✨Better work stories: Empowering Pacific Leaders at the Emerging Leaders Forum ✨

What an inspiring three days with 23 dynamic leaders and emerging leaders from across the Pacific, at the ONOC - Oceania National Olympic Committees Equity Commission Emerging Leaders Forum. It was a privilege to be part of the facilitation team alongside Alysha Jensen, guided by the incomparable Robyn Cockburn, one of the most skilled facilitators in the field.

Together, we:

▶️Shared valuable knowledge
✅Created an inclusive space where everyone’s voice mattered
▶️Tackled shared challenges head-on
✅Collaborated to find solutions
▶️Crafted action plans tailored to each nation’s needs
✅Reaffirmed that Safe Sport is a human right for all through powerful safeguarding insights

A huge thank you to my incredible colleagues at the New Zealand Olympic Committee for their hard work behind the scenes, and to the International Olympic Committee – IOC Solidarity Funding for making this forum possible.

The ability to manage your emotions while under pressure is directly linked to how well you perform.

The ability to mange your emotions is a performance skill. All performance skills can be learnt.

Courageous minds are made. Create yours.

This is how hard little Lex would have laughed if you told her one day she would be learning another language and actually would be enjoying it and is now starting to string a sentence or two together. AND I AM fam!

Spelling very well and learning a language had always been off the cards for me or so I had told myself over and over for decades. And they really were while I thought that way.

Have since upgraded and changed the story I tell myself about spelling and learning a new language and definitely have observed the change in practice. If we think we can we can (even if the beginning feels so so hard and that it feels we are making no progress), I PROMISE IF YOU KEEP GOING IT WILL START TO FEEL GOOD. Remember if we think we can't. We really can't.

What new things are you doing that you didn't believe was possible before?
