Jennifer Nadel shares what it means to trust what you know is right, even when others dismiss it as naive.

From protesting as a young girl in the countryside to drafting a law to make it an offence for politicians to deliberately deceive the public, she reflects on how taking action, even when it does not succeed, moves us out of despair and into something more hopeful and generative.

Years on, that once dismissed idea is now being taken forward in Wales and considered in Westminster. A conversation about truth, persistence and the quiet courage it takes to keep going.

Jennifer Nadel is co-director of Compassion in Politics, a UK cross-party think tank bringing politicians together across divides. She is also Director of  Compassionate Politics at Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.
