Quotes from 2023

TE AO EARTH WEEK : GŌ WAITAHA BUSINESS EVENT

Speaker:

“Speaking today at the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre for the Terra Nova Foundation Te Ao Earth Business event was an absolute honour.
As leaders, we all have an opportunity AND responsibility to elevate and prioritise the planet. Degradation, climate change and other challenges are critical existential threats.  The lens you choose to see the problems through will dictate the outcome for humanity.”

(James Laughlin, International Leadership Expert, source: LinkedIn)

Participant:

“What an absolute privilege to be with Rose Challies and the incredible team at Terra Nova Foundation who have been smashing it with a host of cool events in Ōtautahi as part of Te Ao earth week. Today I was a humble observer, listener and learner from some of the greatest hearts and minds in Waitaha and Aotearoa, all focussed on the possibilities and putting Papatūānuku first. Mauriora to that!”

(Leonie Matai, Sector Leader, source: LinkedIn)

Participant:

“One outstanding highlight for me last week was attending the GŌ Waitaha Business Leaders event in support of Te Ao Earth Week in Christchurch. This annual event is for people who care about the planet and want to make a difference across business innovation, community leadership and the environment. Organised by leading social and sustainability advocate Rose Challies of the Terra Nova Foundation, the content-packed programme featured sustainability thought-leaders such as Climate Change Commission chairperson Rod Carr, leading economist Shamubeel Eaqub and leadership coach James Laughlin.”
