A team is made up of two people - an adult; dad or mum or a trusted relative or family friend and a child aged between 6 and 14 years of age.
The challenges range from physical (like tug-of-war) to mental (like the memory challenge) to knowledge-based (like the music challenge) to fun (like painting with Resene colours).

I’m very proud of our people – of who they are, what they achieve and the enthusiastic, positive feedback our clients and customers provide about our people.
And I’ve been reflecting on what makes a GREAT salesperson. It’s not complicated, and it’s within reach of almost anyone who wants to have a great life and is willing to work toward it.
Here are my thoughts…
DECISION
Success begins with a decision. In my experience, at some point in their career, great salespeople decide to separate themselves from mediocrity and decide to become the best they can be.
In other words, they get serious. This decision is a necessary starting point.
CHARACTER
Coupled with a decision to be great, is a commitment to follow through – and to continue to follow through – until a high level of competence is achieved. It’s easy to commit, but it takes character to follow through day after day until you reach your goal.
PERSISTENCE
Greatness doesn’t happen overnight. Setbacks are inevitable, and no matter how big the challenge, it’s going to help you get better. All winners encounter setbacks, you’ve just got to decide whether you’ll be immobilised, or instead face and conquer them.
PATIENCE
Patience is not procrastination. The difference between the two is ACTION. Winners are always doing something which makes them improve in their chosen profession. Success is rarely immediate, you must patiently work toward improving and understanding that by taking steps to improve, and acting on that knowledge, success is just a matter of time.
GETTING SERIOUS
Ordinary results are a result of ordinary knowledge and ordinary execution. Extraordinary results occur when competent people perform results-creating actions again and again.
All of this is under your control.
If you’re serious about a high-performance career, we’re seriously interested in you.
If you aspire to be part of a culture of high-performing salespeople please call me, Malcolm Cox, or Michelle Hickmott on (06) 835 4321 for a confidential conversation and a copy of our Career Information booklet.
Hi,
I have a French intern (student) starting at EIT next week and she would really like to find accommodation with other students. Does anyone know of, or have a room that she could rent until the end of April? I can provide bedroom furniture if necessary. She would need somewhere within cycling … View moreHi,
I have a French intern (student) starting at EIT next week and she would really like to find accommodation with other students. Does anyone know of, or have a room that she could rent until the end of April? I can provide bedroom furniture if necessary. She would need somewhere within cycling distance of EIT or on the bus route.
Thanks!

We would love to adopt a female, unspayed, around the same age if anyone knows of one who needs to be rehomed. We can offer an excellent loving and caring home with the bonus of getting to spend each workday on a 250 hectare farm (not as a working dog, but as a companion). Thank you 😊
