MY PROCESS
-
Following our 30-minute virtual kōrero, I will provide you with a proposal including an estimated quote. Upon agreement on the proposal, a 50% deposit will be necessary to proceed with the next steps. Please visit FAQ to find out about what costs are involved in the quote
-
Engaging with participants:
Active involvement from participants during the planning phase is crucial for a successful event.
Therefore, once the deposit has been received, the next step will involve introducing myself to the participants through email and sharing a survey with them.
The survey responses will form the basis for shaping the agenda/s.
If the expectations of the participants go beyond the original agreement outlined in the proposal, we will have a discussion about it, and I will provide recommendations accordingly.
The survey will include questions like:
What is the topic of discussion and what makes this an issue worth talking about?
Who will be affected by this change? Who needs to participate in this kōrero?
What practical/tangible result will you need at the end of this engagement? and when?
What thinking and decisions are required to make this engagement successful?
What experience would you like to have throughout this engagment?
-
Once the agenda/s have been finalised I will start the preparation for delivery. Facilitation tools, techniques, and a Te Ao Māori approach will be carefully selected to create the workshop experience
If necessary, logistics such as venue, travel for participants, catering, and koha for guest speakers/mana whenua will need to be arranged by your organisation -
After the workshops are completed, I will offer a survey to gather feedback on the session and then provide a summary of the workshop during a debrief session.
