KAI KŌRERO

I’ve been a Keynote Speaker and MC for the past ten years. Let me bring my unique style of kōrero to your events!

Keynote Speaker

From rūnanga and iwi services to political parties, Kāhui Ako, Principals’ Associations, corporate teams, boards, and school communities, I’ve delivered hundreds of keynotes and workshops to groups across diverse sectors over the past decade.

My key topics include:

  • Self-care starts with us

  • The Art of Connection

  • High Performance through Mindfulness

  • Stress and Thriving Tools

  • Making Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Essential

  • Back from the Brink

Wellbeing is at the heart of everything I do. If you or your team need inspiration in this space, book me in now!

Master of Ceremonies

If you’re after a bilingual Māori MC who brings energy, humour, authenticity, and respect to every room, ko au tērā – I’m your person. I’ve had the privilege of MCing events like the NZ Book Awards, NZ Tourism Awards, Pharmacy Guild of NZ Awards, Pikihuia Awards for Māori Writers, Exercise NZ Awards, and the Absolutely Positively Wellington Awards, among others.

I’m passionate about celebrating people and their achievements, so let’s make your next event unforgettable. Book me in!
