Kāhui Kōrero | Staff Blog

Nau mai ki te pae kōrero o Kāhui Tautoko Consulting – welcome to our staff blog where we hope to keep everyone entertained with what we get up to.

Being part of indigenous development around the globe means we are continually challenging and exploring the depths of conventional wisdom to turn it on its head and find relevant and manageable solutions for Indigenous communities. We are privileged to work for and with our Native brothers and sisters from around the Pacific. Our many interactions with clients across various organisations from different countries have helped us develop to better serve the Indigenous communities we work with. This corner is about connecting our whānau or families with we’ve been up to.

Sit back and enjoy the different reflections of our staff as we share our learnings and stories with you all.
