“Heke has made an immediate connection and impact with our teams at all levels, imparting cultural knowledge, experience, and guidance in a way that feels natural, and builds confidence, whilst also challenging us to grow.”
“I could not pick up any unconscious bias which allowed me to go to a space of being open to receiving his content – and add it to my kete of knowledge for the purposes of understanding the dynamics that were in play at that time during the signing of Treaty of Waitangi.”
“Hone Heke has a great passion for the work he does. Culture is a massive part of high-Performance sports and plays an important role in team bonding. Hone Heke builds trust through telling his unique story and puts a big emphasis on knowing where you come from and what grounds you, our Turangawaewae.”
“What impacted me the most about the Te Pūheke course was I saw my team open up and share their experiences and emotions in a way I hadn’t seen them do before and I learned so much about them. I loved the passion, empathy, and humour of our ‘guides’.”
At our organisation , we are dedicated to unlocking potential through Māori knowledge by providing professional development programmes. We place a high priority on preserving the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa, while also empowering individuals to apply this knowledge to both their personal and professional lives. Our approach is designed to guide participants towards forming deep, meaningful connections to Te ao Māori.
Te Whetū is a 10-week programme focussed on leadership skills, personal development, and self-improvement, incorporating a Te Ao Māori perspective. The programme is tailored to meet the needs of rangatahi based on input from their kura.
