Empowering organisations and businesses to unlock potential through cultural innovation and strategic leadership.
Joined TKW Membership on: 27 Feb 2024
At the core of who I am, are my tīpuna, my ancestors and my cultural identity in being a fierce Wahine Māori. I acknowledge and breathe life into my purpose and my quest which is to serve my people - Tangata Whenua, Tangata Tiriti and everyone in between. The most important mātāpono that drives me is whakawhanaungatanga – the process of establishing and building relationships.
My mahi
As an Learning & Development, Organisational Development & Strategy, HR Generalist and Te Ao Māori Strategy professional for over 16 years I am driven by strong thought leadership and I’m in the business of adding value at a strategic and tangible level. My mission is to connect and translate strategic Te Ao Māori plans and organisational direction to people so that they understand how and why they do what they do. I am also an established Indigenous Coach & Mentor where building authentic relationships, providing trusted advice, and coaching is also a part of how I do things. I am passionate, motivated, and inspired to co-create learning, culture and leadership, as well as calling out potential: everything I do is for the greater good of the whole.
I focus on helping organisations to build authentic inclusive environments where it is safe for people to engage with Te Ao Māori, break down barriers and fears so they see the true value in weaving together our combined cultural superpowers. Cultural transformation is the future of all organisations, unleashing and empowering all people of Aotearoa New Zealand.
