Latta speaking at northern farmers’ dinner

Popular psychologist, author and broadcaster Nigel Latta will be guest speaker at the Beef+Lamb NZ Northern North Island Farmer Council’s annual meeting and dinner next month.

Latta will talk about the apparently constant upheaval in life and business these days and offer up some strategies on how to cope with it all.

“Everyone is struggling with the same issue: what’s next and how shall I respond?” he says.

“The world is constantly turning itself inside out and upside down, and it’s doing that faster and faster and faster. Disruption is the new ‘same old’, so getting ready for it is vitally important.”

The Northern North Island Farmer Council covers from Auckland to Cape Reinga and works to ensure Beef+Lamb NZ programmes are relevant and delivered to a high standard. Any levy payers can nominate themselves to be on the council, which also includes a proportion of co-opted councillors, usually rural professionals or economic experts.

The annual meeting and dinner will be held at Northland Cricket Association Pavilion, Okara Drive, Whangarei on Tuesday, September 26, from 5pm to 9pm. All farmers and rural professionals are welcome, though registration is essential for catering purposes. Nominations to join the Northern North Island Farmer Council close on September 19.
