Poll: Miserable, frustrated or bored at work? I’d love to hear your story.
I’d love to hear your challenges, where you're stuck, what's stopping you being happier at work. In return, I’d be happy to share some positive, practical, insights (from my research) to help you achieve more wellbeing and happiness at work.
I’d also love your help. I'm an academic researcher (on happiness and wellbeing at work) who wants to offer a practical way of helping people enjoy their work more. I would like to start an online coaching business.
But, I really need to know what sort of coaching would be useful to people i.e. what people really want. That's why I'd like to talk to real people like YOU!
Perhaps you'd have time for a 20 minute phone chat? If so, please message me with a phone number and some times next week that would work for you (or text me on 021-137-9801).
P.S. I'm definitely not trying to sell you anything. This is pure market research on my part (unless you make a specific request to work with me).
l Iook forward to hearing from you!
Dr Kathryn Owler :)

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
