MCO Events Team

The MCO Events Team is led by its five core values:

Compassion – To lead with kindness for ourselves and others around us.

Collaboration – To seek guidance and support from valued team members as only together can we create social change.

Fun – Laughter, light and humour are incorporated into everything we do. If we are not choosing to have fun, then we are choosing to suffer by default.

Growth – Continuous progression driven by our passions and hunger to learn. We are always students with a beginner’s mind and have a willingness to learn.

Respect – Treat people with honesty and integrity. To remain non-judgemental to other’s opinions, behaviours and attitudes.

“Our priority is always our team players and our clients. We strongly believe that a healthy relationship with these parties then the rest always follows”
