"Food for the Soul" - Are You Being Defensive? - Rachel Priestman - Friday 8 November 2024

Being defensive all the time is not only exhausting, but it's also not the best way to respond. Ask yourself, what are you defending and is this the best way to respond? If it's not, then take a deep breath and exhale slowly, listen openly, and communicate calmly and assertively. Rachel’s varied career has spanned librarianship, urban regeneration, PR and marketing, events and arts management - and a few other things in between. She currently volunteers with the Brahma Kumaris at Global Co-operation House in London, where she helps with media and public engagement activities.
