IN BRIEF
Lisa Tamati is a successful New Zealand businesswoman who also competes in ultra marathons.
Much of Tamati’s success in business comes from having a firm belief in her own self-worth.

Ultra marathon running has set Lisa Tamati, from Taranaki, New Zealand, on a path filled with both failures and disappointments.
Overcoming fears and self-doubt while pushing her mind and body to extreme limits has provided Tamati with skills that have proven easily transferable to the world of business.
Tamati is the owner and director of six companies. She has owned retail and wholesale operations in Austria and New Zealand, written two books, and continues to draw upon her experiences as an elite endurance athlete to manage her businesses.
Much of Tamati’s success in business comes from having a firm belief in her own self-worth.
“It is valuing yourself first and foremost and knowing what you are worth; the problems come when you don’t value yourself,” she says. “It’s overcoming that inner voice first and being able to look at yourself in the mirror and say, ‘I do have those values and I do have the skill set and this is worth that much’.”
