Striving to Inspire – VDC Conference Reflection By Hugh Guthrie https://proactivetraining.com.au/news/2024/08/27/striving-to-inspire-vdc-conference-reflection-by-hugh-guthrie/ Tue, 27 Aug 2024 22:00:49 +0000 https://proactivetraining.com.au/news/?p=8968 VDC held its annual VET National Teaching & Learning Conference at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on 15 and 16 August. It proved to be largest and (arguably) best yet, with the theme at this sold-out event “From Competence to Excellence – Strive to Inspire” resonating throughout the program. There were some exceptional keynote presentations and other sessions over the two days, and I’ll highlight a few here, and then focus in on others in subsequent issues of VDC News.

Focussing on futures, passion, trust and leadership https://proactivetraining.com.au/news/2024/08/27/focussing-on-futures-passion-trust-and-leadership/ Tue, 27 Aug 2024 21:57:39 +0000 https://proactivetraining.com.au/news/?p=8970 In the first foray into the nitty gritty of the VDC VET National Teaching & Learning Conference, we are featuring presentations by Dr Ben Hamer and Vicki Abraham.

Speaker 1

Ben is a Futurist and an Adjunct Professor at Edith Cowan University. In his keynote presentation (“Everything, everywhere, all at once”) he focused on the faster and faster pace of change, and how – as a result – we can get stuck in negative thought loops (How can things go wrong?). However, he thinks it’s better to think about how things could go right.
