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.
