How to keep going when the going gets tough

2020 turned out to be a year like no other, with none of us able to have imagined the challenges that we would face. How we deal with the challenges that life throws our way can have a huge impact on how we live our lives in the future. While we can't predict what lies ahead, we can ensure you have the tools you need to overcome challenges and succeed.

In this webinar Max Thorpe (Politics, 2016), Atlantic rowing world record holder, shares the lessons he learned the hard way and his journey exploring and building resilience.

“It seems obvious to say but falling from the rope was the most profound moment I have ever experienced. It totals to just a few frantic seconds but my memory of it is clear and painfully slow.”
