About the host:
Kia ora, I’m Marissa Lewis.
I’m a proud Māori woman, Māmā, and the CEO of Marissa Lewis International. My whakapapa grounds me, my whānau keep me steady, and my mahi is about weaving wisdom, strategy, and presence so women can rise without leaving themselves behind.
With more than 20 years in sales, marketing, and communications, and over a decade as a coach, speaker, and retreat facilitator.
I’ve guided wāhine and women globally to step into their voice, their mana, and their leadership.
I’ve trained corporate teams, mentored entrepreneurs, and held sacred space for women to reconnect with the power they’ve always carried.
Because here’s the truth: no matter where you are from, you hold a world of wisdom from your ancestors. When you remember that — when you align your business, your confidence, and your leadership with that inheritance, you stop minimising yourself and start creating the legacy you were made for.
I work with ambitious women in their 40s and 50s who have poured decades into careers, families, and communities, and are now ready to claim their voice, their authority, and their next chapter. Through my Ultimate Confidence Academy™, Connect Retreat™, and one-on-one mentoring, I help women align their vision with their values and lead with both heart and authority.
For me, this isn’t just business. It’s a mission and a legacy: to stand alongside women who are ready to rise into their brilliance, design lives and businesses that feel wildly fulfilling, and create ripples of impact for generations to come.
If you’re ready to move from overlooked to unforgettable, from baseline to brilliant, I’m here to walk that journey with you.

Episode 55: The digital dance where technology meets human nature, a leadership revolution
Kia Ora, beautifuls!
You know, this topic has been sitting heavy on my heart lately, especially as I watch so many incredible ambitious women and creatives in professional careers and businesses navigate the digital landscape. This conversation was sparked by Professor Sandra Matz's fascinating research on tech and human behavior, and honestly, it couldn't be more relevant to what we're seeing right here in Aotearoa.
Working alongside our amazing clients, I've noticed a common thread - this beautiful tension between embracing innovation while staying true to our uniquely authentic way of doing business. It's something we grapple with daily in our mahi, supporting businesses through their digital transformations.
In this episode, we're diving deep into what I love to call The Digital Dance - that delicate balance between technology and our human nature. We'll explore how leadership is evolving, especially here in NZ where relationships and authenticity are at the heart of everything we do.
We'll unpack the real struggles and victories I'm seeing in our industry - how to maintain that personal touch while leveraging digital tools, the importance of emotional intelligence in our tech-driven world, and how to lead with both strategic thinking and that heart-centered approach we're known for in Aotearoa.
If you're like many of our clients who are trying to find that sweet spot between digital progress and maintaining genuine connections, this kōrero is absolutely for you.
Can't wait to share these insights and stories that are so relevant to our NZ business landscape.
