In this Episode I am delighted to welcome Mr Hugh Van Cuylenburg. Hugh wears many hats as teacher, athlete, author and mental health and wellbeing advocate but is most famous for founding The Resilience Project and as host of the very popular Imperfects Podcast.
In this conversation Hugh discusses his personal journey and story behind the Resilience Project, which from humble beginnings has now reached over 900 schools Australia wide. We discuss his work and the framework for the project surrounding the GEM principles of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. Hugh shares his experience and perspective and common themes and threads emerge for regular listeners here. We discuss the great strength in vulnerability, power of connection and importance of evidence based practice and collaboration in making positive cultural and systemic change.
As an enthusiastic amateur podcast host and huge fan of the Imperfects Podcast, which Hugh co-hosts with renowned comedian, actor and media personality Ryan Shelton, I indulge my personal passion for the power of podcasting to educate, encourage question, inspire and promote connection through shared experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and look forward to seeing The Resilience Project continue to grow and reach many more in our communities.
