What can I do to improve my blog?





Thank you for taking a moment to browse here.

On this day last year I was forced to take a sabbatical from our children's radio mission.
As part of my rehabilitation and a way to get my brain recharged I was encouraged to write again.
It has been a tremendous challenge and one that I have taken on with vigour and a new lease of life.

How can I improve the blog experience? The best thing I can is ask YOU !

What would you like to see more or less of on my blog? Your opinion is important to me.

Would you like to read more about the radio experience?

What can I do to improve the Hydrocephalus awareness blog?

Why does it take a near death experience to appreciate this amazing thing called LIFE

On this day 2 years ago Drs told me some stuff that we generally do not get to be told every day. As my physical condition worsened by the day and eventually by the hour I found myself appreciating just how precious and how short life is.

Yeah sure we hear this kind of thing in passing whether  hearing it in conversation or whatever it may be but why is it that so many of us continue to take so much in life for granted?

I have mentioned the overwhelming sense of calm that I experienced during my worst days of that time in my life. Accepting that life could end at any moment is really quite a remarkable experience and is most definitely worth sharing with others.

Why do we spend so much time thinking about such trivial crap of everyday life?

Why did I survive to live another day when so many others do not?

There are so many questions that I have been left to ask  that I believe it is time to gather those thoughts and write them in the form of a book.

In the today's incredibly fast pace of life with everyone being expected to be connected 24 hours per day 7 days per week via mobile phones and social media it is no surprise that we have lost our way in the world and so many of us have seemingly forgotten what is really important to us.

Take a moment today to reflect on what really matters to you.

My first video message of 2018




I want to help you succeed as I get back in to the driving seat of work life.

The future is going to be a tremendous challenge for jobseekers as A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) takes centre stage and takes jobs.

Your ability to communicate will be key to your success.

Artificial Intelligence has been the number 1 topic for Government summits in Davos and Dubai and is making headlines around the world every day.

The global impact on jobs of the future has taken a seismic shift and this subject should be the topic of conversation in households the world over.

Are you ready for the robots?





World Radio Day - February 13th.




http://www.un.org/en/events/radioday/index.shtml


Today we celebrate World Radio Day




I would like to wish you all a very special day as we recognise this wonderful media platform, I would even go so far to say that Radio is the original Social Media Platform.


Many decades ago families would gather and sit by he 'wireless' and listen to the public information being broadcast as shown in a getty image below, it may have been a news programme or something of light entertainment. Radio has been the Go To for information for generations.


I have been blessed to work in the radio world for 25 years and I look forward to contributing more in the years ahead.



HAPPY 'WORLD RADIO DAY'
