E Tū Tāngata

"We have a good reputation. New Zealanders are generally known as: friendly, hardworking and laid back. But live here for a while and you’ll also discover we have a bad habit of criticising one another. This criticism can range from good-natured ribbing amongst friends to brutal slurs towards strangers on social media and everything in between.

Otherwise known as the Tall Poppy Syndrome, this culture of criticism is so entrenched in our society that individuals self-deprecate in order to beat others to the punch (so to speak). We have become our own harshest critic and we live with the erroneous belief that, somehow, your success is a threat to mine.

But just because something is, doesn’t mean it should be.

E Tū Tāngata is an initiative focussed on turning our culture of criticism around. Empowering you to build a culture where every person is valued. "
