Martine Hartley-Parsons

Martine emigrated to New Zealand from England as a youngster. She was always aware that they were different and says, “We were not a Wattie’s family. We didn’t really belong”. She noticed differences and inequities, particularly how potential could languish because of discrimination and marginalisation. She draws on the knowledge, skills and experience she developed as a senior people leader, capability development manager and social work practitioner to offer solutions that maximise pito mata - potential. You can expect Martine to ask you some probing questions as she helps you draw out your thinking and your ideas. She’s a fan of doing this over a long black.
