Richard's enthusiasm for storytelling goes beyond its technical aspects; he sees it as a powerful tool that allows people to view the world through a different lens. He emphasises that storytelling can be incredibly valuable in various aspects of life, including job interviews and pitching projects.

Richard also introduces us to a new technology that he finds cool and powerful: ChatGPT. Many people are apprehensive about this technology due to their lack of understanding. To ease this anxiety, Richard has written a book called "ChatGPT Simplified" to demystify AI for non-tech beginners. Even though he is not a tech expert, his background in the TV business and his storyteller's perspective have driven his fascination with AI and its potential impact on storytelling.

Labelled as the 'Keep-it-real Teacher' because she is passionate, energetic, inspiring, funny, and most importantly, realistic, Daniela Falecki has a Master's in Education (Leadership) from Western Sydney University. She is also a certified Life Coach and NLP Practitioner.

In teacher education, Daniela never got taught social and emotional skills. She was taught how to plan and write curriculum, assess reports, and teach well-being to students but never learned the skills of positive reflection or self-awareness to better regulate her own emotions. Through her self-learning, she began to focus on the areas of her life she could control—herself. 

The greatest gift Daniela has been able to give herself is listening to her body, managing her mind better, and engaging with her feelings in a healthy way. It wasn’t about removing the stress and pressure in her life as a teacher. It was about learning the social and emotional skills needed to manage the ups and downs better.

Daniela now dedicates her time and energy to helping teachers across the world realise they are amazing and doing an incredible job. They deserve to prioritise their well-being just as much as that of others.

Collin Hughes speaks about a difficult topic with passion. Suicide is not easy to talk about, but it is a discussion everyone needs to have.

Collin never thought suicide would be a factor in his life until his granddaughter killed herself. On that day, he learned that there are two sides to suicide, the person who dies and those left behind to face the pain. He is now on a mission to find any platform to talk about this sensitive subject with the hope of preventing other people from such a tragic end. 

Collin is a spokesperson for The Malinois Foundation. The foundation donates and trains psychiatric service dogs for military veterans, women survivors, first responders, and children with special needs.
