If you were to see Paul Croker 7 years ago, you would have seen a very different person to the one you see on social media, at industry events and standing on stages today. 2018 was a really difficult time for Paul, as his world physically and mentally fell apart. Paul found himself in a “perfect storm” where all elements of life (work, family life and his marriage) were hit hard and took him to the edge. In this presentation, Paul will walk us through this difficult time and explain what he did to keep moving forward, and how he came out the other side.
