The ‘Resilience’ Factor
  • As a child I remember questioning my mother and father on why my brother’s eyes were permanently closed and why he couldn’t hear me – the learning begins early.
  • Meeting incredibly resilient people on my journey from east to West Africa in the 1980s greatly influenced my attitude to life: stories of combating hardship.
  • The feeling of numbness when you are told your baby has a 50% chance of survival due to being born 4 months premature… the roller coaster experience 13 years ago.
  • Influencing others to be positive and resilient leaders – a conversation as a Region Manager in a large public sector organisation.
