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.

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.
