Bio
Nga manaakitanga! I believe in people; our creativity, our ability to transform, our uniqueness one from the other and all the things we have in common.
I believe that when we are present we listen for all of that potential.
Together we can generate so much more an one by one in our own little worlds. Our one big world need us now...
I'm passionate about
mana Maori, mana wahine, partnership, and equitable access to health, education and participation for all. The planet. A peaceful heart. Creating a future in which each of our individual peaceful hearts opens up a peaceful, sustainable future...

words matter: we create reality with words - in the language or languages which we understand; even our thoughts are formulated using words. Changing what we say + listening differently to the words of others could transform almost everything...
Areas of expertise
Coaching, facilitation, seeing greatness in others, super-vision, thinking, Training design
The TED story
TED inspires me, gives me rest and reflection time when life is full; encourages me to think again when I'm feeling a bit flat; makes me smile; laugh out loud; think again; go deeper; keep it light : )
