Kataraina Pipi MC's this unique cultural event, making the connections between us, the marae, nature, Maori and TetraMap. You'll 'discover' your Element and prepare yourself for Day 2!

This event welcomes our overseas speakers and helps us all make the connections with New Zealand's unique cultural and environmental diversity.

Wednesday 23 February 8:30am - 6pm at The Conference Centre

The learning continues! The day focuses on making the connections for you. A simple, inter-active, fast-paced format ensures that you hear from each speaker, have time to digest messages, then apply lessons with processes and activities to make it real and applicable. Speakers are invited to share their experiences and then will be interviewed by Martin Coburn to crystallise relevance.  Each speaker, supported by TetraFacilitators, will guide you through an experiential learning process to make the connections to workplace reality.  Debriefs after each activity and at the end of the day ensure that 'take-aways' are clear and you are inspired to use them!
