As an event manager I work with many keynote speakers, MC's and entertainers. Ngahi proved to be an MC / Speaker that I will never forget. The Convention attracted 1,400 participants and ran for five days. From the first day through to the last, Ngahi had the audience captivated with his insightful and entertaining speaking. Ngahi has a motivational twist in his speaking and leaves delegates feeling inspired and passionate about their fields of work. I recommend Ngahi to any event as a professional speaker, outstanding Master of Ceremonies, strong leader and inspirational entertainer. Ngahi is an amazing person with qualities that will benefit all people, events and seminars that he is involved with.

I was fortunate to be one of over 400 delegates who attended the Renal Society of Australasia (RSA) Conference in Rotorua . The program con- sisted of four workshops, 13 invited presentations, one panel session, 59 orals and 47 posters within both plenary and breakout sessions. The Confer- ence was chaired by Master of Ceremonies Ngahihi o te ra Bidois. Ngahihi had a unique ability to inspire and move the audience with his beautiful stories. One minute he would have us laughing uncontrollably and the next there would not be a dry eye in the audience. He was able to convey the spirituality of the Maori culture to the point that moved many of us. Somehow he was able to apply aspects of Maori culture to our everyday work and provided us with useful insights into leadership and caring. His involvement in the conference was a true highlight.



Ngahi was absolutely amazing. I have never, in my life, met such a beautiful person like Ngahi. What an absolutely wonderful human being. He attended the whole weekend and made a huge effort to fit in with the clients and the staff, and everybody has praised him for that. Our feedback forms from clients also indicated that he was a real hit - his average score on a 1-10 scale was between 9 and 10.
