Topics for Turia Pitt
- The Mana Framework
The Mana Framework explores mana—the inner power we draw on when things get hard—and how we can grow it through courage, compassion for ourselves and connection with others.
Drawing on lived experience, her Tahitian heritage, and contemporary research, Turia introduces audiences to three practical ways to grow their mana:
Courage: Why courage isn’t about being fearless or having all the answers, but taking the next step when things feel hard or uncertain.
Compassion: How the way we speak to and treat ourselves affects our ability to cope with pressure, recover from setbacks, and keep going.
Connection: Why hard things are easier when they’re shared, and the importance of having people around us we can lean on and draw strength from.
Through powerful storytelling, humour and practical ideas, Turia gives audiences a framework they can draw on when life or work gets hard.
