Dr Lucy Hone is a director of the New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing & Resilience, adjunct fellow at the University of Canterbury, a published academic researcher, best-selling author, and blogger for Psychology Today. 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. Resilient Grieving, the best-selling book she wrote in the aftermath of Abi's death is now available in the US, UK and NZ.

014: Talking About Mental Toughness
Thursday Sep 26, 2019
Thursday Sep 26, 2019
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.
