“I’d like to say thank you for all the wisdom that you have shared, and we will take it, and you will see it on our website - we will share it. The ocean does not reject any drop of water. I am the ocean. I can make a difference. Thank you very much for your korero - we all enjoyed your speech very much. And to the young leaders, I say to you, take your speech to wherever you can. Because I think the country needs to hear this repeatedly. That wisdom you share.”
Pancha Narayanan – National President Multicultural New Zealand

“The final part of speech making is that delivery to bring home the message. Everybody had a fabulous audience connection and wonderful delivery. If you don’t have that connection with your audience, you’re not going to get your point across. Throughout their speech Zara used different styles of speaking within the talk and that just lifted the whole delivery. She used wonderful techniques, and used extra effective use of pause, with a lovely variety of pace. Zara commanded the stage.”
