Testimonials
One month in, the Te Au Mātāhae has already supported my growth and development as a leader which has had a positive impact for my organisation and the people in it.
Jason Merrett, General Manager Participation Pathways at Sport Canterbury.
The Te Au Mātāhae has been an eye opening and thought-provoking experience so far. It has not only challenged me, but also assisted with giving myself permission to allow for the space, time and reflection required to continue to develop as an authentic, effective, and innovative leader.
