Leading 'WELL' with Wellbeing SUPERMODEL Patrick Ottley-O'Connor‪.‬ 'Saving Grace'

On this weeks episode I am joined by Wellbeing SUPERMODEL, #WomenEd and #HeforShe advocate Patrick Ottley-O'Connor. 

Husband to Mel and dad to FIVE young men, Patrick has a long standing career in education starting out as a PE and Dance teacher, before going on to work in leadership for many years; currently as headteacher and leadership coach. 

Patrick is a wellbeing ambassador, and advocate of the teacher 5-a-day movement and passionate in his support for diversity in education. We discuss his numerous passions beyond his day job and how he manages to find the balance.  We discussed how we can best support our own wellbeing, menopause, food, exercise and of course Hurricane, the most famous tortoise on Twitter who continues to bring joy to so many!

Enjoy!
