Audience Reflections
Alexandra D
"THE WORKSHOP WAS A PIVOTAL PART OF ME BECOMING THE NURSE I AM TODAY."
“As a student nurse, I attended the Changing Lenses Workshop. Anah shared her vision in a way in which we could all relate. I felt involved throughout the day and it was great to be acknowledged individually during the reflection part of the day.
Anah is an incredible communicator and I am inspired by her passion for the amazing work she is doing. The workshop was a great chance to meet many inspiring people and I feel lucky to have been a part of something so special.
The workshop was a pivotal part of me becoming the nurse I am today and I am incredibly proud of the work I do as a nurse.”
Elizabeth B | Director of Flourish Health Emporium, Registered Nurse
“Anah Aikman is a blessed orator, gifted teller of stories and extraordinary maverick. She weaves purpose, values and profound presence into her transformative spaces, which is deeply lacking in healthcare and leadership circles.
I recommend her highly for those who are seeking change through foundations of connection, empathy and compassion within their organisations and more importantly, on a deep personal level.
Thank you, Anah, for filling me with deep gratitude and knowledge that in the way we nurse matters; the way we move within the world matters.
Honouring those who think differently will help effect powerful cultural change within our communities, societies and the wider world.
It was a privilege to join you at Changing Lenses and the profound effect that meeting place had on all that were present is still with me today.”
Collaborations and past events
I’ve been fortunate to share my insights at events across New Zealand and internationally. From speaking at the LM23 Better Health for All conference in Melbourne to presenting at the Ministry of Seniors, Better Later Working Lives event in Wellington, each opportunity has been meaningful.
I’ve worked with organisations like the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, Victim Support, and Vensa Health, delivering talks on leadership, innovation, and self-care. Events like Reshaping the Nurses Voice in Hamilton and Changing Lenses in Christchurch have been highlights, inspiring change and fresh perspectives.
Whether here or abroad, I’m available to bring my energy and experience to your next event.
