Storytelling is a core capability for leaders of change. Stories are the building blocks of empathy & compassion and a way of getting to the heart of who we are. They foster feelings of community & connection. They can help people feel more in control & less alone in the challenges they face. Leaders who tell compelling stories can move their audience from apathy to empathy & ultimately to action. The original article: https://lnkd.in/ef5fxH3f.

Modern medicine needs to acknowledge that more than 80% of our health is determined by how we live our lives — the food we eat, the work we do, the stress we’re under, the quality of our sleep, the amount we move, the company we keep, and the pollution we’re exposed to — and only 20% of our health is attributed to drugs, surgery and other external interventions. To draw attention to this point, I delivered three poster presentations at the Alzheimer Europe conference in Geneva, Switzerland from 8th to 10th October. The titles of my presentations are: 1. The power of gratitude and breath work in reducing cognitive decline 2. Every soft drink is a bullet to our brain! Or in medical speak: Could fructose metabolism be a driver of Alzheimer’s disease? 3. Can adventure prevent dementia? Or in medical speak: Untangling the mechanisms of cognitive reserve. The first presentation was exclusively for the Geneva conference. The other two posters I also presented at the Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) Conference in Krakow Poland in April.

“Sometimes I feel like I’m his wife, other times his carer and then back to his wife again. “So as a carer and a spouse, you are constantly changing hats. I am constantly thinking of strategies and pre-empting the next thing.” Cheryl is a carer for her husband Bob who is living with dementia. Like many carers, Cheryl feels as though she wears more than one hat in any given day, being both a carer and a partner. Family members and friends often find themselves in the role of a carer when a loved one is living with dementia. While caring for your loved one can be rewarding, it can also have its tougher days. Dementia Australia is here for you. The National Dementia Helpline operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year – including on public holidays.
