Neil's story
Once you’ve asked for help, it’s up and up.
In his workplace, Fonterra Spreyton, Neil decided to ask for help to write new standard operating procedures.
“The hardest part is asking for help…” Neil said. “Once you get it, it’s up and up.”
Neil believes the only real challenge he faced was doubting himself and his abilities. He noted that reaching out, asking for help and learning what they were teaching him gave him a lot more confidence.
The feedback Neil received while he was learning was extremely positive and he’s been recognised for helping and learning on site.
“Everyone comes to me for help now if they need help within training wise.” he said.
Neil encourages anyone who is thinking about learning to “just jump in and do it”.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to learning more.” he said.

"It's also given us another opportunity to talk about plain English generally, and what that means to the business, and to emphasise that gone are the days that you need to use long words and complicated sentences in a business-related document. The theme is always keep it simple and transfer the message as clearly as possible."
Robin's story as a volunteer
"Failure was not an option, though, as the future growth of each learner that I was offered was dependent upon me sending them away from each session with greater knowledge, confidence and belief in themselves."
