How about some Therapy Ideas Live motivation to get 2013 started? All 10 lightning talks from our September 2012 event at UCL, are now on the website.

These 5 minute videos are bite-sized CPD opportunities about a huge range of topics from the Nuffield Dyspraxia Program to using gestures in therapy. There are talks on Lego Therapy, the importance of marketing in SLT and a story book project with adults with brain injuries. Have a look.

The next evening of Therapy Ideas Live Lightning talks is on Wednesday March 6th at Google Campus, Shoreditch. The first round of speaker announcements is coming soon. You can get your tickets here.

I’m looking for a couple more therapists to present talks. Each speaker has 5 minutes and 20 slides that are set up to move forward every 15 seconds. It’s a dynamic, exciting format, and inclusive because anyone can give a lightning talk, even you! If your goals for 2013 include being brave, stepping outside your comfort zone, or growing your professional network this could be the event for you. Get in touch to discuss your ideas or ask any questions.

If March isn’t a good time for you and you want to support the Therapy Ideas Live community how about recommending an SLT friend or colleague? If you know someone who’d give a great lightning talk send me their details, I’d love to ask them to present.

2013 is going to be an exciting year here at Therapy Ideas Live HQ, stay tuned!

]]> Therapy Ideas Live 2011 Wrap Up https://blog.therapyideas.org/2011/12/25/til11-wrap-up/ https://blog.therapyideas.org/2011/12/25/til11-wrap-up/#comments Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:53:57 +0000 http://therapyideas.org/blog/?p=519 It’s been a big year here at Therapy Ideas Live HQ. We’ve held three free evening events in London, each of which sold out, featuring 30 amazing speakers in total. They used their five minute slots to talk about diverse topics ranging from therapy approaches and new resources to goal setting and counselling, and everything in between.

The events were featured in the RCSLT bulletin: I was interviewed for My Working Life (page 34) in September and Janice Tucker wrote a lovely letter about the events in the November issue (page 4).

We’ve drunk wine together, socialised with our SLT colleagues, and recorded all the talks on video! It’s completely exceeded my expectations.

What’s next for 2012?

The first Therapy Ideas Live of 2012 is on March 14th, when we’ll be returning to City University. We’re keen to mix things up, Therapy Ideas Live with a twist: added speed dating! Okay, not the dating part so much — watch this space.

We’re publishing all the videos from the last three events and integrating them with some new features on the website. And I’m starting a podcast, so get in touch if you fancy being interviewed. It’s exciting stuff!

Thanks for all your support this year, hope to share ideas with you in 2012!
