“The key to resilience isn’t avoiding the storm. It’s learning how to stand in the rain.”
Nigel Latta
Nigel Latta is one of New Zealand’s most recognisable and trusted voices when it comes to making sense of people. A clinical psychologist by training, Nigel has spent more than two decades working with families, young people, and organisations — helping us navigate the messy, fascinating business of being human.
Beyond his clinical work, Nigel is widely known for his hit television series including Beyond the Darklands, The Politically Incorrect Parenting Show, The Hard Stuff, and most recently You’ve Been Scammed (2024), where he tackled fraud and online safety in his signature straight-talking, witty style. His shows have not only been hugely popular but have sparked nationwide conversations on everything from parenting to crime, resilience, and trust.
Nigel is also a bestselling author, with books like Politically Incorrect Parenting, Into the Darklands, and Life, Blurred (released in 2023), which explores how technology and modern life shape our thinking and wellbeing. His ability to blend science, humour, and practical insights has made him a favourite with audiences around Aotearoa and abroad.
On stage, Nigel is a natural storyteller — sharp, funny, and deeply relatable. He cuts through jargon to offer fresh perspectives on leadership, change, mental health, and dealing with uncertainty. In 2025, he’s been speaking across the country on themes like building trust in a noisy world, leading with clarity, and helping teams adapt to constant change.
