This will be a participatory 1 hour, bring your lunch and a cuppa conversation session.

What does reflective practice mean to you?

In our time together we will explore the definition of reflective practice and how it can support our everyday roles to support a work life balance.

We will also uncover how reflective practice aligns to hosting ourselves, and others and discuss how we individually apply reflective practice in our lives.
Discovering the benefits of individual and team reflective practices can have benefits we may never see.

We will introduce some simple strategies and ways of working through participatory practice models.

Your hosts for this session are:

Lee Griffiths - I have a passion for community and always have, this is why I do the work I do, facilitating ABDC training, workshops and strategic planning. I have spent the last 14 years working in local government and the not for profit sector creating the conditions for government and organisations to walk along side community to strengthen outcomes across Australia and the UK.

From my grassroots roots voluntary work to my previous leadership positions, the golden thread has always build on recognising the strengths, assets and opportunities communities already have to bring about the change they want.

Fiona Miller - Fiona is a creative conduit with a diverse back ground that includes community development, creative & visual arts, early years, education, bushfire recovery, inclusion, community houses, community gardens and more. Having worked within a variety of organisations/agencies and local governments she has a broad understanding of the diversity of organisational structures.
As a facilitator, graphic harvester or community member, contributing to community for making great places and participating in community led projects that are sustainable are her focus. She loves nothing more than watching people and projects grow and uses creative arts, ABCD and strengths based practices as platforms for discovering and exploring community futures.
Supporting our young people to explore their own place within community is something she sees as particularly important. Everyone deserves to feel safe and be included and we can build relationships and have fun while we do it.

Luke Gilray - I have been working in the disability sector for the past 10 years. I have had a wide range of experience from working in youth crisis
management, Disability Employment Services, Transition to Work Programs, Australian Disability Enterprises.

I spent two years as a Local Area Coordinator and have spent the last two years as a Support Coordinator. I started in the sector due to lived experience helping my mother to support my brother growing up who has complex disabilities.
