To celebrate one year of Leaders in Disguise, we’re re-releasing the first-ever episode - now shorter and sharper, with a clearer focus on the powerful story that started it all.
Gary Parsons opens up about life with Bell’s Palsy, the emotional toll of hiding behind a mask, and what it really means to lead with vulnerability. Since this episode first aired, Gary has been featured on Channel 4’s Love My Face, visited Parliament, and led wellbeing workshops across the UK.
Trigger warning: Contains references to burnout, depression and emotional trauma.
