How to build your Haʻiʻōlelo:
Manaʻo o Ka Lā: Kāne
Your goal is to give everyone a thought to focus on or be inspired by. This can be a single word or a phrase. You’re encouraged to incorporate ʻōlelo noʻeau (hawaiian proverbs) or even Hawaiian words. A brief explanation of why we should focus on or be inspired by your manaʻo (thought or topic) will round out your speech.
Manaʻo Aʻoaʻo: Wahine
Your goal is to expound upon what the kāne has brought up by giving actionable and concrete examples of how it applies to us at work or even in our personal development. Your thought doesn’t have to be long, it just needs to give us examples of how to apply the manaʻo o ka lā. In some cases wahine might challenge or refute the manaʻo o ka lā.
Simple structure for haʻi ʻōlelo:
Aloha
Manaʻo (thought)
Brief explanation of manaʻo (kāne) or examples (wahine)
Closing thought to drive home
