"Not your average business course" is (thankfully) what we hear often from our students! Checkout these highlights from our finale pitch evening for Ideation, Launch & Grow (ILG) last week. And watch this space... some of these guys are ready to launch! The ideas, the presentations, the time, the effort, the growth and the potential. So proud of each and every student that made it through to the end! And again, another big thank you to our panel Rachel Evans, Ra Beazley & Sarah Colcord - y'all were amazing! Foundation North .... thank you for supporting SAYE on our journey and giving me something that I have to pinch myself for every day and rub the goosebumps off my skin seeing these results. www.saye.co.nz/apply 🎥 >> Zane from Mo + Co 🏢 >> Grid MNK #business #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #successEp7 The Corporate Experience FINALE

“The days of being a functional expert are over. Your ability to connect, show empathy and understand the problem you are trying to solve is imperative” - Craig Hudson, Managing Director, Xero Aotearoa. Love the changes we’ve managed to witness and be part of in the lives of these students. From a significant shift in their desire to pursue a career in this space, to understanding the value they bring ❤️ Seeing their eyes open up to the possibilities, their potential and the opportunities out there for them is priceless! 🙌🏼👌🏼 We’re always looking for future support and backing for our programme so we can continue to deliver and impact the lives of young people. If you know someone then please let them know and get in touch hello@saye.co.nz www.saye.co.nz 📸 Mo + Co #leadershipdevelopment #potential #growthmindset #personaldevelopementEp 6 The Corporate Experience Stress & Resilience

Ep6! Today’s environment has got a whole lot of things going on. Pressure from all angles. We discussed resilience and how to build it. Then challenged them with a different perspective on stress. The fact that it is not stress that is harmful but the belief of it being harmful that affects our health and well being! And then in the afternoon, we looked into the opportunities in the Corporate space ahead of taking a visit into the Xero offices next week! Excited about that! Looking forward to showing these young people how and why they deserve to be in that space and why their culture, community and upbringing is their strength!Ep 5 The Corporate Experience EQ

The confidence is rising. Their belief is increasing and they might just be enjoying themselves 😉😂 Happy Easter you lot... see ya Wednesday! ✝️❤️ Bit more communication skills then we went a little bit deep today with Manurewa High School .... It can be a dangerous place when we hold too many false beliefs about our emotions. We might believe that people will think I’m soft if I open up, or I should be able to handle it myself, I’m the only one that feels this way....all those false beliefs can lead to you not talking, bottling it up, depression and self harm. Identify those false beliefs and let them go! We’re preparing to head into the city to visit a corporate founded in New Zealand - that’s going to be exciting! Looking forward to showing these young people how and why they deserve to be in that space and why their culture, community and upbringing is their strength! We’re always looking for future support and backing for our programme so we can continue to deliver and impact the lives of young people.

It's finally here! Our first episode following the journey of our SAYE students. It was really important for us to make sure the value of our programme is extended beyond the class room and to the wider community. Watch, enjoy, and be sure to keep following our socials so you don't miss out! Our Meet & Greet night was an opportunity for students and facilitators to meet each other in a casual setting and hear a little bit more about what SAYE is all about from our founder, Jerome. All of this was made possible because of support from the likes of Foundation North & Manurewa Marae. Shoutout to NZMA for providing our first venue - amazing! So good to have organisations ready and keen to support our cause - thank you! Thanks Mo + Co for capturing our journey so perfectly!Ep 2 | ILG Self Awareness

To bring about real change, you really need to understand yourself! Strengths, weaknesses, what motivates you, drives you, what your default settings are - all of that good stuff! That's why we launched SAYE students into the depths of their self awareness journey in their first week! 😱😜 Watch as we follow our 'Ideation, Launch & Grow' students as they begin to understand why it is they do what they do! So good to hear them learning a whole lot AND having fun while they do it. While you're here - take the www.16personalities.com test and let us know in the comments what your result was and how accurate your profile is!Ep 3 | ILG Ideation

What does Twerking & Sniffing Butts have to do with Ideation?! 🤦♂️😂 We learnt about and uncovered those cognitive biases that many of us didn't know we had. Then we kicked off our judgement free zone - key to a successful ideation workshop! Those creative juices were flowing perfectly for our groups to come up with their innovative ideas 🤫 #shhhhEp 4 | ILG Communication Skills

Do you feel like you are constantly misunderstood? Does your body language line up with the words that come out of your mouth? If not, how you're being...Ep 5 | ILG Let's Negotiate

Even when all the car alarms start going off outside, the show must go on! After weeks of looking at each other through our computer screens it is so good to be back in the room together. We kicked off with recapping on stakeholder management and then honed in on our negotiation skills. To some, negotiation skills are not given a second thought, to others it is the key to their success - from salary increases to job offers, to getting that discount on your next purchase to closing that next big deal, it all comes back to being an effective negotiator - what's your default style?Ep 6 | ILG Presentation Skills 101

😱😱😱 time to get pushed a little bit further outside of your comfort zone.... PowerPoint Karaoke anyone? It's equally as awkward and just as daunting as its close cousin Karaoke, however, it's a great way to develop your credible fluency. Being able to easily transition between two seemingly unrelated topics is a skill any effective presenter or communicator should add to their tool belt.Ep 7 | ILG Presentation Prep

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough! That was what this week was all about. All teams got well into prep mode for their upcoming presentations. It's easy to come up with all the detail, the hard part is breaking it down in to a simple, clear and succint message, whilst keeping it highly engaging!Ep 8 | ILG The Presentations

Well done to all participants for not just completing the first rotation of ILG but also for navigating the 8 weeks over Zoom 🤦♂️😲. It was less than ideal, flipped the plans upside down, had to change it alllll up, but we got it done! Final Presentations ✔️ Anyone else "looking forward to" the next rotation? 😂 (You know Jerome will be 😂)SAYE Promo
