A brief explanation as to why we chose the title, Gone Fishing can be found here.  Apart from the deep, philosophical import of the proverb, the title is intended to reflect our Australian penchant for self deprecation.

Something Deaf people are known for.

Of course the content will be serious, and is aimed at the Deaf professional.

Without further ado, I give you Gone Fishing, and to whet your appetite, here is a reprint of an interview with Kyle Sterry, a Geophysicist. There are two more in the pipeline, and they will be published next week.

The list of professional deaf people, that I plan to interview, grows longer.

I will be republishing one interview with Kerry Styles, a Geophysicist, as well as bringing you two brand new interviews. One with Damian Barry, who has recently set up his own business Deaf Answers, and Noreen Haigh of ProVisual.

If you have an article or item of interest, feel free to submit it to us. Better still, if you want to write for us, contact us with your proposal.

Gone Fishing is our online newsletter/ blog. The title GONE FISHING was inspired by the Chinese Proverb:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. [Source]

With that in mind, Gone Fishing will be filled with resources on all aspects of business and professional career building, case studies, interviews, inspirational stories, and motivational tales aimed at Deaf people.
