Resilience Strategies for Covid-19 and beyond

We all know the last few months have challenged people’s certainties. On the Campus, we have seen lives saved through the dedicated care of clinical teams, while research institutes and world-leading life science companies have worked to help find solutions to what has been the biggest challenge the world has faced for generations Sadly despite the best efforts of everyone, lives have sadly been lost, and that can take its toll.

To help develop strategies to help people thrive in adversity, we have arranged for a presentation from best-selling author and speaker, Richard McCann.

Brought up on the ‘At Risk’ register, children's homes, foster families and then brought up by his often violent and alcoholic father took away any self-esteem that he had. He lost his mother in tragic circumstances and then left school with no qualifications. After a number of dead-end jobs followed by being kicked out of the army before turning to drugs, he reached rock-bottom before finally deciding to find the determination to turn his life around. He wrote a book about his journey which was a Times No1 Bestseller selling almost 1/2 million copies and has now been translated into 11 languages. He became the founder of The iCan Academy inspiring audiences across the globe as far and wide as Iran, Malaysia, Italy, Germany, Canada and many more.

In this virtual seminar he will share not just his story but the strategies that helped him not just survive but thrive because of his adversity.
