Start as you intend to continue

Whether you are a woman, Māori, Pasifika, or other underrepresented person, we encourage you to start as you intend to continue.

If someone has asked you to do something and you are feeling unclear, then ask for clarification. This will help you succeed faster.

Above all, please be yourself. Your differences are also ultimately your strengths, and you are what’s missing in the industry.
