Henare’s journey has been shaped by a rich blend of cultural and professional experiences. Of Māori (Tainui, Waikato region) and European descent, he grew up in a low-economic community and later worked in high-economic environments, giving him a deep appreciation for the importance of bridging divides. A decade spent living in Indonesia further expanded his understanding of cultural diversity and its impact on communication and leadership.

With a Bachelor of Education, extensive training across a wide range of methodologies, and two decades of hands-on experience, Henare has developed a deep and versatile toolkit for working effectively with people from all walks of life and addressing a wide range of interpersonal challenges. He has built a reputation for innovative approaches that foster growth and results. Henare has also studied directly with internationally acclaimed teachers and mentors, including Steve Zaffron (author of The Three Laws of Performance), Eckhart Tolle (author of The Power of Now), Jack Canfield (author of The Success Principles), Wayne Dyer (renowned psychologist and author of over 60 books), and Marvin Oka (author of mBraining: Using Your Multiple Brains to Do Cool Stuff). 

Henare’s work is driven by a deep passion for helping others grow. Whether coaching individuals 1:1 or facilitating group transformation, his innovative approach often brings about change in unexpected and powerful ways. Henare helps teams and leaders overcome challenges, unlock potential, and achieve meaningful, lasting results.
