2025 MIT - KPMG HUI #3

I always look forward to our hui at KPMG — Justine welcomed us warmly and spent the day quietly guiding, encouraging, and challenging us with thoughtful feedback. As always, we were spoiled with delicious kai and an inspiring space designed for collaboration and creativity that is Rangiātea Infinity Room.

Another highlight was catching up with my MIT peers and being mentored by Matt and Dorothy as we worked on our projects bringing thiem to fruitition.

The kaupapa for today is to put together our our presentations to showcase our projects using the Pecha Kucha format.

A Pecha Kucha presentation is a fast-paced format where you present 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds, creating a concise and engaging six-minute-and-40-second talk.

We were fortunate to be able to watch the presentations of former MIT colleagues (and Matt!) for inspiration. Next, I made a start on my planning document and Pecha Kucha slides for the upcoming MIT On The Road Tour and the 2025 Principals' Wānanga.

To be honest the 20-second timer definitely added a bit of pressure! It has forced me to be concise with what I wanted to say, to cut out the 'waffle talk'.

My next steps are to go home, keep working on the Pecha Kucha presentation - working through each slide, making sure that I do justice in showcasing my project AND that I am on point and concise in getting my message across.
