Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
