Origins back in 2011
Leadership Lab emerged in Ōtautahi / Christchurch during the devastating earthquakes of 2011. This was a hugely provoking time for us all with both the tragic loss of life and city-wide infrastructure damage, and simultaneously a city-wide collective willingness (and desperate need) to work together in new and fresh ways…
Out of the community, a response
A small group of us who were community members and experienced leaders and consultants were compelled by the opportunity to contribute to the rebuild of our own city. However, in order to engage with the city-wide government level interventions need we realised we needed to come together and collectivise so that we could be taken seriously by the Government agencies and participate in this city rebuild.
A collective approach
Hence Leadership Lab was born – a leadership consulting company based on the collaboration of passionate and diverse consultants all focussed on growing equitable and thriving communities and organisations in Aotearoa. We are a collective; we have no employees; however, we have grown over the last 10+ years to a network of over 50 individuals who each have their own businesses – who all choose to collaborate within a range of projects together.
2024… our journey continues
With intentional wānanga and times to gather, our team continues to find strength, refine our focus, and focus on the specific areas of impact we are focused on.
