A conversation on resilience with Dr. Giles P. Croft and Thomas Leamy.
Guest Bio: Dr. Giles P Croft is a writer, speaker, coach, and trainer, all of which are underpinned by an understanding of the innate health and wellbeing that governs all our lives. A psychology graduate and former NHS surgeon, he left the world of hospital medicine to seek happiness in a variety of careers, including health informatics, cycling journalism, high street retail with his wife, and public speaking, before coming to the realization that happiness is indeed an ‘inside job.’ In 2021, Giles founded the Reconnect to Innate Resilience course for groups of hard-working professionals, which helps staff to better understand the way in which they are experiencing life’s circumstances, thereby reducing stress levels without the need for coping techniques or time-consuming rituals. A recent UK-wide meta-analysis of more than 200 wellbeing interventions found this course’s unique approach was demonstrably the most impactful of all psychological interventions, as measured by a validated mental wellbeing scale. Giles coaches private clients out in the hills of the Brecon Beacons National Park; runs a monthly online meet-up called Wellbeing Wednesdays for an international audience; and has a self-study online course called: A Fresh Perspective on Wellbeing, all of which are available through his website, gilespcroft.com.
