Sustainable Communication

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

It was wonderful to have so many guests at Wednesday's meeting - and so keen to take part! Finnian even scored the best Table Topics Award - great effort from a very natural speaker.

Nakhia's Table Topics questions certainly got us thinking about the meeting theme of "Protecting Our Environment" - and prepared speeches spanned dealing with illness when there's a language difference; mentoring; coping with fear; and smartphone addiction.

Next week's the 5th Wednesday of the month, so we'll have a break from our usual meeting format - the theme will be "Interpersonal Communication". Look forward to seeing you then :)

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

The wind is my enemy.
What am I?
