20 years ago I started my own business consultancy Stratigi Turning 20 in business has been very reflective for me. Only 25% make it beyond 15 years and there’s been plenty of blood, sweat and tears along the way – and not always my own! 

So I’m a little bit older than Facebook, and a little bit younger than Fonterra!
I’m really proud of what I’ve done, what I do and the amazing people I’ve worked with along the way. 

Some things haven’t changed:

• My passion for helping Kiwi entrepreneurs grow and thrive

• My love for whānau and friends 

• My drive for getting sh*t done

• Holding up to my business and personal principles

Over the last 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of Kiwi businesses, and I’ve grown a lot. 

This is a HUGE milestone for me, so over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing some of the things I’ve learnt. Hopefully you’ll find a gem or two to take away with you!

As it’s 20 years in business, welcome to 20 days of content! Four weeks of daily content for you to enjoy and gain insight from! 

I’ll be posting a collection of short punchy videos, a few case studies highlighting brilliant people I’ve worked with, and there will be a few fun surprises, too. Be sure to look out for my giveaway! 

On top of that, you may notice that things are looking a bit different. (yes me but also our logo) While I was reflecting on the last two decades, I wanted to portray the core of what Stratigi is about so I’ve put together a brand story to explain more  - www.stratigi.com/brand-story

It’s about he hononga ki te taiao, a connection between nature and people, a holistic worldview built on whanaungatanga (relationships), tikanga, mātāpono (practices guided by values) and mātauranga (knowledge). 

If you don’t already, follow Stratigi on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and very, very soon… YouTube! 

A big mihi to every one of you who have contributed to my journey, I am truly thankful.
