I was fortunate to be one of over 400 delegates who attended the Renal Society of Australasia (RSA) Conference in Rotorua . The program consisted of four workshops, 13 invited presentations, one panel session, 59 orals and 47 posters within both plenary and breakout sessions. The Conference 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.

Ngahis interactivity, genuineness and simple message was incredibly powerful. He was easily the stand out speaker of the conference and understanding the impact that it had on my colleagues and I, I immediately set about planning his attendance at our end of year function.
