- Take advantage of any opportunity to help others or step into a leadership role at Te Pūkenga or in your workplace – whether it relates to wellbeing, culture, learning or something else, everyone has unique strengths to offer and valuable things to contribute.
“When I think of how I hope to lead my own life, the values of tika and pono are important. The ability to stand firm to decisions being made, to be honest and truthful, builds a community of trust that supports the holistic wellbeing of all people.”
