About This Event

What this is

The One is a two-day generative learning environment which extends and stretches participants, resulting in an increased capacity to communicate, lead and effect change.

Although many people report shifts in their motivation after the event, it is not a motivational, ‘ra-ra’ experience. The purpose of the two days is to open up your range of effectiveness, and capacity to impact the areas that matter to you. Those areas may be personal, professional, family or community. Most people report big shifts across a wide range of domains in their life.

The process we use

The process we use is based in a generative learning framework, where teaching becomes the process of leading learners to use their own generative processes to construct new understandings & meanings and create new plans of action that affect their lives.

Why generative learning

This style of learning is designed to bring information out of the learner rather than direct information at them. By doing this, people are able to see situations from a fresh perspective.

Generative thinking encourages investigational learning, inquiry and discovery. In this way the learner is more likely to generate a new depth to their thinking & new results.

“The shifts Ive had have been essential for my social impact work. I led an event with 100 people for the first time. My communication has shifted and I’m able to redirect conversations as needed.”

— Gemma Peacock

Feedback from people three months later

  • "The shift in my communication has been huge"

    “I'm able to advocate for and negotiate things now that I would’ve never allowed myself to do before. In the past I would’ve blocked myself from speaking up at that level. There’s been a shift in my thinking where I'm seeing more. Its like my thinking has been freed up. The shift in my communication has been huge and I'm no longer overthinking and so my decision making is quicker, and I’m able to zoom out and see a bigger picture these days which allows me to get out of controlling all the stuff I used to get so stuck in.”

    - Lena Redman. Youth Mental Health Educator

  • "It's been tripping me out all the changes that’ve happened since

    “So much has happened in a short period of time. I've lost 15 kgs, got employee of the month, and I've even started repairing family relationships. At work I'm speaking up and am sharing ideas that will benefit the whole team. On a personal level, I'm letting my family know what I'm thinking and feeling without being aggressive. I’ve been able to have conversations that I've avoided for a lifetime. My confidence has gone up hugely, and for the first time in my life, I'm actually feeling proud of myself.”

    - Bryanna Witehira, Retail Assistant

  • "The shifts Ive had have been essential for my social impact work"

    “I led an event with 100 people for the first time and the negative self talk feels like such a non issue for me now. My communication has shifted and I’m able to redirect conversations as needed. There’s been a shift in my boundaries thats totally new. Boundaries are now unapologetically easy. Another huge shift is that Im no longer seeing people as above me - and because of that, Im able to be a whole lot more immediate and effective in moving things forward”

    - Gemma Peacock, Operations Manager

  • "All schools need to be sending their staff to do this work

    “As an Assistant Principal I’m seeing massive shifts in the level and quality of my own leadership at school. My communication is at a whole new level. Before the event I hadn’t understood how to raise up leadership around me, and so I ran around solving everyones problems for them. I was exhausted and things weren’t shifting. Now Im able to see and respond to things in a really different way, and Im seeing the impact of that not only with our staff, but also the feedback that Im hearing from the parents I’m liaising with”

    - Trish Haronga, Assistant Principal

  • “It gets me a little emotional when I think about all the shifts

    “I used to have ways to divert the attention off of myself and onto others, so I got good at hiding. Since The One those that’s shifted a lot. I’m now speaking up when I feel I need to speak, my confidence has grown, and Im seeing the results of that in my business - I’ve got more clients, more bookings to run workshops and more guest speaking opportunities. All people, and especially wahine in New Zealand need to do this.”

    - Jodie Reed, Rongoa Practitioner

  • "I cant thank the two of you enough, it’s been such a catalyst for change"

    I’ve had such huge shifts in my communication and confidence. My communication is straight and direct and I’m seeing the results of that with my clients. With my family I’m able to listen deeper and hear feedback in a way I would’ve felt uncomfortable with before. And my business is humming along now because I’m not holding myself back on any level.

    I talk to everyone I can about The One and what its done for me, thats how big it was.

    - Lisa Barnard, Parenting Facilitator

  • "I’m no longer overworking, am more efficient with that time and getting better results"

    Before the event I felt like I was swimming in mud all the time and was burnt out. I’m no longer overworking, am more efficient with that time and getting better results. My wellbeing has improved and my systems are better. I’ve strengthened my own self leadership, and I’m seeing the results of that in many places.

    I led a large hui just days after The One, and the nerves I’d been having were gone. If I hadn’t have done The One, I wouldn’t have been as confident and sure of myself. The outcome was hugely positive.

    - Sarah Orr, Regional Manager

  • "Powerful. Huge"

    “There’s shifts for myself on so many different layers. Relationships with my wife, my children, with my extended family. With myself and things that I want to achieve. And having the balls to actually be myself and not run away from challenges that perhaps I’ve run away from in the past and actually tackle them head on.”

    - Joel Freeman - Property Developer & Franchise Owner

The training style is so different to anything I’ve ever experienced before.
