They finished in style.
And we are delighted to say, more teams will be embracing the program and stepping into leadership learning and growth.
Here are a few quotes from those who completed the program!
“Talk about a beam of light from the heavens! This is exactly what I needed to hear during a very fraught time… This one piece of learning has resulted in lowering my stress levels when I find myself going into Below The Line thinking and being reactive instead of responsive.”
– On the impact of understanding emotional triggers and shifting her leadership response -
“Ururoatanga has given me valuable skills for me to lead a team with the principles of empowerment, ownership and development which I personally also value.”
– Summing up the personal transformation and alignment of leadership values -
“I’ve really valued the ability to complete this course… It covered a variety of leadership concepts, and I found value in most of the modules and smaller leadership snips. I work quite well with small digestible content… where there’s one or two concepts to reflect on and try out.”
– On how the course was well-designed for effective, lasting learning -
“By reframing our text in a positive and empowering way, the tangata whaiora were more open to engaging in conversation towards a commitment of new things… the ‘stature labelling’ between tangata whaiora and kaimahi dissolved a little more.”
– On the transformative power of reframing language to build connection and mutual respect -
“Emotional language promotes the possibilities of any situation. It fuels the imagination of our tangata whaiora and builds hope and curiosity, faith and belief in oneself that perhaps has been lost for a while.”
– On how intentional communication can reignite self-belief and hope in others -
“Belonging to a peer group, having regular meetings, and having a mentor to guide us as well as keep us accountable of our own progress through the course was crucial.”
– On the power of community, mentorship, and accountability in leadership development -
“In some ways going through the process has reassured me that I’m doing well, but also that there’s so much yet to learn. I love we get to keep the resources and will be able to use them as needed.”
– On the program’s blend of affirmation and growth, and the value of ongoing access to learning tools -
“By looking at our rituals and habits as individuals and as a team, we have been able to identify places we have been poorly managing, areas that are our strengths, and habits that have become fixed and no longer serve us.”
– On how small tools and reflection drive meaningful cultural change in teams -
