Workshop on Better conversations and restorative thinking

Greg from Glenfield

Restorative thinking helps us to build and maintain good community relationships.

Examples of restorative thinking (or 'restorative practice') are:

- being able to express and talk about what really matters to us
- listening to someone else to understand what matters to them
-identifying causes of conflict as we talk ('positions': in an argument, what I say matters)
- working together to find out our underlying motivations or values (my, your, our 'interests')
- creating conversations that move us from a place of hurt to healing.

We want to promote opportunities for people to talk about and share ideas for restorative thinking.

This workshop is a chance to get a discussion going. It will be very interactive rather than presentations. Let's get talking. Sessions will cover topics such as building connections, developing our confidence in brave conversations and self-facilitation, the role for faith groups in promoting restorative thinking and practice.

Friday 20 October. 10.00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m.
Vegetarian lunch provided.
Brought to you by Onewa Christian Community and ANCAD.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

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?
