EDJE KAUPAPA

The Pounamu manawa (greenstone heart) is at the centre of our framework and acknowledges the inherent beauty, mana and potential of our natural resources. When pounamu is crafted (shaped, carved, polished), it transforms into an even more prized taonga (gift). When we work with clients, it is our belief that they too can discover the taonga that is within them, to recognise and fully develop their potential.
The surrounding mātāpono (principles) are whakamana, kotahitanga, whakapono and manaakitanga.
Surrounding the mātāpono are additional pillars that ground our practice to relevant frameworks, contexts and communities to bring about successful outcomes for individual and organisations.
- Whanaungatanga: interconnected relationships;
- Koha: the reciprocal act of gifting and receiving what is needed;
- Āhurutanga: physical, emotional and spiritual safety;
- Mauri ora: holistic wellbeing


WHAKAMANA
Acknowledges individuals as experts of themselves and thus, the birth place of the taonga within. We welcome the diversity of each individual as they begin a journey of growth to fully develop their potential.

WHAKAPONO
Is demonstrated by our commitment to ethical practice when coaching and training, and ensuring we are up to date with current research, attend regular Professional Development and are members of affiliated training bodies.

MANAAKITANGA
Is the warm, respectful and non-judgemental space in which EDJE conducts our training and coaching, offering clients a sense of belonging and connection as they build awareness and understanding of how to thrive.

KOTAHITANGA
Is the shared language and framework of strengths that celebrates the complexity, diversity and uniqueness of individuals offering greater understanding of how to collaborate and build complementary teams.

Our Journey
As a human race, we are hard-wired to embrace social connection, which is enacted through the relationships we engage in.
Our journey in the fields of education, nursing, management and volunteering in community organisations in service to others, has led us to believe that rich reciprocal relationships are the birth-place for collaboration and self-determination in the pursuit of mauri-ora (well-being).
We help people to find their own potential and identify their own strengths in order to evolve, empower and enrich their lives.
