Niall Jones kindly invited me to speak at the Peer Space about my Resilient Kidsmovement, and ways we can bolster our children’s resilience.

At the start of the talk, I said —

My mission is to give kids VISION, VITALITY & VOICE and in this talk I will share what that really means and demonstrate how that builds children up to be more confident in themselves and competent in life.

As I am an ambassador for Thortspace I felt it would be a good idea to map out my ideas beforehand. I was also very inspired by Dee Bosworth giving this a go recently too!

I made the journey below, if you click on the orange “thorts” they take you to some other useful links too -

Here is the talk

I’ll be speaking about Resilient Kids again and my contribution to a book called “Meanings Over Milestones” at the Burpham Wellfest on Sunday, August 22nd.

Also, September is the next Random Dialogues speaking event. These talks are for up to 6 minutes — Preach what you preach! Shout your Shout! Got a rant? Speak your Passion! Have a go here…Whilst the Peer space is focused on YOU for almost the hour. Perhaps you have a message you’d like to share, so come and join us at one or both?

Warmly

Jane

By the way, I just brought a copy of “Our Time To RISE” written by business experts Steve Pipe and Paul Dunn — one of the founders of the B1G1 global initiative — about how businesses can make a difference and improve the lives of so many around the world through impact giving. The book has a forward from the wonderful team at WhatWeWant, and as a result of my purchase …

"WhatWeWant just planted two trees for both your contributions and we have also donated to the 'Provide Access to a Toilet' programme for families in Malawi through B1G1".

You can take a peek at how I’m weaving in WhatWeWant with my Resilient Kids passion project here.
