It is my honour to share this kōrero from Wendy Bennett who bravely took the stage at our Your Story event in Porirua.

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING we talk about some triggering topics. If you feel like you need support, there is a list of contact numbers in the podcast show notes for you ⚠️

Wendy and I recently reconnected after distantly knowing each other in our early days working for Glassons. Wendy describes herself an unsuccessful scholar. She failed almost subject she took from school cert, however, she found her feet and has spent the past 15 years focused on ensuring that some of New Zealand’s most significant organisations are cyber-secure, and now owns her own cyber security business Intelligensia NZ.

Wendy is proof that you can in fact thrive in business and in life whilst navigating the challenges with dyslexia.

It is with the greatest pleasure that I introduce Wendy Bennett to tell her story of hope and inspiration.
