Copping a good question

By Bill JenningsCommunity Inspirational people

I copped a real poser recently – a great question that has seeped into my mind and heart. It went something like this… What are the characteristics of a good man? I was asked this during a phone interview for The Mercury in Tasmania. So many questions shoot off from this. Can’t the same characteristics…

A Selfless Act

By Bill JenningsDads and Daughters Kindness Sacrifice

Bumped into a former colleague yesterday – top person. She had just received some bad news that she had missed out on a promotion. Tough when that happens – vulnerability is exposed. In the time I was chatting with her, someone else came up and said, ‘bad luck’. You probably recall a similar experience. You…

Who’s in Your Corner?

By Bill JenningsFathers and Sons Generosity Good Parenting Kindness Sacrifice service Volunteering

My Dad and I are pretty different. He’s fine detail, I’m big picture. If you read one of my blog posts and find a typo in it, you can be sure that I haven’t sent it to Dad for a forensic proof-read. He’s read two drafts of this and suggested that I get my ‘dads’…

Making Good Decisions

By Bill JenningsDecision Making New Learning

Murray described what was in his hand as something that, at first viewing, is a fairly unremarkable collection of metal. At a Time & Space expedition, we bring along, and share treasures around the campfire. People bring a tangible item that they value and share the stories that are attached to that object. It doesn’t…

A Piece of Teenage Wisdom

By Bill JenningsAlcohol Mentoring Role Modelling Teenage Wisdom

A colleague, Michael Grose, tweeted a question to prepare for a presentation he is doing this week. “Why do teenagers binge drink? What’s the motivation?” It got me thinking and, as I live in a household with two teenagers, I posed the question to my daughter this morning. Always best to ask these questions in…

The ‘Tim-Tam’ Journey

By Bill JenningsCommunity Fathers and Sons Good Parenting Sacrifice

If you are reading this outside of Australia, how do I explain Tim-Tams to you? Have you ever met an Aussie travelling in your country? We are prone to more than a little home sickness. This usually applies most acutely to the foods we can’t get easily overseas. Perhaps the traditional foodstuff that is missed…

Feeling ‘New Learning’

By Bill JenningsCommunity Fathers and Sons Mentoring New Learning

Do you ever feel new learning? Good new learning can take us to a place that is so transformative, that we feel that new insight impacting deep within. Your blogger felt that ‘new-ness’ around a campfire at the recent Time & Space expedition for Simonds College. Over the years, I’ve been on many of these…

Smart Parenting

By Bill JenningsFathers and Sons Good Parenting

There are little pieces of parenting ‘gold’ surrounding us, all the time, I reckon. We often hear that licenses and accreditation’s are issued for nearly every task that we take on in society with the exception of being a mum or a dad. There is no official guide book, so capturing a good idea when…
