Whakarongo ki te tangi i ngā manu e karanga nei

Listen to the call of the tui

Do you…?

• have a desire to connect meaningfully with others working within communities to affect change, and you see potential for collaboration?
• recognise the inequities and prejudices in our society and feel motivated to make this right.
• know there is a need for new ways of seeing, doing and being if we are to lead well, and you’re keen to explore that further?
• want to slow down and learn how to listen carefully to your own inner voice, to the call of our time, to play to your strengths and move in response?

Join the Incubator journey this year…

Incubator is an engaging 9-month personal development journey, which supports leaders to grow equitable and thriving communities, and to take the time to reflect deeply on their own personal leadership.

It begins at the time of Matariki (June 2024) and concludes in April 2025 and is designed to:

• Hold space for Te Tiriti and equity as an inclusive programme
• Empower leaders to support Hauora (holistic wellbeing) and community flourishing
• Cultivate connection through small group and whole team shared learning opportunities
• Support personal exploration of strengths and individual leadership journeys
• Create space for reflection with peers to bring new perspectives to leadership and your communities
