“The brain will heal itself with time and patience”

How can a life-changing illness be a positive experience?

Richard McClean has redefined his life after a stroke. He’s had to learn to walk and talk again. All of a sudden, Richard’s busy fulfilling job had to take a back seat whilst he learnt how to not only survive but thrive in the aftermath of a major health crisis.

Business psychologist and Executive Coach, Hazel Showell discovers how Richard’s acceptance of slowing down and appreciating every moment was a key aspect of his recovery. You’ll hear how his ability to learn from failure has completely reshaped his life - and you will learn how to appreciate the present in an embodied way, through techniques like mindfulness.
