Participant testimonials mean a lot to us at CCE. So we were thrilled to receive this glowing review from Juanita Phillips, eminent journalist, speaker and author, now the host of a luxury tour firm. In Juanita’s words: "The best piece of practical advice I received when I stopped full-time work came from my friend and former ABC colleague, Sophie Scott OAM. 'Do some social media courses,' she said. 'Whatever you end up doing, you need to be on it.' “One of courses I found most valuable was Social Media Marketing with Heather Porter, at the Centre for Continuing Education. Heather made a complicated subject both interesting and relatable." Thank you, Juanita. We’re loving your travel storytelling on social media, and look forward to seeing where it takes you next! #skillstraining #professionaldevelopment

If you’ve listened to the rhetoric around several major elections globally this year, you’ll agree that words are powerful tools.  This is not a new phenomenon, whether we’re talking about ancient Greek times, Shakespeare or modern politics. Think of John F Kennedy’s inaugural address of 1961. He could have said: “We must not be afraid to negotiate,” but instead chose a much more powerful rhetorical path: “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.”   In CCE’s latest blog article, learn some simple principles that anyone can learn to make their words leap off the page.  https://lnkd.in/gZ9n4Uxu  ?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=spa&utm_campaign=20241121&segment=pd&subarea=al
