Yes we can!!! . I came across this account @autumnskating and I think this is such a wonderful example of our sometimes hidden ability to do what might seem scary and ‘too ambitious’ to others. . Practice, research and encouragement - all necessary to get you where you want to be. So today think of this little girl doing what to me is very scary but watching her looks so joyful and effortless and tell yourself ‘Yes- I can!’ Go out and do what you need to do. 🙌👏🔥 . #tuesdaymotivation #tuesdayvibes #yeswecan #motivation #justdoit #business #socialmedia #ashfordkent #kent #kentmums #womeninbusiness #businesswoman #sherocks

#saferinternetday How to improve your safety online. . The world got its first taste of the internet 31 years ago , the same year the world wide web was created. What a lot has changed! The way people engage in line, how much it saturates people’s lives and the creativity it has made possible. . Not just kids but for adults too, we all need to take steps to keep our online presence safe. . 🔐 Keep personal information professional and limited. Potential employees or customers DON’T need to know your home address or personal relationship status . 🔐 Keep Your Privacy settings ON Enable them - @facebook provide privacy-enhancing settings . These settings are sometimes deliberately hard to find because companies want your personal information for its marketing value. . 🔐Make sure Your Internet Connection is Secure. Use a secure VPN connection Make sure your device is secure, if in doubt wait for a better time ( ie when you’re able to use a secure WI-FI network) . Especially when you’re accessing or giving out bank details . 🔐 Be Careful What You DOWNLOAD Cyber criminals want to trick you into downloading malware- software to steal your information. Don’t download apps that look suspicious or come from a site that you don’t trust . Hope you can use the info above. Please comment if you’ve found this post useful. .
