From “breakdown to the boardroom”. That is how Nigel Cannings, CTO of Intelligent Voice sums up his journey. 

In April this year Nigel candidly chose to open up about his own experiences. Others may describe this decision as “heroic”, “bold”, “brave” but to Nigel it was a personal choice. Something he felt he needed to do, and in doing so he wanted to help others. To start a conversation, a dialogue, about opening up on mental health.Nic joins Nigel, sharing his perspectives as a carer, and together they consider the professions they work in. How attitudes have changed and how certain attitudes remain stubbornly persistent.
