The Key to Unlocking Your Potential: Life is Not a Prison

31/8/2022

Written and Read By: Brett Ashley

After spending many years in the corporate world, during which time he became aware of how easy it is to become trapped in an unsatisfying workplace, Brett Ashley is clear that the most important lesson he learned involved creating an environment in which everyone thrived. Although he didn’t always have the support of his employers, he persevered and before long senior management could see that the structures he put in place not only brought increased profits, but also greater job satisfaction for everyone in his team. ‘The Key to Unlocking Your Potential’ takes a refreshing approach to making the most of every day at work, especially for those tasked with getting the best from their team, as well as making fascinating and valuable reading for anyone who feels ‘locked’ into their job.

Written By: Karen Mcmillan
Narrated By: Suzy Cato

A fun fantasy action-adventure set in the South Pacific. Kiri, Jed, and twins Emma and Ethan discover an ‘elastic’ island that sends them pinging across the ocean to a variety of destinations. Bob the Blue-Footed Booby is running a flying school at Flip Flop Bay, which sounded like fun until the children discovered that this means dressing in weird costumes and launching themselves off the end of the wharf. It’s the latest silly idea in a series of doomed ventures from Bob the Blue-Footed Booby, who is trying to save their small fishing village from closure. Can the children come up with an idea that will save the island and its kooky inhabitants? And what about the complication of The Dastardly Captain Crook? Suitable for children 8 - 12 years MOVIE/ TV RIGHTS OPTIONED BY FUZZY DUCKLING MEDIA!

New Release - NGĀ KETE MĀTAURANGA

In this beautiful and transformative book, 24 Māori academics share their personal journeys, revealing what being Māori has meant for them in their work. Their perspectives provide insight for all New Zealanders into how mātauranga is positively influencing the Western-dominated disciplines of knowledge in the research sector. It is a shameful fact, says co-editor Jacinta Ruru in her introduction to Nga Kete Mātauranga, that in 2020, only about 5 percent of academic staff at universities in Aotearoa New Zealand are Māori. Tertiary institutions have for the most part been hostile places for Indigenous students and staff, and this book is an important call for action. ‘It is well past time that our country seriously commits to decolonising the tertiary workforce, curriculum and research agenda,’ writes Professor Ruru
