“Brett’s talk was fantastic; he is a master at reading the room and letting parents and caregivers know exactly what they need in a relatable way, giving everyone the right information without freaking people out. Since Brett’s talk, parents have approached me to let me know the positive impact it has had in their approach to parenting their children and young people around this sensitive issue. Brett is empowering parents to take the lead and not hide from this important subject. I cannot recommend Brett and Taima Korero enough. If he has not spoken in your kura or to your whanau, I urge you to invite him along. All of our parents and caregivers deserve to take control and gain some skills to depower the porn industry in favour of supporting well-rounded, confident kids.”
— Niki Stephenson, Ao Tawhiti Discovery Limited
“Brett Harvey from Taima Korero came highly recommended by other schools and certainly lived up to these expectations and endorsements.
The impact of pornography has created an additional challenge and complexity in navigating the adolescent years. This presentation served as an important proactive measure to guide parents in supporting their children through these challenges, complementing our own curriculum-based learning delivered in the classroom.
The feedback from our parent community was extremely positive; the presentation was engaging and illuminating but equally sensitive and non-judgmental. Our parents were grateful for the opportunity to listen, to learn and to leave with greater confidence in supporting their children. We would add our recommendation to the many other schools who have seen the importance and value of this presentation."

“Kia ora Brett. Thank you for your presentation. Your session was very informative and enhanced through sharing your own personal experiences. Parents were armed with a range of strategies to help them support their children to understand the harm of pornography and how to protect themselves in the digital world. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“Fully recommend taking the time to listen to Brett. The content is extremely timely and relevant to all parents. The better equipped we all are to broach the topic of Pornography with our children, the more confident they will be when they come across it. Brett's delivery is superb and would highly recommend him as a speaker to school groups.”
— Stuart Priddy - Principal, Loburn School Te Kura Aromauka
“Thank you so much for sharing your time, experiences and expertise with our Primary and Middle School parents at Middleton Grange School. It was a really informative session about a topic that needs to be discussed openly in a Christian context. It is vitally important to equip our parents with the appropriate tools to understand the issues and talk these things through with their children. I am happy to recommend your work to other schools and parent groups.”
— Mike Vannoort - Principal, Middleton Grange School, Christchurch
“Dealing with anything to do with pornography can be an incredibly difficult and sensitive conversation. The Time 2 Talk Team handle this potentially explosive topic with great dignity, value, and authenticity. Their presentation contains a very positive, inspiring, and encouraging message while at times needs to be confronting and challenging. ALL adults (not just parents), will benefit from the words of wisdom and hope that are passionately shared. The Time 2 Talk Team are VERY easy to deal with and will not push themselves on any school or organisation. They listen and tailor their message to meet your needs. Their overall aim is simple. They have a genuine desire to help parents help children to stand against the toxic and insidious effects of pornography.”
— Steve Frost - Tumuaki/Principal, Hillview Christian School
“Brett is a very engaging and informative speaker. He structures his message in a way that is targeted to the children of the parents he is speaking too. At our school, he gave two talks, one aimed at primary aged parents, and one aimed at secondary aged parents. The message was carefully crafted for each group, and his interactive style promoted discussion amongst the participants. I highly recommend Brett to other groups”
— Stephen Walters - Principal, Rangiora New Life School
“Thank you Brett for sharing your personal journey and the current research openly and effectively. You are a skilled communicator who managed to create discussion about difficult matters in a matter of fact and inclusive way. Our parents valued your presentation and found it to be highly beneficial. I hope that other schools and groups will also hear your message, I am happy to recommend you. Many thanks.”
— Danny - Principal, Te Matauru School
“We here at Elim Christian College will definitely be hosting Brett from Taima Korero again next year.

It will be the best thing you have done for a good while as a community and school leader.”
