An activist and founder of two award-winning charities, XLP and, most recently, Kintsugi Hope, Patrick advocates passionately in the space of resilience, courage and wellbeing – particularly for young people facing social justice issues, and those struggling with mental health issues, and his book, <a href=\"http://www.brighterdays.life/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Brighter Days</a>, which is centred on practical tips to invest in your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation delves into not only the realities of risk taking, but of Patrick’s striking ability to understand, and poignantly articulate the impact of taking a risk in leadership. As you’ll discover, there’s a lot more to it than standing on a ledge and taking a leap of faith – his words of wisdom will captivate and inspire even the most risk-averse to appreciate, and even take a big risk of their own.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In Pursuit of Good Leadership is brought to you by not-for-profit organization, Common Purpose</strong>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Common Purpose at:</strong>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/common-purpose\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn&nbsp;</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/commonpurpose/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/commonpurpose\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">X</a>&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"Common Purpose"}
