Meet Our Facilitators
Toby Cooper
Toby is energised by helping others improve their working lives. Working is hard – we are too busy, juggling too many demands, and struggling to focus on what really matters. Toby can help you make sense of what’s going on around you, identify opportunities to make improvements, and discover ‘better’
Toby’s rich and varied career is a perfect grounding for coaching – the variety of experiences he brings to coaching helps him to help others find their ‘better’

Reremoana Ormsby
Reremoana is as excited by the opportunity to step in to something new as we are to welcome her warmth, her varied experience and obvious te ao Māori capability to bring a bi-cultural lens to the way we design, create and deliver leadership and team experiences.
Reremoana has always looked for ways to create opportunities for everyone, from the glassy to the kitchen hand, making them feel seen and respected – aligning directly with our belief that success is built on a foundation of how people feel about their work, their team and the organisation – makes her a natural fit as part our Updraft whanau

Belinda’s high-energy, thought-provoking approach will leave you confident that she can deliver an experience that people will enjoy and remember – and that will help people be better at work!
She’ll work with you to bring out the brilliance of those in your organisation.

Shaun’s background in human resources and learning and development gives him an appreciation of what helps individuals, leaders and teams succeed in rapidly changing business environments
