With the weight of so much pressure, dealing with stress at the top isn’t always easy.

The Domino Effect looks at gas-lighting and what it’s like to be bullied in the boardroom, including personal portraits of how anxiety, isolation, depression and stress at the top has played out for directors affecting their sense of self, their family lives and their ability to stay ‘checked in.’ It also explores the challenges of speaking out, the impact of stress on the body and mind and how that plays out under the weight of the decision-making process.
