The Conversations You’re Avoiding Are Costing You.

(Not just outcomes — but your peace of mind.)

* You lie awake replaying how it might go wrong

* You plan what to say 20 times—and still don’t say it

* You overthink their reaction before it even starts

* You tell yourself it’s “not the right time”… again

* You finally speak up… but nothing changes

* You beat yourself afterward —again

What Leaders Are Saying About Connecting Kōrero

From day one to week four, the shifts are real — and lasting.

Packed with practical tools I can use in all areas of life. The prep work has completely shifted how I approach kōrero—and the frameworks have made me feel 100x more confident.

Hope Singh

Connecting Kōrero changed the game for me! No more overthinking, no more stressing—I’ve learned how to approach tough kōrero with confidence, protect my mana, and actually create better outcomes (without the awkwardness or regret).

It’s a toolkit for life. If you want to feel more grounded and calm in conversations—wherever you work, and even in the tricky ones at home—I highly recommend it.

Pritika Singh-Nand

Knowing what you expect, what you’ll accept, and learning to articulate it clearly—and early—has been a game changer. The tools gave us structure, and Kānuka’s coaching helped our management team feel safe stepping up to have the conversations that needed to happen.

Pam Smith

This course gave me powerful strategies for having connecting kōrero with my colleagues. I can already see the impact—and I’ll be recommending it to my team and manager. The more of us using these tools, the easier it’ll be to shift our kaupapa together.

Kim Tanner

The content was clear and concise—but applying it was a challenge after following old habits for so long. I’ve gained a lot of insight into myself and the barriers I’d unknowingly put in my own way. Now, I can be a better version of me—at home, at work, and with the people I care about.

Desrian Lomax-Davie 

Truly enlightening. The course gave me practical strategies to improve—and affirmed the value of what I’m already doing. It was encouraging to see my current approach reflected and supported.

Ra Hohepa

Connecting Kōrero was empowering and gave me a real sense of mana. It shaped my wairua and deepened my connections with colleagues, whānau, and friends. The tools transformed how I communicate—guiding me to speak with intention, empathy, and authenticity.

Lisa McGrath

I can be cynical of courses especially over the years, but I can honestly say I have enjoyed every day I have been part of this. 

Jackie Long

I jumped into Connecting Kōrero because I was avoiding tough conversations—breakups, new relationships, even death. The program made it easy to practice, with simple strategies for setting the scene, staying curious, and regulating emotions. I’m now calmer, more willing to have these conversations, and grateful for the Kānuka team’s support. Ngā mihi.

Shanandore Brown

I’d recommend Connecting Kōrero to whānau, hapū, and iwi. In just 4 weeks, I’ve learnt more than in a lifetime – and that’s a long time!  Life experience helps, but this course puts it into action – with totally relevant, practical resources.

Kessie Kohu

This was exactly what I needed. I saw results after week one, which made me excited to keep going. The short videos were fun, efficient, and packed with value. I’d highly recommend this course and plan to embed the learning into every connecting kōrero from now on—imagine if everyone knew this stuff, how much happier we’d all be!

Pamela Barke

I’m the kind of person who keeps to myself in conversation—I usually look, listen, and observe. But if something’s wrong, I’m not afraid to speak up. Because I’m straightforward, I sometimes step on people’s pride. This training gave me the tools to improve and transform into a better leader.

Lisa Taylor

Kānuka gave me tools I’ll carry into my future as kaimahi — tools to observe and act without judgement, in good times and tough ones. It helped me understand myself, how I react, and gave me the confidence to find my voice.

Robin Cooper

Trust them! Their approach is different—thoughtful, practical, and grounded in common sense. This isn’t just a course, it’s a life toolkit. Whether you’re in healthcare, leadership, community mahi, or just want to handle conversations better (yes, even the ones at the dinner table!)—I highly recommend it.

Sylvia Willison

Thank you for an excellent course. It helped me reframe those tricky conversations we all dread into opportunities to connect and work together. The resources were practical and in-depth without being overwhelming, and I learned just as much from others in the group as from the content. I’ve already recommended it to friends and colleagues—it’s been incredibly helpful, and I know I’ll keep coming back to the tools as I keep learning.

Lynette Leong 

Connecting Kōrero is an awesome programme that helps people bring out the best in each other to achieve shared goals. The framework was awesome—something I can apply every day, both personally and professionally. Ngā mihi ki a koutou e Kānuka Wellbeing and Leadership.

Roze Borell

Connecting Kōrero has been extremely beneficial in building my knowledge and confidence around courageous conversations and how not to shy away from them. I’m now far more prepared and in a much better mindset heading into the kōrero—while keeping everyone’s mana intact. The resources are excellent, and I’ll be keeping them close. I’d thoroughly recommend Wiremu and the team.
