Our Story - From Suffering to Hope and on to Flourishing. Strategic Self-regulation, Co-regulation, and Coproduction: Leadership Lessons from My Brother

Please join us for “Our Story - From Suffering to Hope and on to Flourishing. Strategic Self-regulation, Co-regulation, and Coproduction: Leadership Lessons from My Brother” with Jamie Emberson.

Jamie possesses extensive years of both lived and professional expertise across diverse roles in healthcare, social care, and wellbeing. His career has encompassed positions such as Care Worker, Nurse, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nurse Tutor, Companies Director, Departmental Directorship, Consultant, and Performance Coach. Jamie's personal values and practices have been shaped by his own life experiences, including an early memory at age 5 of his brother Garry and his peers referring to themselves as "Freedom Fighters" while detained in secure facilities. Later in Jamie's life, he found out the meaning of this.

Throughout his lifelong career, Jamie has focused on leadership, development, and systemic/organizational approaches, resulting in notable outcomes like reducing or eliminating restrictive practices and enhancing people's quality of life and well-being. His current passion revolves around positive psychology interventions and strengths-based approaches, which he applies to enhancing the well-being of others. Jamie is particularly interested in aiding those suffering from trauma and stress.

Outside of his professional pursuits, Jamie is a father to Ollie, who also works in the wellbeing field. He shares his life with his dog Hendrix, and nurtures a parcel of ancient woodland to promote biodiversity. Nature holds a special place in his heart, and he has explored mountains in both the UK and the Indian Himalayas. Jamie's culinary interests lean towards Asian cuisine, and he finds joy in cooking.
