Father and son graduate together
Another great story!
Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.
While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.
Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.
“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.
While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”
Hypnosis for a weight loss mindset
One of the last things I did in December, before breaking up for the holidays, was to attend an interview with the Editor of Diabetes NZ Magazine. The article, due for publication in March 2025, will talk about how I use hypnosis to help people with diabetes to stick to the diet plan from their Dietician, and stick to the health advice from their Doctor, plus a few other things too. (You'll have to read the article to find out what those other things are!) I'm looking forward to seeing my name in print (again), and can't wait to see it in March. I will of course post a link here when it's published
Meanwhile...
You don't have to be diabetic to benefit from hypnosis to maintain your healthy, weight-loss mindset. Maybe you have another health condition that would improve with weight loss, or maybe you just WANT to lose weight by choice?
I live in Upper Hutt, from where I see hypnosis clients online from all over NZ and overseas, too. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have, or call me on ++64 211532508 when you're ready to start your hypnosis weight loss journey
Here's to your journey
