A, i whakaaro koe ko te kura hoahoa te wāhi uaua rawa. Kei runga i a koe te hangarau! Ināianei he kaihoahoa tamariki kore mahi koe, kāore koe i te mōhio i roto i tētahi umanga kāore i te māhorahora. Koia tērā te mea tuatahi e rere ana i roto i tō hinengaro ina mōhio koe kua mutu tō waeine, ā, ināianei e tūmanakohia ana koe kia kimi mahi, ka waihanga i te kaupapa tino whakamīharo i roto i te hītori me te huri i te umanga hoahoa.

Ki te whakatoi, ka taea anake e te kura hoahoa te whakaako me te whakarite i a koe mō te nui o ngā mea, ā, ko te whakaaro noa iho ki te hono ki tētahi taiwhanga auaha me ngā kiritaki tūturu me ngā mahi tūturu ka whakamataku pea — he aha tō tikanga me whakarite me te whakaingoa tika i aku kōnae? He aha te reinga o te WIP?

Ahakoa he nui te wehi me te māharahara i te whiwhinga whiwhinga, he mea nui kia mōhio koe ko te nuinga o ngā akoranga tūturu ka tīmata anake i a koe e wehe ana i te akomanga kanapa ka haere ki te kaukau me ngā mangō nunui i reira.

A, i kitea e au ko te tauira te huarahi tino pai ki te tou i ō matimati me te kore horomia te moana katoa.

Strategy has been running an intern programme for years, and I was stoked to be offered a spot to join the team at the Ōtautahi studio this year. I tino wehi ahau i taku rā tuatahi, me whakaae ahau — ka aha mēnā kāore rātau e pīrangi ki a au? Ka aha mēnā kāore au i te pai? Kua tino rite ahau mō tēnei?

E whakapono ana ahau he āhuatanga i roto i te umanga auaha ki te rangirua i a tātau anō, ā, he kaihoahoa rangatahi, i te nuinga o te wā kāore tātau i te maia ki te kōrero mō ā mātou mahi me ā mātou tukanga auaha. He taniwha pea te rangirua i a au anō, engari i tino waimarie ahau ki te ū ki tētahi taiwhanga kī tonu i ngā tāngata pūkenga, ātaahua hoki, ā, i taku rā tuatahi ka awhi te katoa i a au, ka tīmata ahau ki te māia ake, ki te hiakai hoki ki ngā mea katoa ka taea e rātau te maka mai ki a au!

Ehara i te mea ngāwari te oho wawe, engari ko te āhua o te kawhe e āwhina ana i ahau ki te whakatika i te moenga. I te nuinga o te wā ka tae atu ahau ki roto i te studio i te 9am, kātahi ka tīmata te rā. Ka tīmata ahau mā te tirotiro i taku hōtaka me ngā īmēra me te whakarite kia mōhio au he aha te mea e puta ana i taua rā. Ka tīmata ngā Mane ki tētahi hui mahi kaimahi me ngā studios e toru (aue, koia te tikanga o WIP!). Ko te oma tere i roto i ngā whakamiramira mutunga wiki o te katoa me ngā mea e tatari ana ki te wiki ki mua, ka waiho te tīma i roto i te uaua, ā, kua rite ki te toka.

Puta noa i tōku rā ka whiriwhiri ahau i ngā roro o tētahi tangata i runga i tā rātou mahi, he rango i runga i te pakitara i ngā hui poto, e taumarumaru ana i a Chris rāua ko Liam, e mahi ana i aku kōwae akoranga, i ngā mea katoa rānei o runga ake nei. I ako hoki ahau me pēhea te whakamahi i tōku wā i waenga i ngā kaupapa ki te whakawhanake i ōku pūkenga (me kaua e mutu te akoranga!) ā, kī tonu tā mātou hongere kōrerorero hoahoa i Slack i ngā tuhinga hoahoa, ngā kōrero me ngā akoranga e tatari ana kia pau. Kua taea e au te whakakī i ngā āputa kāore au i te mōhio kei reira — he kōhatu tonu hei kite i ngā mea taketake, pēnei i ngā pokatata kāore koe i mōhio ka taea te mahi, ngā utauta kāore koe i mōhio e tīari ana, me ngā aki whakahaere kōnae e penapena ana i te hawhe haora o tō wā.

Ko tētahi wā mīharo mōku ko taku wātū whakaaro tuatahi me te tīma hoahoa. I te kura hoahoa, ka mahi koe i te nuinga o ō kaupapa ko koe anake, engari i te tauwhiro ki te umanga, he mea nui kia mōhio koe me pēhea te mahi i roto i tētahi tīma me te ako me pēhea te pana i a rāua anō.

He mea whakamīharo te tāwhana i ngā whakaaro me te tīma, ā, ka mōhio ahau he pēhea te karapoti i a koe ki te auahatanga o ētahi atu e whāngai ana i tō ake auahatanga.

Ka whakaawe te ariā o tētahi tangata i a koe kia whai i tētahi atu, kātahi ka whānau anō tētahi atu i ngā ariā hou e toru, ā, ko te mea panuku e mōhio ana koe, kua pau koe i te mokowā poutāpeta me te papamā. He tino pai te kite i te whakaaro o ēnei tāngata me te āhei ki te whakaaweawe i taua mea.

I hoatu hoki ki a au te wā hei āwhina me te tākaro i ētahi kaupapa ā-roto, he huarahi tino pai ki te whakawhāiti i ētahi pūkenga me te āwhina i te tīma. I taua wā ka ako ahau i te hira o te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mārama puta noa i ia taahiraa. Kei ia tangata tōna ake whakaaro me te āhei ki te whakarite me te whakamārama mārama ki tētahi atu i te raruraru o ngā whakaaro i roto i tō māhunga, he pūkenga utu nui.

Ko te mea i tino pupuhi i te roro o taku kaihoahoa pēpi ko te mātakitaki i ngā pakihiwi o ētahi atu kaihoahoa me te kite i ngā mea whakamīharo e mahi ana rātou. He ngāwari noa iho te haere ki te ipurangi me te kimi i ētahi whakaaro hoahoa i Pinterest, engari ko tāu e kite nei he hua oti noa iho, ā, kāore he mea e taurite ana ki te mātakitaki i tētahi kaupapa hoahoa e haere ana mai i te poto ki te rongoā. He nui te koura ki te mātakitaki i te āhua o ētahi atu kaihoahoa ki tētahi kaupapa, he pēhea tā rātou tukanga, me te kite i ngā hoahoa ātaahua e huihui ana i runga i ā rātou mata.

I roto i te wiki, ka ngana ahau ki te whiriwhiri roro. Mai i ngā kaitohutohu ki ngā kaiwhakahaere kaupapa, ki ngā kaihoahoa, i mārama katoa ahau ki te mahi a tētahi umanga hei rauropi ora, me te katoa e tākaro ana i tētahi wāhi ahurei i ia kaupapa. I whakarite ahau ki te pātai atu ki te katoa he aha tō rātou hiahia me te pēhea e whakatata ai rātou ki tō rātou rā, ā, i whiwhi ahau i ētahi aki koura mai i ngā PM me pēhea te whakarite i a koe me te mana o ngā rārangi mahi (tohutohu utu nui). He mātao, he mātao te āhua o te kamupene, engari ina tae ki te wā ki te whakaoti i ngā mahi, ka arotahi te katoa ki te pakihi, ā, he pai ki te noho hei wāhanga o te tīma me te hopu i ngā mea katoa e taea e au.
