Last Friday, Tohu and Wakatū kaimahi (employees) gathered to celebrate Te Wiki o te reo Māori and enjoy a tree planting day. Te Wiki o te reo Māori is an annual celebration for all New Zealanders to show their support for the Māori language, an official language of Aotearoa. It was a fun-filled morning of learning and enjoying a few games to practice our te reo Māori. Afterwards, the team picked up their gloves and shovels and enjoyed a day of native planting at Parehuaiti, a piece of land (once a vineyard) close to our Whenua Awa vineyard. We planted 700 plants, a combination of Ngaio and Kānuka, seed-sourced from our lands and nursed to small plants at a nursery in Rangiora. This collective effort is a testament to our commitment to giving back to the land that nurtures us and, most importantly, take joy in whanaungatanga (kinship, friendship) as we spent time together in the sunshine. The theme for Te Wiki 2024 is ‘Ake ake ake – A Forever Language’. It represents the resilience, adaptability and endurance of our language.

Traditional Silat still has a lot of catching up to do in Europe, it is a misconception that Pencak Silat & Silat are just techniques and langkahs (foot work) Silat is about friendship and harmony and contains four aspects. Culture and custom are an important part of Silat, they are the pillars of the identity of Pencak Silat & Silat. UNESCO has registered Pencak Silat and Silat because of the cultural aspect of Silat. There are people who go on vacation to the Nusantara Region and discover and train Silat, upon their return they are trainers or even teachers (Guru). Being a Guru involves great responsibility and skill. In addition, attitude to life is essential. Ilmu Padi is a must , be humble and place yourself in the middle of the Silat family, people who place themselves above it will fall hard. We must be vigilant in Europe and preserve Silat as it is meant to be, if we don't I am afraid Traditional Silat will disappear in Europe, that would be a shame.

E Ola! is KS' Curricular Framework, or set of learner outcomes grounded in kuana ʻike Hawaiʻi (Native Hawaiian perspectives), and our enterprise-wide identity. To help employees understand E Ola! and how we should be applying it in our daily work, the Legal/HR group planned Lunch & Learn sessions to "unpack", or dig into, the outcomes which are the Learners' Strong Foundation. Today we talked about kūpono, which in the context of E Ola! is defined as "honorable character founded on Hawaiian and Christian values". Employees and haumāna (students) are encouraged to uphold kūpono through actions such as extending aloha to others, taking responsibility for their actions, caring for others and themselves, and making ethical decisions. We shared examples of how we practice (either regularly or recently) kūpono by cooking for our ʻohana, bringing a meal to an elderly neighbor, having compassion for others, or simply by being kind to a stranger. The "Law of the Splintered Paddle" is a famous story about Kamehameha ʻEkahi which can be related to the principle of kūpono. Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/gWUmfiPA #kūpono #EOla #learneroutcomes #values #hawaiianperspectives #hawaiianidentity #companyculture #kamehamehaschoolscareers

💡Day 2: Brahmacharini - Knowledge and Learning💡 "Day 2 of Navaratri: Reflecting on Knowledge with Brahmacharini " As we honor *Brahmacharini*, the goddess of knowledge and learning, I’m reminded of the importance of continuous education in our careers. In tech, the landscape is always changing, and staying curious helps us grow. Here are a couple of thoughts: - 💡Lifelong Learning: Embracing new tools and languages can open doors. I’ve found that each small learning step builds a stronger skill set. - 💡Mentorship and Guidance: Seeking mentors or collaborating with peers enriches our knowledge. It’s inspiring to learn from those with experience. 💡 Reflection: What’s one recent lesson or skill you’ve learned that has impacted your journey? #Navaratri #Knowledge #Brahmacharini #ContinuousLearning #TechJourney

It's been a challenging, fun, intriguing and humbling experience being back (part-time) in the classroom these past 18-months. Learning te reo Māori has always been on my bucket list, and although difficult to juggle in amongst the current chaos of mahi and whānau life, it's been well worth it. With a love for languages, it just felt right that I find the time to take on this wero (challenge), and it been a wonderful journey connecting with new people from around the motu. It's fair to say it's opened up a whole new world, as I have added knowledge on tikanga, (culture/customs), history, tangata whenua and a simplified, holistic approach of life to my kete. It simply resonates. And with the latest political controversies surrounding the full acceptance of our native tongue, it fuels my fire to work even harder to ensure this te reo ātaahua (beautiful language) is no longer left behind. So, despite the challenges, I will try my best to continue with learning te reo Māori, committing to this as a never-ending journey of learning & discovery. Moreover, I want to set a strong example to my tamahine (daughters) that Māori is for all New Zealanders, the learning of which is a privilege and one which should be not only embraced, but celebrated. All said and done: I am still very much in my learning phase, and have a long way to go (certificated Level 2, now onto Level 3/4). My mistakes come thick and fast - but are smoothed over in the company of my daughters (who are learning through their kura (school) and the ever-growing community of people willing to show their aroha & commitment to this beautiful language. Kia kaha te reo Māori! #TeReoMāori #alwayslearning #mondaycreativenz #TeReoĀtaahua #TeAoMāori #akonga

Good training v bad training experience It is very nice to get feedback from the people you are working with. “Hi Bartie, The feedback from the team is excellent. They guys were very impressed with your training and your knowledge. One of the guys said, “it was the best training they ever received”, we thank you for that. Thanks again, and we look forward to working with you again in the future” My response “ Thanks for the positive feedback, always nice to hear, I am a strong believer, if people are relaxed and are enjoying the training, they can achieve great results quickly, which benefits everyone” As a trainer, I believe it is my job first and foremost to get the group to enjoy the training, and this takes a special set of skills, that no degree or training can create, you either have a good way with people or you don’t It should be a privilege to work with people in training and to be part of their journey in getting them to a higher level than they are, but so many people have poor experience from training, let it be in School, college, private training and compulsory training. This has such a negative impact on people’s lives and put so many people off going back to adult education. This is a real pity, as the right adult education course and tutor can have great benefits for you. #Motivation, #Work #Wellbeing #BartieCash, #emloyees #employer #company #compaines #mindset #wages, #https://lnkd.in/duAyipW #companymotivation #businessmotivation #company #HR #Humenresource #JohnDeere #JCB #KhunGroup #GEAGroup #AGCOCorporation #AustralianAgriculturalCompany, #CLAAS #CNHindustrial #Kubota #MaloneFarmMachinery #Liebherr #McCloskey #Terex #Newholland #Kverneland #Krone #Poettinger #Grimme #Amazone #Horsch #Lemken #Vaderstad # MaschioGaspardoGroup #McHale #Mining #Volvo #Toyota #Sandvik
