He kōrerorero ki a Sonia

Kei te hiahia koe i tētahi kaihoahoa patopato, infographic, tino pai ki te mahi tahi? Haere mai ki a mātou i a mātou e kōrerorero ana ki a Sonia mō tōna haerenga ki te hoahoa, ngā whakamātautau me ngā whakamanatanga e haere tahi ana me te mahi, me te wāhi e haere ana te umanga.

He aha koe i uru ai ki te hoahoa?

I a au e tipu ana, ka peita, ka tātuhi, ka hanga kāri rā whānau tino uaua mō ngā tāngata.  I te wā kāore au i te kura, i te whakatau ahau i waenga i ngā mea rerekē, engari i hiahia ahau ki te ako i te hoahoa, nā reira i tono ahau ki te ako i Massey. I uru ahau, a, ka noho hei kaihoahoa i muri i tērā. Kāore anō ahau kia tatarahapa, nā reira he pai tēnā.

He aha tāu e tino pai ana ki tō tūranga?

He pai ki ahau te whakakotahi i ngā wāhanga rerekē o te pūrākau, me te kōrero whānui e ngana ana mātou ki te kōrero. Ko te kimi i ngā miro, te here tahi me te kōrero pūrākau i runga i te tikanga tūturu, whakamere, ahurei rānei. Koia tērā e tino aroha ana ahau.

He aha te mea e kitea ana e koe he tino uaua?

Te wehi o te whārangi pātea. Ka tae koe ki tētahi wāhi i roto i tētahi tukanga i mahi ai koe i te nui o te whakaaro, te rautaki, me te rangahau - kātahi ka tae mai ki te mahi. He rite tonu ki te tīmatanga hē. Ka kitea e au ko te whakatika ko te tiki whakaaro noa iho me te pōro e takahuri ana. E pā ana ki te pana whakamua, kaua ki te hīkoi i a koe anō i mua i te tīmatanga.

Ki tōu whakaaro he aha te whiwhi a ngā kiritaki i te mahi tahi me tētahi studio hoahoa?

Ko te mahi tahi he rerekē te āhua o te whakaaro mō ngā mea. E tino arotahi ana ngā pakihi ki te taha whakahaere o ngā mea, ā, kāore he wā ki te whakaaro i te waitohu. Ka taea e mātou te kawe mai he tirohanga hou ki te mārama me te tauwhiti o tō hunga whakarongo ki tō pakihi. E pā ana ki te miramira i ngā pono i mua i te umanga i ngā wā katoa, kāore pea i a rātou te wā, te kōwhiringa, te mokowā rānei hei huaki.

He aha te kaupapa e tino whakahīhī ana koe?

Te whakahau whakararuraru mo te Whutupōro o Aotearoa. I tīmata ki tētahi rārangi wā iti me te pūtea, engari me tētahi raruraru tino mīti – ka mau mai te mōhiotanga ki te kutukutu me tōna tukanga whakaora. He pai ki a au te ruku ki te raruraru mai i te tirohanga a te hunga whakarongo me te hura i te mōhiotanga he whara tē kitea te kutukutu. I runga anō i tērā, ka whakaritea e mātau kia kore e taea te waiho. Nā tēnei ariā i whakamōhio i ā mātou whakataunga hoahoa, ngā whakanohonga pāpāho me ngā whakahohenga. He tino uaua, engari he tino auaha hoki.

He aha ō mea tino pai e mahia ana e mātou i roto i te studio?

He tino pai ki ahau te Whakaminenga. It's a chance every month to reflect on and celebrate the awesome work we've all done. He wā ki te huihui, ki te mahi i tētahi mea ngahau, heahea rānei (e rua rānei), ā, i ētahi wā ka makaia he kākahu ki roto i te whāranu. He pai te whai wā pai me te tuku noa iho i ētahi uaua. Ehara i te mea ngahau - ka noho tahi tātau katoa, nā reira he pai tēnā.

He aha te whakaaro whakaaro e hāngai ana i tō huarahi ki te hoahoa?

Kia ngahau ki taua mea! Ahakoa he matatini, he taumaha, he taumaha rānei te kaupapa, ki taku whakaaro he utauta whaitake tonu te āhua o te tākaro, te whakaaro rānei i tētahi huarahi rerekē ki tētahi raruraru. He nui te tino nui o te ao, nā reira e whakaaro ana ahau he pai ki te tango i tētahi wā ki te wehe atu i tēnā me te kawe mai i tētahi hari. Ki a au, e pā ana ki te whakaaro i te ara patua, ki te pato rānei i ngā tohutoro ahurea pahū mai i taku kokonga o te Ipurangi. He tino whai hua te mahi pērā, ā, he rite tonu te utu ki te wheako o te hunga whakarongo.

He aha tō hack hoahoa haere?

He nui taku whakaaro mai i ngā pūranga hoahoa nostalgic, nā reira he pai tonu te kukume i ētahi o aua tohutoro. Ahakoa kei te tāpiri i tētahi āhua kanokano, ngahau kākano, papatā tae whakamere rānei - te āhua nei ka wetewete ahau.

Kātahi anō koe ka mahi i ngā rā 36 o te wero momo. He aha tāu i ako ai?

He tino nui ki a au te hanga i te whakatinanatanga, kia kore ai koe e whakawhirinaki ki te whakahauhau. I te 9:30 i te pō, ā, kāore au i tino pīrangi ki te tā i ngā mea - na te hanganga ahau i whakahau kia ōrite. He mea whakamīharo hoki te mahi me te whakaputa i te ao ki te ao. Ko te nuinga, ka noho koe hei wāhanga o tētahi hapori: mā te whai wāhi ka kitea e koe ēnei kaiwaiata reta whakamīharo me ngā kaihoahoa e mahi ana i te mea ōrite engari i tō rātou ake ara.

He aha tō infographic tino pai?

We Are Here, An Atlas of Aotearoa by Chris McDowall, and Tim Denee. Ka kapi i ngā mea katoa, mai i te āhua ki ngā tauira ki te moni ki te puoro ki te wāhi e noho ana te tangata. Ko te mea tino pai ki a au ko te huri ki tētahi whārangi me te ako i tētahi mea tino whakamere mō Aotearoa. Ka kapi ia whārangi i tētahi take uaua, engari ka whakangāwari me te kore e tango i te horopaki rawa. It tells a story about Kiwi, what they do and how they interact with space or place.

He pēhea tō kite i te huringa o te umanga hoahoa i roto i ngā tau e 5-10 e whai ake nei?

Ki taku whakaaro ko te whakapiki ake i te hiranga o te rerenga kētanga. Diversity of thought, diversity of people/cultures, and diversity of needs/solutions that we encounter as well as provide. E pā ana ki tērā, ko te whakamanatanga o ētahi atu wāhine i roto i te umanga auaha, e whakaatu ana i a rātau i roto i ngā tūnga ārahi umanga. I tēnei wā, ko te 1% anake o ngā studio auaha o te ao nā ngā wāhine, nā reira e hiahia ana ahau ki te kite i taua huringa hei tuku i ētahi atu ara me ngā huarahi puta noa i te papa.
