The Process | Te Ara Poutama
The Kānuka tree is an Aotearoa native forest pioneer species and has two key roles in the ecosystem: to revegetate and rejuvenate whenua (land) that has been burnt, eroded or experienced some form of trauma; Kānuka also grows tall and has a role in pushing other trees like Tōtara and Kahikatea to grow tall and straight to reach the canopy. We compare these key roles with our wellbeing and leadership philosophies.

The tree analogy helps to represent our core value of deep connection coaching. This begins with the early effort to design a programme, with you, that is measurable, well grounded and reflects your specific situational knowledge and context.

We then facilitate engaging and interactive workshops that teach key principles of wellbeing, leadership or cultural health. In between workshops we use connection-coaching to mentor individuals through the development and application of these principles.

Measure and Iterate
Haere whakamua, titiro whakamuri
We measure and review individual/team progress against co-designed outcomes and programme success criteria. For best results, we iterate our focus as the development unfolds.
Report and Review
Tātaihia te mahere
We provide a 90-day reporting cycle to decision-makers/SLT based upon the co-designed outcomes and programme success criteria. At the end of the programme, we sit down with this group to evaluate the programme and consider recommended next steps.

Client Journeys | Ngā Hīkoi
Typically, our clients are doing really well and want to go to the next level; some are also experiencing challenges, which are restricting their organisational development. Our unique NZ model enables leaders and teams to be highly vulnerable, speak the unspoken, get real on where ‘it’ is at and address the obstacles which stand in the way of improved performance.

Our Team | Ko wai Mātou
As an effective leader, it is unlikely you are looking for a ‘quick fix’ solution. Our philosophy is to build deep connection and a long term commitment to facilitating leadership growth and organisational prosperity.
Wiremu
Director | Kaiwhakahaere
Choosing to move beyond the western model of health, for over 20 years I have studied medicine, exercise, nutrition, psychoneuroimmunology, leadership, coaching and behaviour design underpinned by Te Ao Maori principles and Tikanga.
A core value of Kānuka is that we build partnerships, we do not offer off-the-shelf solutions. Our programmes teach leaders and teams how to produce optimal results without increased burnout and stress.
Steve
Director | Kaiwhakahaere
I believe the absence of deep personal integrity and fundamental character strength cause relationship challenges across both our professional and personal lives. Having held leadership roles within the private and not-for-profit sectors within national and multinational organisations, and having also studied mediation and dispute resolution, I recognise that the journey of shifting paradigms and building character strength are a mutual investment in time, commitment and trust.

Liz Rentz
Executive Administrator
I love working with awesome, genuine people and helping to find solutions to streamline business processes. I have a history of working for local government in both operational and project roles, moving on to becoming an independent contractor working in a variety of admin roles after having my second child.
I really enjoy being part of the Kānuka team – the values and integrity of the people behind Kānuka really resonate with me – they truly live and breathe what they teach, and have challenged me and inspired me on many levels regarding my own personal wellbeing, as well as in the workplace.
Marie Roberts
Client Care Team
I have always loved working with people and have spent my whole career working in customer focused industries. As a manager for an international car rental company based at Heathrow Airport in the UK I came into contact with people from many different nationalities and from all walks of life. I built a team that was focused on meeting our customer’s needs through listening to what they required and then working together to meet those expectations. On returning to New Zealand, I became the Operations Manager at a stand-alone rest home and retirement village in the Bay of Plenty and had the privilege of working to provide the best possible care and environment for the elderly people of the community. Both roles were fascinating and very rewarding.
I look forward to being a part of Kanuka’s journey and am proud to work for a company that “walks it’s talk’.
