Performance and Pressure – managing the moments!
Glibert Enoka

Working with the All Blacks and some of New Zealand’s most successful corporations, Gilbert Enoka has a raft of insights about what’s required to create world class teams and enterprises. We will dig into the mindsets needed to create magic.

How do you harness talent to its full potential when you have a team of brilliantly driven individuals?

Navigating expectations and disappointments … what happens when you lose … how do you get back up again?

What sorts of environments support being day in and day out at peak performance?

Once the environment for this is in place how do you ensure individuals stay well at this level of pressure?

Knowing when to call it and how to do this
Rod SnodgrassSakshin Niranjan

One of the keys to success in venture investing is being able to make the call when a startup is not scaling at the pace required. Drawing on some of the insights from Gilbert Enoka, Rod and Saks explore the markers they used in resetting the business and the personal qualities they drew on. Rod will also share his experience of letting a startup go, including the conversations with the founders, the wider team and shareholders.

Does chasing unicorns in Aotearoa make sense?
Jenny RuddMike Carden

In this session we will debate how relevant building unicorns is in a context like ours where there are smaller pools of local capital, nascent local experience and such an acute need to crack offshore markets. We will also explore some of the trade-offs, including building a huge company versus early recycling of capital and kiwi risk appetites to support success all the way to unicorn status.
