How Not To Take Life For Granted
“The brain will heal itself with time and patience” How can a life-changing illness be a positive experience? Richard McLean 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.
