Navigating challenging conversations

Greg from Glenfield

Interested in skills to help handle conflict and difficult conversations?
Erica Fairbank of Savvy Ever After is creating a one-off, hands-on workshop for us.
6 December, 10.30-1.30 in Birkenhead.

Over three hours we'll cover:
- The fundamentals of non-verbal language
- Identifying stress in others and yourself
- Understanding the Cycle of Escalation
- Sharpening the skill of asking good questions
- Confidently handling difficult conversations.

As another of the restorative thinking conversations hosted by Onewa Christian Community, there is no charge for this workshop. Thanks to the Justice-Compassion Trust for covering our costs. Also, thanks to ANCAD for supporting our conversations.

Note: this is a public workshop, not a church/religious activity.

Registrations essential. Get a ticket here:

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
