Whakamihi ki a Carin 🙌🏽

Carin (right) was awarded the Betty Meyer’s Award at our last club meeting. She delivered a fantastic speech titled “The Gift” which argued that people should view feedback as a gift rather than a burden. When reframed in this way, feedback becomes a helpful resource for individuals. It provides them with suggestions for how they might improve or adapt their way of doing or thinking.

Whakamihi ki a Simon! For the second meeting in a row, he was awarded the Betty Meyer’s Award 👏🏽

At each of our meetings, we have a role called the Listener. The Listener listens carefully throughout the meeting to pick up on interesting points and questions that they quiz the rest of the attendees on before the end of the meeting. The Listener role and session encourage us to hone our listening and become even better communicators.

Simon was the Listener at our last meeting. He was awarded the BMA for the excellent questions he posed and the enjoyable atmosphere he created during this session.

Our next club meeting is this Wednesday, 5.30-7pm at the St Andrew’s Conference Centre.

All are welcome! First timers are advised to arrive 5 mins early so we can give you a brief overview before the meeting starts.
