Nick joined the Army aged 23 and deployed to Afghanistan one week after finishing his initial training. Three months later he was in Musa Qualeh when he was injured by a rocket propelled grenade. The injury led to Nick being in a coma for three weeks and was the start of a long journey of recovery.
Despite his injuries, Nick went on to return to Afghanistan twice more, he has now left the Army and uses his unique perspective to write, talk and inspire others to better understand personal and organisational success.
The way Nick talks about trauma, in that may be military related or not and is experienced by huge numbers of people every day, led me to reflect on challenges I have had to overcome myself. Given the topic, this podcast is not one of light entertainment but hopefully will help some people who might have had related experiences.
You can find Nick on LinkedIn at Nick Garland and please do give the podcast a review on Apple podcasts.
