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.
