On Queen’s Birthday weekend in 2014, the sudden death of her 12 year old daughter, Abi, forced Lucy to turn her substantial academic training and professional practice to foster resilience in very personal circumstances.

In this episode Dan sits down with Tim who has just come back from a conference exploring Mental Toughness featuring Doug Strycharczyk from AQR International and Dr John Perry - an academic and expert in Mental Toughness. 

Mental toughness is a well-evidenced concept supported by a mass of academic research (80+papers) as well as practitioner applications which demonstrate real and sustainable value.

Given that these benefits have been found to be particularly true in coaching and leadership development and impacts on wellbeing, performance, agility and aspirations we thought you might find it interesting to listen in as Tim debriefed with Dan about the conference.
