Joanna Gray joins us to share her story of overcoming a diagnosis of Huntington’s disease without compromising on her quality of life. Her approach encompasses radical acceptance, a strong will and determination to live as full a life as she can without getting hung up on the future problems her condition may cause. She draws from a wide range of psychological techniques and the confidence she helps instil in her business coaching clients. You will learn:

• What is Huntington’s disease,

• How you can choose to be optimistic in the face of doubt and uncertainty,

• Why a positive mindset can be one of the best decisions you make for your health,

• When to trust your instincts,

• Where to find support in your relationships, career and family life,

• How to avoid the victim mentality.
