My name is Paul Rangiwahia and I am passionate about people’s mental health and wellbeing. I love inspiring people through my words, ART and wellbeing resources. I use my unique style to help promote the POWER of SELF; Self awareness, self respect, self worth, self esteem and ultimately self actualisation.

I am fortunate to speak extensively across the motu. I think what makes me a popular speaker is my common sense approach, humour and authenticity. With over 10 years on stage, I genuinely feel at my fullest potential and  that’s great for the audience.

If you are after someone who can move an audience emotionally, make them laugh and inspire the room, I am confident that’s me. I am also mindful of being timely and linking the event together so there is flow and an uplifting energy. I do this while adding my personality and perspective and help shine a light on the nuggets of gold that are unearthed during the event.

I have been painting for 25 years and have created an eclectic body of work over this time – most notably, my mentalWOF and versions of it. Painting is an important part of my creative mix and while I don’t paint as often as I like, I still make time to paint a handful of commissions each year.
