Coaching and mentoring
“Tātai ki runga, tātai ki raro, tātai aho rau,
haumi e, hui e tāiki e”
I draw energy from above, I draw energy from below,
the energies entwine, our presence is acknowledged.
Whether you are a principal, across school lead, kaiako, RLTB or wanting to make meaningful change in your professional and personal life, He Waka Unua is here for you.
Our kaiārahi, experienced coaches and mentors, are here to champion you, provide support, listen and challenge you to be the best you can be whilst navigating your own journey.
They aim to be non-directive in their approach, only providing advice when asked for and utilise a repertoire of skills and frameworks to enable you to identify and set desired goals and take the steps towards fulfilling them.
Our values
Our kaiārahi have a heartfelt and genuine commitment to realising potential and nourishing people through commitment to the following values:
Kōrero Tahi: being an effective listener and communicator; remaining curious and open.
Whanaungatanga: building relational connections and creating a sense of belonging.
Manaakitanga: caring for each other and showing compassion.
Whakamana: having hope and optimism, positive intent and a realistic world view.
Hūmarietanga: relationships with humility and offering support in a humble way.
Rangatiratanga: taking personal responsibility and ownership for your own agency.
Kaitiakitanga: protecting, nurturing and supporting growth, confidence and self care.
Wairuatanga: forming a wairua together and providing a safe space for coming together.
