TenforTen – our tenth anniversary podcast series
Leaders in conversation with CSI, share their wisdom, their perspective on our society, their mahi, and their hopes for the future.
Social impact grantmakers, funders and changemakers want to make a difference for our communities today and help shape a better future for the next generation. They inspire us with their insights and experiences, and their commitment to making our world a better place.
Over the ten years since CSI was founded, we have been privileged to work with many of the people who are making a difference in Aotearoa – and to kōrero with many more. To celebrate our tenth birthday, we are producing a podcast series, TenforTen, ten conversations that capture some of their wisdom, their perspective on our society, their mahi, and their hopes for the future.
Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell
Our first podcast features Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell talking to our associate and communications adviser, Robin Hickman. Te Aorangi is also a CSI associate in addition to being General Manager of Haemata, a Māori language, education and capability-building consultancy, and a board member of BayTrust.
Te Aorangi talks about being home-schooled in te reo. He then graduated from Waikato University with Bachelor of Management Studies (Hons), and the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Masters in Māori Language Excellence programme. Te Aorangi’s early ambition was to work in international finance, a potentially lucrative career, but not one where his te reo and knowledge of te ao Māori would be valued. He decided he wanted to put his commitment to the revitalisation of te reo at the centre of his life, so he changed his focus from international money markets and joined the family business, Haemata.
Alongside his Haemata work, Te Aorangi saw a need for youth voices and te ao Māori perspectives in governance, so qualified as a Chartered Member of the New Zealand Institute of Directors. Watch and listen to the interview below or on spotify here.
