Here's what you need to know👇🏼

Most people can't spot a concussion until it's too late.

Here's the thing: head injuries can happen anywhere.

Sports. Falls. Accidents.

And when someone you care about hits their head, the signs aren't always obvious.

But here's what most people don't know:

There are 3 critical signs that tell you immediately if someone has a concussion, and knowing these could be the difference between getting them proper care or missing a serious brain injury.

Sign #1: Look for Confusion

Are they dazed?

Do they seem disoriented?

Can they remember what happened?

These mental changes are your first red flags that something's wrong.

Sign #2: Check for Physical Signs

Headache. Nausea. Dizziness.

They might feel sick or unsteady.

This isn't just a bump on the head, it's a warning sign.

Sign #3: Watch for Changes

Are they acting differently?

Slurred speech? Loss of balance?

Any change in behaviour after a head injury is serious.

If you see any of these signs, call 999 immediately.

The truth?

Most people don't recognise concussion symptoms, let alone know when to get emergency help.

But here's what you can do:

Learn concussion recognition at Basegreen.

Here's what you need to know👇🏼

Most parents don't know what to do when their baby is choking.

Here's the thing: babies under one year old can choke on anything.

Food. Small objects. Toys.

And when it happens, every second counts.

But here's what most people don't know:

There are 3 critical steps that can save an infant's life in those first crucial moments, and knowing these could be the difference between saving your baby or watching helplessly.

Step #1: Hold Them Face Down

Position them face down on your forearm.

Support their head and neck carefully.

Give up to 5 back blows between their shoulder blades.

This uses gravity to help dislodge the object.

Step #2: Turn and Press

If that doesn't work, turn them face up.

Give up to 5 chest thrusts.

Place fingers around the back, use thumbs to push inward and upward.

This creates pressure to force the object out.

Step #3: Keep Alternating

Keep alternating between back blows and chest thrusts.

Continue until the object comes out or they become unconscious.

If they become unconscious, call 999 immediately.

The truth?

Most parents panic when their baby chokes because they've never learned the proper technique.

But here's what you can do:

Learn infant choking response at Basegreen.

Turn these skills into recognised qualifications and real career paths.

And when your baby needs you most, you'll know exactly what to do.

10 steps to advance your career (what I've learned training over 1,000 professionals):

1. Stop Waiting for Permission

Most people wait for their manager to promote them.

Or for the perfect job posting to appear.

It's impossible to advance your career if you're waiting for someone else to recognise your potential.

Start investing in yourself today.

2. Identify What You're Missing

We often think we're qualified for the next role.

But the opposite is true.

Most people don't know what skills employers actually want:

• What qualifications open doors?
• What training makes you stand out?
• What certifications prove competence?

Identify your gaps, then fill them.

3. Invest in Accredited Training

Instead of hoping experience alone will get you promoted, invest in professional qualifications.

First Aid at Work. Leadership and Management. Fire Safety. Industry-specific certifications.

Qualifications prove you can do the job.

Experience alone doesn't.

4. Choose Flexible Learning

Most people think training means taking weeks off work.

That's not true.

Modern training offers flexible options:

• In-person at training centres
• At your workplace
• Distance learning at your own pace

You can upskill without disrupting your current role.

5. Focus on One Skill at a Time

It's impossible to master everything at once.

When you try to learn multiple skills simultaneously, you end up overwhelmed and making slow progress.

Pick one qualification.

Complete it.

Then move to the next.

6. Apply Skills Immediately

When you begin to learn something new, use it right away.

Our brains forget information we don't use.

Apply your new skills in your current role.

Practice them daily.

When you return to job hunting, you'll have real experience to talk about.

7. Connect With Your Industry

Your industry is your greatest teacher.

• Attend training events
• Join professional networks
• Learn from accredited providers
• Connect with qualified professionals

Find time to invest in your professional development.

8. Train Your Mindset

Instead of thinking "I'm not qualified," focus on "I'm becoming qualified."

Identify what you need to learn.

Find the right training.

Commit to completing it.

Your mindset determines your career trajectory.

9. Take Action

Career advancement starts decreasing when you stop learning.

The only way to stave this off:

Take action.

Invest in one professional qualification this quarter.

Complete it.

Then invest in the next.

10. Make It Ongoing

Don't treat training as a one-time event.

Treat it as an ongoing investment.

Regular skill updates. New qualifications.

The professionals who thrive are the ones who never stop learning.

Uplevel your career and your earning potential.

Here's what you need to know👇🏼

Most people can't spot a broken bone until it's too late.

Here's the thing: broken bones can happen anywhere.

Sports. Falls. Accidents.

And when someone you care about is hurt, every second counts.

But here's what most people don't know:

There are 3 critical signs that tell you immediately if someone has a fracture, and knowing these could be the difference between helping someone properly or making things worse.

Sign #1: Look for Deformity

Is the limb bent in an unusual way?

Is there swelling or bruising?

These visual cues are your first indicators that something's seriously wrong.

Sign #2: Check for Pain

Severe pain that gets worse with movement.

They might not be able to move the limb at all.

This isn't just discomfort, it's a red flag.

Sign #3: Don't Try to Straighten It

This is where most people make a critical mistake.

Keep the area still.

Support it with something soft.

Call 999 if it's severe or you're unsure.

The truth?

Most people don't know how to recognise fractures, let alone manage them properly.

But here's what you can do:

Learn proper fracture management at Basegreen.

Turn these skills into recognised qualifications and real career paths.

And when someone you love is hurt, you'll know exactly what to do.
