try all our souls. We must let our friends & family know we see them, we value them & we will stand up to protect everyone’s right to be themselves.

Just in case anyone wasn’t clear enough on whether that was a nazi salute…

I’ve minimised my FB use and I’d love to leave altogether, but I’ve had to still pay the occasional visit as my board games and rail user groups are both on there, hard to get them to move to a different platform, especially with hundreds of members on each. Any suggestions (aside from “leave”)?
