Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Auckland is 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Honolulu.
Schedule calls for 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Auckland — your colleagues in Honolulu will be online from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Because you share 8 hours of the workday, there's no need to compromise; book the time that suits the meeting, not the map. Be careful with invites: Honolulu is on the previous day, so a Monday meeting for Auckland may land on a different day there. Remember that Auckland shifts for daylight saving and Honolulu doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change.
