Who is Maz Lane?
Born and bred on a dairy farm in the Waikato, I’m a 5th generation New Zealander, married to a wonderful man with four grown up young people, two whom are married, with three delightfully cheeky grand sons. I love people observing, relationship building, and self-improving, Trained and experienced as a school teacher, eighteen years home educating my kids, mountain biking, gardening and chicken farming is what I have done.
And for the last 10 years I have enjoyed watching the impact that Strength coaching has had on the lives of the individuals, partnerships and teams in those I have coached. It is incredible to see each one recognise, analyse and then use their innate talents to approach their challenges and goals with confidence.
Who is the side kick?
Crazy cycle man, is in fact, a risk management expert who knows credit banking stuff and runs an organisation called Robust Consulting. He wants to empower people to use money as a precious resource to make good things happen in our world.
Why I am strengths coaching?
I want to see successful families, businesses and communities made up of people who know and use their SPARK celebrate each other’s differences and their greatest contributions in their relationships and in their roles. I love the Clifton Strengths Tool as it provides a common language for these talents and strengths.
I am willing to step out - to be an example to others who are afraid, disheartened or feeling weak; so that you can do all you were made to do!
Who supports me?
I am accredited with Strengths Network, a Christchurch organisation that introduced Clifton Strengths (Strengthsfinder) to New Zealand, back in 2008. Since then they have trained and accredited hundreds of coaches who work in business, government, education, community and not for profit based organisations.
