Tip of the week from FB @CreatingHealthyWorkplaces (by Dani Rius)

Dani Rius - Strategic Intervention Coach (Tony Robbins' method)

Watch out for your colleagues the same way you would like to be cared for. Are there signs of fatigue? Are they o.k.? Check in and then get to work, not vice versa. When we genuinely care for others, it feels like a celebration. Start the movement if not already in place and make a difference.

When we genuinely care for others, it feels like a celebration. Start the movement if not already in place and make a difference. It IS in our power to decide to change the culture in our immediate circles of trust. Then watch its multiplying effect.

To help, New Zealand Red Cross provided $6.9 million to 179 Canterbury schools, designed to improve the well-being of children by funding a range of school programmes, events and initiatives.

Find out the difference this funding made to both the schools and students in the sixth of our 10 Good Stories videos. These videos show all the ways Red Cross helped one in five Cantabrians recover from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, thanks to the generous donations of people from New Zealand and beyond.

On Banks Peninsula contractors have managed to clear a path through all the slips of note in the south bays although there is a fresh report of a slip on Kinloch Rd which they are on route to.

Western Valley Road will be closed for the evening due to a bridge washout. There are alternative routes from Port Levy to Pigeon Bay so the washout has not isolated houses.

I wash at home and dry there. I did three loads of washing, sheets, towels etc. only cost a few dollars to dry. Very quick. Buy the tokens from the dairy next door or use eftpos. Drying clothes inside on a rack is not good for you or your house.

With this in mind, and for safety reasons now that it is dark, we recommend that people who have not yet evacuated remain in their homes, and those that have evacuated do not try to return overnight.
