What Drives Me
I love to share what I’ve learned about the philosophical traditions within the Hawaiian culture. Often I find and share parallels and parables from other cultures, times and places, to make the wisdom of the ancients more approachable and digestible for the modern audience. I do it because that’s what makes sense to me. I love to share these things with friends and family, organizations big and small that can affect change both within their departments and have those individuals take what they’ve gained home to better their families and communities. I like to help organizations find a deeper sense of purpose through a discovery of shared values.
I also like to work with the hospitality industry, sharing what I’ve learned from my experiences with hotels, tourism bureaus, local government agencies, F&B, and more to aid them in crafting a better way of doing business through the correct application of culture. Many of these groups rely on someone’s indigenous or local culture to both sell their product and insist on their authenticity…most are doing it wrong, all can do it better.
