For the moments when getting it right is not optional.
When a leader uses te reo Māori in public, every word is visible. These services prepare executives, spokespeople, and senior leaders to speak with accuracy and confidence, in the exact context they are preparing for.
DESIGNED FOR
The individuals who carry your organisation’s language reputation publicly.
A CEO opening an AGM. A board chair delivering a welcome. A spokesperson in a media appearance. A team leader opening every meeting with karakia. These are not small moments, and the preparation behind them should not be either. We work with people who want to get it right, not just get through it.
THE OFFERINGS
Two ways to prepare for your next public moment.
For senior leaders, spokespeople, or board chairs who use Māori in speeches, AGMs, media appearances, or public meetings. We review recordings of your existing language use or work with you live, identifying mispronunciations and hesitation points. You receive a personalised written guide with audio reference files you can return to before any public moment.
Pronunciation Audit for Leaders
-
Receive a written pronunciation guide tailored to your specific language use, audio reference files for each word or phrase, a summary of focus areas, and recommended next steps if further practice would help.
-
$800 to $1,200 + GST depending on scope.
Includes written guide and audio reference file. Delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams.
For professionals preparing for a specific public moment. Opening with karakia. Introducing yourself in Māori at a board meeting or community gathering. We work through your exact context, shape language that fits your role and your relationships, and leave you with a personalised guide and pronunciation reference you can return to any time.
Karakia and Introductions
-
$750 + GST per session.
Up to three participants per session. 90 minutes, delivered via Microsoft Teams.
Built around your exact context, not a generic script.
You send us a brief description of who you are, what you are preparing for, and any existing language you use or would like to use. We review it before the session so we arrive prepared, and we spend the time on your specific needs rather than ground you do not need. After the session you receive your written guide and audio reference files within two working days.
Practical details to help you move forward with confidence.
THE DETAILS
-
No. The Karakia and Introductions session is designed for people at any starting point, including those with no prior knowledge at all. The Pronunciation Audit is better suited to those who are already using some Māori language publicly and want it refined.
-
Up to three participants per Karakia and Introductions session. If you have a larger group, please get in touch and we will work out the right format for you.
-
Ongoing language direction fits naturally into the Partner Retainer, which includes advisory access throughout the year. Enquire to talk through what would suit your organisation.
-
Yes. Both services are available to individuals booking independently, particularly useful for professionals who want personal preparation outside of a workplace course.
