The 7 P's framework

Know who you are.
Own where you're going.

Most career advice skips straight to your CV. We start at the beginning — equipping you with a story and the tools to create your own future.

Our impact

what it takes.

Most people don't lack talent or potential. They lack the self-awareness and language to recognise it — and the confidence to communicate it to the world.

01
Most people don't know what they have to offer
Not because they lack talent — but because nobody ever helped them look. Without self-awareness, potential stays invisible.
02
Knowing yourself isn't enough without knowing the world
Self-discovery has to connect to reality. Understanding the actual market — what exists, what's needed, what fits — turns insight into opportunity.
03
When you know both, you can add real value
That's the shift from chasing what sounds good to building something that actually works — for you and for the people you'll serve.

Built from real experience, not theory.

There's an epidemic of people who don't know who they are. Not because they lack talent or potential — but because they were never taught to look. Tall poppy syndrome has convinced a generation that standing out is dangerous, that knowing your own worth is arrogance, and that staying small is safer than stepping forward.

In over a decade of working with individuals, I kept seeing the same pattern. Capable people who were stuck not because of what they lacked, but because of what they hadn't yet discovered about themselves. The clarity, the language, the confidence to say: this is who I am, this is what I offer, and this is where I'm going.

I know that place well. I had to dig my own way out — through failure, through a lot of trial and error — before I found the tools that finally made things click. That journey became the foundation of everything I now teach.

The 7 P's wasn't built in a classroom. It was built from hundreds of real conversations, and through my own lived experience of going from uncertain to purposeful. That's what Small Poppy is — the shortcut I didn't have. The framework that takes you from lost to clear, with someone alongside you who has walked it themselves.

"He aha te mea nui o te ao? Māku e kī atu, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata."

What is the most important thing in this world? It is people, it is people, it is people.
