With your food basket and my food basket,
the people will thrive.

Navigating the opportunities between people and place.

My consulting practice brings to life more than 20+ years of experience in strategy, culture, and leadership development. As a consultant, facilitator and coach, you'll see future thinking, workplace complexity, and development through a Te Ao Māori lens feature strongly in my design and delivery. Central to my approach is the belief in development that focuses on the synergy between individuals and their environment.

I am deeply passionate about mahi that supports equity and inclusion and improves outcomes for whānau and community.

I partner with you to design tailored solutions for organisational growth, streamlined operations and a competitive edge.

I work with leaders and teams to develop essential skills to develop high-performing environments and foster innovation.

I work with you to cultivate a positive, inclusive environment where employees thrive, collaboration flourishes and productivity soars.

Introducing Whakawhitinga:
Working in Partnership

I am co-founder of Whakawhitinga, a consulting partnership anchored in Māori values designed to improve outcomes for whānau and communities through championing diverse and inclusive leadership across Aotearoa.

As a partnership, we see our role as supporting and uplifting internal capabilities so that our clients create the habits and practices to sustain important mahi long after we have finished our work together. My colleagues and I are highly skilled at building engagement and alignment that enables organisations to execute their strategic intent and achieve their goals. 

Whakawhitinga holds the sense of a journey—a transition or crossing to a new way of knowing. Through partnership and accountability, people and connections, and a focus on future-fit progression, we see our work as an experience that will serve the people and place in which we collectively operate.

The logo shows the poutama pattern, known as the stairway to heaven in Māori weaving. Poutama has strong educational and spiritual significance. The stepping pattern represents progression and ascent to higher levels of achievement and progress, as well as the constant pursuit of improvement.

Together, these tell the story of who we are and what we aspire to achieve.

  • "I really appreciate the way Ange prepares and personalises our workshop experiences. She keeps us focused and motivated."

  • "Fabulous facilitation! Thank you for giving us the opportunity for self reflection and insight in to our team dynamics. You help us to step up and thrive."

  • "You put powerful ideas in to the mix, and then facilitate conversations that help us reach our own solutions. Masterful."

Get in touch.
