Too many of our senior leaders are already burnt out but are still showing up to work every day... and nights and weekends tbh! 

Our mission is to support senior leaders and their teams to get and stay well, perform well, and create environments for others to be well (at home and at work). 

Kānuka Wellbeing and Leadership is a bicultural organisation founded by Steve Hersey and Wiremu Matthews.  

Wiremu Matthews brings a wealth of expertise and experience in personal development and team leadership, as well as a range of wellbeing areas.  

Steve's leadership experience centres on nurturing profound integrity and fundamental character strength in leaders.

Together they bring a unique lens to wellbeing and leadership, from both Māori and Pākehā worlds. 

Kānuka’s programmes are firmly rooted in te ao Māori principles, offering a distinct Aotearoa approach that prioritises whanaungatanga, a dedication to collaboration, and a culture of celebration.  

This fosters an environment where clients say they feel safe to express vulnerability, address unspoken issues, and confront obstacles hindering improved performance and resilience.  

We emphasise the need to “be a good kaitiaki of yourself first, so you can better manaaki others.” We start with an inside-out approach, and then support leaders to nurture a better ‘outside’ environment for others in their team to flourish.
