We were delighted to support the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce for the fourth consecutive year as the Principal Sponsor of the Wellbeing Conference, and its Community Wellbeing Partner. With tickets sold out well before the event, and a wait list, it was testament to the value that the conference offers to local business and community.
The conference was a wonderful conduit for community to hear from impressive speakers like Sir Ashley Bloomfield who shared his thoughts about organisational team culture and how to look after ourselves, and our team’s wellbeing and mental health. He was joined by Dr Amanda Wallis, Dr Natalie Flynn, Jehan Casinader and Lisa Tamati, all of whom offered some unique insights and practical tips to enhance our wellbeing.
Paul Rangiwahia was a wonderful MC on the day and wove his unique well-being insights and tips seamlessly into proceedings with great humour and ease.
The surprise of the day was the presentation from Nigel Latta, who shared his very candid views on coping with a terminal cancer diagnosis and how he and his wife Dr Natalie Flynn were handling this traumatic news. He certainly made us all think about what is truly important in our busy lives and not taking things for granted. It was a privilege for us to listen to his heartfelt story.
At Beach we understand that community wellbeing is complex for a single organisation or local government to address. It takes a coalition of dedicated organisations and passionate people delivering innovative programmes to make a difference. Thank you to Arun and the team, we are proud to support our collaborative approach to community wellbeing and look forward to the 2025 conference.
