JASE TE PATU – TedX speaker, award-winning wellbeing and mental health advocate
Jase Te Patu is on a mission to positively influence the wellbeing and mental health of New Zealand’s workplaces, schools and communities – with his students including the All Blacks and the Hurricanes, and many more high profile companies and high performance athletes.
When we are feeling strong, this strength feeds into our relationships, interactions and workplace culture. The paradigm that taking care of ourselves first is selfish, is changing, and we can embrace this in ourselves and in our workplaces.
Now more than ever, and especially in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, taking care of our own wellbeing is a must! In this session, Jase will break down the Maori model of Hauora – Te Whare Tapa Wha, to help individuals, teams and workplaces thrive from taking care of their holistic wellbeing. You can expect to come away armed with the tools to create a self-care plan, implementable immediately – to strengthen your physical, mental, emotional and social wellness – to take care of yourself, and in turn, others.
SUZI MCALPINE – Leadership expert and author
We often don’t talk about the journey to burnout, or see the signs, until it’s too late – and we’re looking in the rear vision mirror. What if we could change the trajectory of this journey and rather than burnout, we flourish?
The World Health Organisation has just last year upgraded the classification of burnout to an occupational syndrome, which is a big deal. Not only is burnout affecting employees’ health, it’s also costing us billions globally in lost productivity, absenteeism, turnover and low engagement in organisations, as well as spiraling healthcare costs.
In this eye opening session, Suzi will share her insights and groundbreaking NZ and Australian research to look at burnout through a leadership lens to share

In a time when financial stress is at an all time high, affecting employess regardless of job title or income, Hannah will address:

As a senior executive with 20 years’ experience, David is well versed in leadership and the importance of knowing yourself.

David’s presentation is full of optimism and inspiration, with thoughts on the impact of humour and positive psychology along the way – with detours into resilience and the power of control.
In this inspirational presentation, David will show you how you can overcome the unexpected and the uncertain with courage and determination.

SUE KOHN-TAYLOR, Wellbeing and personal development coach
Statistics don’t lie. We’re more stressed, overworked, overweight and less healthy than ever before. Yet we get up day after day and repeat our unhealthy behavioural patterns, regardless of whether they are serving us.
The modern world is becoming more and more stressful, and the rate of change is massive in today’s environment. How we interact personally and do business requires us to be more agile and flexible. We need a resilient skillset – with mental fitness being vital.
