For New Zealand schools
Achieving Staff-Owned Engagement.
Teacher burnout is real, and it costs schools more than just staff. Kura Wellbeing gives your teachers a personalised, year-round wellbeing platform, backed by evidence based workshops that put staff at the centre of their own engagement.
Most wellbeing programmes are done to staff. This one is owned by them.
Leader pressure is at breaking point
Leaders are expected to carry the emotional weight of their teams, and the data is clear about the toll it takes.
One size fits none
What drives engagement is unique to each person. No top-down strategy substitutes for a staff member who understands their own motivation.
Equip the staff, enable the leader
We give staff a framework to take ownership of their engagement, and leaders a repeatable process to sustain it.
The workshop
At your school
Start with all staff, or leaders only. Either way people leave with something of their own, not a policy to file away.
- Their personal stress GPS
- Staff learn to recognise their own stress signals before things become overwhelming, and how to navigate them.
- Strategies that actually stick
- Why some techniques are game changers while others fall flat, then a resilience toolkit built to fit them.
- Their change advantage
- Practical skills that turn uncertainty into fuel for growth, rather than something to simply survive.
- Real world resilience
- Tools they can use on Monday morning. No jargon, no theory, nothing that needs a spare afternoon.
The platform
Twelve months of support, not a one-off good day.
Awareness
A confidential Wellbeing Scorecard shows each person where they are right now, and tracks progress over time.
Education
Articles, clips and podcasts updated weekly, with topic channels and the Sage AI assistant for specific questions.
Motivation
Team challenges, leaderboards and flexible team sizes, plus wearable integration with Fitbit and Garmin.
Reward
Points grow with progress and unlock real prizes, including Prezzy cards and vouchers.

“Brad was an entertaining and engaging presenter who gave great messages and practical advice around values based wellbeing practices. This was an excellent way to start the year as a school staff.”
“I have had the privilege of hearing Brad twice in different contexts and each time he held me and his audience captivated with his knowledge, experience and expertise in the important area of wellbeing. Most importantly, Brad offers a unique perspective based on research which was groundbreaking and 'lens' shifting for me personally and professionally. His work around our intrinsic values and the need for alignment with colleagues, team leaders and the whole organisation is a powerful message which resonated with me and my staff. Thank you for your entertaining and engaging delivery. I would recommend you to anyone seeking to enhance their strategies and policies in this critical area.”
