October brings World Teachers’ Day and the International Day of the Girl Child - both powerful reminders of the difference guidance and encouragement can make.

I help academics and professionals build clarity, confidence, and purpose - creating ripples of impact across the communities they serve.

With World Teachers’ Day on 5 Oct, I’m reflecting on the educators + researchers who’ve shaped our journeys.

What’s the one thing that made the biggest difference in your academic or professional path?

I looked up the definition of war crime tonight: unric.org/en/internati...

I don’t know why the international community is letting this happen in plain sight, but the people of Gaza deserve protection. What can we do as individuals to make this happen?

International law: Understanding justice in times of war

War crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, ethnic cleansing: what do these international justice terms mean?

Vast expanse of beach in sunshine with white fluffy clouds against blue sky. Sunlight shining on the sea which is in the distance. Silhouette of two people far a long the beach.
