UNDERSTANDING PERSPECTIVE: How to Find It When You Need It Most

Perspective is one of the most useful tools we have in crisis – a way of taking pressure out of a difficult moment, stepping back and working out what really matters. In this special compilation episode of Crisis What Crisis, I share the story of the five most terrifying days of my own life and revisit four extraordinary guests whose lives have been shaped, and sometimes almost undone, by the pursuit of perspective. **POWERED BY KINGSLEY NAPLEY:** I know what it is to have the right legal support around you when facing crisis.
