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?
