Whakarongo ki te tangi i ngā manu e karanga nei
Listen to the call of the tui
Do you…?
- Recognise the inequities and prejudices in our society and feel motivated to make this right.
- Have a desire to connect meaningfully with others working within communities to affect change, and you see potential for collaboration.
- Know there is a need for new ways of seeing, doing and being if we are able to lead well, and you’re keen to explore that further.
- Want to slow down and learn how to listen carefully to your inner voice, to the call of our time, to play to your strengths and move in response
- Want to create a vision for your life/work and develop sustainable strategies to achieve it
Join the Leadership Incubator 2025/6 journey this year…
LinC Leadership Incubator is an engaging personal development journey that supports leaders who want to grow equitable and thriving communities. It helps leaders to step away from their day-to-day demands, reflect deeply on their lives and work, and build the personal foundations of leadership to achieve work and community outcomes.
LinC Leadership Incubator runs for 9 months with a team of 36 participants that starts at the time of Matariki (June), a time of new beginnings.
It is an inclusive programme that holds space for Te Tiriti, equity and community development by helping leaders to:
- Step out of ‘autopilot’ and conduct a strategic review of their life/work experience.
- Clarify their strengths/values and connect with their life/work purpose.
- Form a personal action plan to achieve the vision of their future life/work/community leadership.
- Create space for peer reflection and bring new perspectives to their leadership challenges and opportunities.
- Connect meaningfully with others working in communities to affect change and seek potential for collaboration
- What it involves… your opportunities

Cost
The LinC Leadership Incubator programme is heavily subsidised by generous sponsors.
We ask that each participant contribute $500 towards the cost of providing the programme.
However, we do not want cost to be a limiting factor, so a few scholarships are available and will be considered in the application process.
