June 17: The Soundtrack to a Different Kind of Walk
June is OUR screen free Living for children and teens MONTH!
Music is everywhere in our lives, but how often do we give it our full attention? Today, ask your teen to put on their favourite playlist and go for a walk - without scrolling.
Music has a unique way of changing how we experience the world. A familiar song can lift your mood, help you think, bring back memories or make an ordinary walk feel like a little movie scene.
But how often do we really listen?
It's easy for music to become background noise while we're busy checking messages, watching videos or scrolling through social media. This challenge is about doing something different. It's about keeping the music on, putting the phone away and paying attention to what's happening around you.
Notice the lyrics. Notice the rhythm. Notice the changing scenery as you walk. Notice how certain songs make you feel.
You don't need a destination, a fitness goal, or a reason to be outside. Just a playlist, a pair of headphones and a willingness to be present for a little while.
So get them to press play, step outside and see what happens when the music gets their full attention.

Neuroinclusion for ManagERS

Right now, around 1 in 5 people in your team may be neurodivergent. That means they might process information differently, communicate differently, and experience your management style very differently from what you intend. Most managers are doing their best with almost no guidance on any of this. This session changes that.
In 45 focused minutes, you will get a clear, honest grounding in what neuroinclusive management actually looks like in practice. We will remove the deficit-framed thinking about "difficult" team members and discuss practical, human-centred approaches you can implement immediately.
This is not a session about diagnosing your team or becoming an overnight expert. It is about adjusting the conditions you create as a manager so that more of your people can do their best work, without having to constantly advocate for themselves to be heard.
A note on what this is not
This is not a session about spotting who is neurodivergent on your team. You do not need to know. Neuroinclusive management works by improving the conditions for everyone, so the people who need it most are not left having to ask.
