You’ve looked back. You’ve found your why. You’ve got clarity on your values. Now what?
You move. And not just by yourself. You move with others. That’s the kind of leadership I believe in. Not solo journeys. Collective ones. He waka eke noa.
Sometimes we sit with our reflections and think that’s the mahi done. But insight without action doesn’t shift anything. Real change happens when we share what we’ve learned, when we invite others into the process, and when we roll up our sleeves together.
This is the time to check in. Who needs to be in the room? Who hasn’t been heard? Where can you use your voice to hold space or open doors?
You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment. Take the small steps. Share the kōrero. Make the invitation. Be the one who says, “let’s do this together.”
Your leadership isn’t just about you. It’s about the ripple effects. So reflect, yes. But then turn that reflection into movement. Into kaupapa. Into action that uplifts everyone around you.
