Episode Description
Introducing Ivan Tava
“It’s about the process, not just the outcome. It's the journey, not just the goal.”
Ivan Tava grew up in the South Island - Te Waipounamu - and that experience has really shaped him.
He continues to serve the people of Te Waipounamu today. In the daytime, he leads the development of PWC's consulting team. At night and during the weekends, he puts his energy into serving his people as part of the Pacific Data Sovereignty Network.
In today’s episode, he takes us on a journey through his cultural roots to help you understand how to better serve Māori and Pasifika whānau.
Ivan has some hard-hitting messages about how you treat your brown staff within your own organisation. If you cannot connect with your brown staff, you will not connect with their communities.
In today's episode you'll learn:
- How to connect with your Māori and Pasifika staff (and how not to treat them!)
- What to do with your privileged position to support the aspirations of your Māori and Pasifika staff
- How to honour the sovereignty of data about Pacific peoples.
