Current work

He says, “I believe the most important resource in many organisations are their people. If people feel valued and are appropriately developed their continued contribution is priceless. One of our Maori proverbs outlines this: ‘He aha te mea nui?, He tangata, he tangata, he tangata’ that translates to, ‘What is the most important thing? It is people, people, people.' I help organisations to develop their people.”
