In Aotearoa New Zealand, we’ve long wrestled with tall poppy syndrome - the quiet pressure to not stand out, to downplay success, and to stay small. It’s time for us to change that because humility doesn’t mean hiding and success ought to be shared.

The Poppy Project exists to lift people up. We believe in big dreams, bold ambition, and the power of backing yourself. We want people to take up space - to be proud of their hard work, their curiosity, and their drive.

Our mission is simple: to create online learning experiences that give everyone access to powerful knowledge - the kind that opens doors, builds confidence, and puts meaningful goals within reach.

Ambition is beautiful not just when it helps us to grow, but also when it inspires us to contribute, to serve, and to use what we’ve learned for good. We want opportunities to be spread widely, so that we can all be tall poppies - supporting each other to rise. 

Whether you're jumping in at the start and enrolling in our Legal Starter Pack course, or joining us later for what’s still to come, The Poppy Project is a place for deep thinkers, quiet leaders, and brave beginners.

This is your invitation to grow and to bet on yourself. Because learning is courageous. Ambition can be beautiful. And tall poppies grow best together.
