Mark Hannaford and Lou Rudd: Life of an Adventurer
In this episode, WEM Founder Mark Hannaford is joined by Lou Rudd – record-breaking polar adventurer, expedition leader, former Royal Marine Commando and Director of Expeditions at Shackleton London.
Lou looks back on how he got into the world of adventure and the journey from a bike-ride to visit his Dad over the summer holidays to traverse Antarctica.
Lou gives some of his top tips for dealing with isolation, from breaking down the big picture, to acknowledging your circle of control and handling team dynamics, as well as the importance of routine and finding success in each day.
Lou and Mark also consider the lessons we can learn from Shakleton, especially when it comes to leadership – leading by example and the virtues of patience and optimism, and how these can be applied to clinicians on the frontline.
