How can we achieve    the goals we set for ourselves in our professional and personal    lives? How do we encourage our children to think about what    they want to achieve in their own lives?  <\/p>\n<p>    Nigel will take us on a 13.7 billion year journey to the    lengths of the known universe and beyond with his unique and    highly entertaining spin on science, parenting, personal    opinion and penguins. He will also share the unlikely story of    his own life, and the good - and bad - decisions he made along    the way. So whether you're in the business of business, of    raising children or just the business of life, this is an    evening that will entertain, enlighten and provoke.  <\/p>\n<p>    Nigel says I am honoured to be the ambassador for Kenzies    Gift, who provide a range of incredibly important psychological    services to children and families struggling with life    threatening illness. It is fundamentally important that    families struggling with these kinds of issues receive support    that is evidence-based rather than simply well intended.  <\/p>\n<p>    One family, who had the support of Kenzies Gift services, says    the support they had was invaluable. Following the death of her    husband, Debbie (who does not want her surname used) said her    9-year-old son struggled to cope with overwhelming grief. \"With    the support from Kenzies Gift child and youth    psychotherapists, my son was able to explore his grief and    develop the tools and coping strategies he needed. He can now    talk openly about his Dad, cope under pressure, is confident    both at home and at school.  <\/p>\n<p>    Kenzie's Gift is a charity that was founded by Nic Russell,    whose 3-year-old daughter, Kenzie, died from an aggressive form    of bone cancer in 2005. The charity supports the mental health    and emotional wellbeing of children, young people and their    families affected by serious illness or bereavement through one    on one therapy provided by registered therapists.  <\/p>\n<p>    All proceeds from the evening will benefit Kenzie's Gift    (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenziesgift.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.kenziesgift.com\/<\/a>)  <\/p>\n<p>    Tickets: $25  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scoop.co.nz\/stories\/CU1409\/S00039\/an-evening-with-nigel-latta.htm\/RK=0\/RS=y.9764spY7Vsu6GCdup4Phedu_A-\" title=\"An Evening With Nigel Latta\">An Evening With Nigel Latta<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> For immediate release Date: 2nd September 2014 An Evening With Nigel Latta Nigel Latta is hosting a one off talk, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Success, to benefit the childrens cancer charity he is ambassador for, Kenzies Gift (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenziesgift.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.kenziesgift.com\/<\/a>) at 7:30pm on Wednesday 10th September at Westlake Boys High School, Forrest Hill, Auckland.
