Navigating challenging conversations
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?
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?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
