Personal Development teaches how to control our mindset to improve our present & future. No matter the curve ball that comes our way we have choice always - to get bitter or get better.

Getting better involves focusing on stuff that ultimately will improve us, not downgrade us. Looking for silver linings, gifts & lessons in unexpected events. Focusing on what we are grateful for many times a day - I love this one - I am grateful for every single cell in my body that so competently keeps me alive & functioning.

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.

"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”

The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

A doubling of house prices coupled with an influx of new residents means a previously stagnating Dunedin has to prepare for growing pains.

A council report notes the city's population was growing at a faster rate than it had historically, driven largely by domestic and international migration.

The city’s housing market was also growing, with the average value increasing by 99 per cent in the last five years - and reaching a record $650,000. in March

The council report said another 1512 homes would be needed in Dunedin in the next three years, while 4852 would be needed within 10 years and 9645 would be needed within 30.

Dear neighbours,

Please meet Alyce Read of Nelson, who uses her houseplant collection to connect with others and help them overcome mental health challenges. "You wouldn’t take a plant and put it in a dark corner and fail to water it and expect it to thrive. So we should look at ourselves that way," she says. "If we are not thriving in the way that we would wish, it might not be any fault of ours, it might be the conditions that we are under."

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ to paying it forward in line at a cafe - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, build a free community library for your street, buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re spreading kindness this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
