Mary Haddock-Staniland: 

Mary Haddock-Staniland, a vibrant and powerhouse wāhine!

Mary is a Global DEIB advocate, Aotearoa’s first C-Suite-level Chief People and Inclusion Officer, and an Ambassador for Lifeline, just to name a few!

This kōrero is truly incredible.
We kōrero about being a trans-women in Aotearoa, the difference between equality and equity, leaders showing up for their people, her mahi with Lifeline, being a hyper-curious human, ways to foster connection, why she doesn’t work with assholes- AND SO MUCH MORE!

A cup-filling kōrero and one we hope you enjoy!

But coming back? That’s a transition that can feel overwhelming—not just for the individual, but for the whole team.

Our panel kōrero is all about making workplace comebacks smoother, more supportive, and less daunting.
