English language consultant
If English is your second language, chances are you speak English with an accent. Is this an issue? No, of course not, unless your listener can't understand you. You know when that happens- your listener leans in a bit with a 'look' that tells you they aren't following what you're saying. Or, worse, they tell you to forget it and that it doesn't matter. If this is your experience, you could be missing out on jobs or promotions and your confidence will be suffering. This is your chance to change things. My name is Lisa and I am a qualified English language teacher with 30 years experience and have my own language school based here in Christchurch. Call me on 022 010 5288 for a chat about how I can help you. We can set up a free initial online consultation and I'll explain what is happening when you speak, why it's happening, and what you can do about it. I can help you to regain your confidence or aim for that promotion or new job.
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated

Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
