CAYPAKS

I spent Monday and Tuesday in Perth volunteering at a conference called CAYPAKS (Children and Young People are Key Stakeholders). Click on the image to go to the website. It was an awesome experience! I met tonnes of interesting people who work with children and youth, and some very switched-on young people. It was a fantasitc positive forum.

The best thing for me was hearing Andrew Fuller speak yesterday afternoon. He was inspiring, entertaining and refreshing.

He said we should eliminate "busy" and "not bad" from our conversations when someone asks how we are.

He also said we are what we notice. (And lots of other things which I'm sure I'll mention later because I was so inspired.)
