About us
Tū Māia designs and delivers programmes, experiences and opportunities that inspire, challenge and grow our people. We specialise in leadership, innovation and venture development of all kinds: for profit, social enterprise and kaupapa driven. Our aim is to transform our communities by growing talent at multiple levels so that our communities are not reliant on the ‘vital few’ but have a growing pool of ‘committed many’. The kaupapa that we immerse ourselves in are personal. We firmly believe that no one else has an obligation to grow our people but ourselves. This is a fundamental issue that matters most to our collective future

“We don't ask of our whānau, behaviour we can't show ourselves”Cazna.

We ask out loud ‘why not?’
Front of house we make sure everyone is ‘right’ and manage the ‘left field’ behind the scenes
We know many of our whānau realities but don’t presume to speak for them.
We create a space so that everyone’s voice can be heard and seen.
We create trust by humbling ourselves and delivering. When we engage with whanau – we don’t let them down and similarly we don’t set them up.
We contribute heartfeltness without any expectation of reverence.
We show courage by making ourselves vulnerable, by telling our own stories, by exposing our own fears, by smiling on our successes with grace.
We communicate with care and host with humbleness.
We encourage whānau to fly, we straight up recognise their whakama and fear and help them put it to one side for a few days.
Regardless of size, each event feels like a highly personalised experience. We appoint dedicated connects whose sole role is to manaaki and grow the confidence of the whānau participants.
We go the extra mile to make sure whanau have the right tools and supports around them to participate and flourish.
