Next up Atawhai Tibble talking about 1990 cups of tea- it's about people

#LIANZA19

Strategies are fine but we need to connect at the individual level. #1000CupsOfTea

Hand, Land, Breathe, Stand - Hongi 101

Atawhai has the whole room giving their neighbours a good hongi ☺️

When the forehead touches we remember those no longer with us. As the nose touches we breathe and remember those with us.

Atawhai's whanau

1000 cups of tea - too much hui, not enough do-i
Some backstory - bit.ly/2oXjdZC Good things take time.

#MihiBeforeMahi is important

#HongiPlusKiss - we want to share breath, it is important.
We have ways of connecting that are really important to us.

#AlwaysLeaveKoha make sure the relationship is better when you leave than when you turned up.

#WHOmanynothowmany is what is most important when you are meeting with people #QualityNotQuantity

When we meet with Māori and Pasifika people connect with the right people

Don't rush off in the first flight, be respectful, listen well

#Teatoweltanga leaders don't just talk, but they also roll their sleeves up and get their hands "soapy"! if you are a guest, then no-one is going to invite you into the back of the kitchen. But if it's a small meeting, and you've got some time ...pick up a tea towel.)

Have some humility...
There are many other lessons. They all come from communities, mums and dads.

Good manners is not just a Māori thing, it's universal. We just need to remember what our mum taught us.
