Leading with Cultural Confidence: Strengthening Workplace Inclusion

REGISTER HERE
Matariki mā Puanga, Matariki hunga nui – this year’s theme for Matariki honours the many pathways and traditions through which we celebrate the Māori new year. It reminds us that diversity is not a competition of values, but a collective celebration of all that we bring.
Join us for a powerful panel wānanga hosted by AU, exploring what it means to lead with cultural confidence in the evolving diversity landscape of Aotearoa. Anchored in the spirit of Matariki mā Puanga, this discussion will unpack how leaders can honour and elevate multiple cultural narratives with authenticity and mana. We’ll delve into how embracing one kaupapa uplifts, not diminishes another, and how courageous, culturally grounded leadership can serve as a beacon for inclusive transformation. This kōrero is an invitation to all: to listen, learn, and lead in ways that reflect the richness of who we are, and the futures we’re shaping together.
