Resilience: Coming Back to Yourself with Josh Connolly

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again and this time more intelligently.” Henry Ford

I love that quote and it’s perfectly applicable for today’s podcast. Today’s topic is resilience and restarting and emotional intelligence, and my guest today is one of the world’s experts on the topic.

He shares his own raw and unapologetic authentic story of coming from the ashes of darkness and pivoting his life. He shares ways that we can increase our emotional IQ and how we can be a rock for those who depend on us.

Josh Connolly is one of the UK’s most influential mental health advocates. He has appeared multiple times on the BBC, ITV and Channel 5 News.

Thanks to his motto “It’s fighting against what we feel is what gets us problems” Josh Connolly has run workshops on resilience in schools and for many brands around the world.

Today, Josh speaks openly on the importance of emotional intelligence as a way to optimize our relationships. He also shares his incredibly authentic story and going through dark times in his life where he actually considered ending it all and how he can use our humility as a superpower to inspire others.
