Future Rakiura is born!

The Leadership Academy on Stewart Island was a roaring success! The 7 inspirational speakers ‘fired’ up the locals to dream and believe in the power of ‘doing’.
Some of what we heard included: –
- Penny Simmonds Chief Executive of the Southern Institute of Technology reminded us to never be frightened to dream big (she told us how the 0 fees idea was written on the back of a napkin on Stewart Island!) but to always take others with you! She also challenged us to not forget the power of collaboration and to have ‘Yes, and’ and ‘Yes, but’ conversations – to help us think outside the square.
