In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Neslyn Watson-Druée and she talks us through her journey from trainee nurse to Chairman of NHS Kingston, receiving a CBE for her contributions to health service innovation, and later becoming a multi-award-winning leadership coach. Through her experience, she also coaches us through how to deal with our own vulnerability and how to turn into a source of strength and resilience. Her story is a fascinating one, and her message unique and inspiring. It is a discussion that is none more relevant than in the current times we are living in.
