Each of us has a story about who we are. But where do those stories come from? How can we tell more helpful, hopeful stories about our lives? Jehan Casinader, one of the New Zealand’s top TV journalists, has wrestled with these questions. While he was reporting on the Christchurch terrorist attack or filming in Hollywood, he was hiding a dark secret: a crippling struggle with depression. In his empowering, uplifting presentations, Jeahn explains how “rewriting” his story saved his life. He teaches each person how to become the author of their own story – especially during Covid. Jehan is a journalist, speaker, mental health advocate - and one of New Zealand’s top storytellers. A familiar face on shows like Sunday and Seven Sharp, Jehan has won major awards, including 'Broadcast Reporter of the Year' at the Voyager Media Awards, and 'Reporter of the Year' at the New Zealand Television Awards. In the aftermath of natural disasters, terror attacks, sporting triumphs and everything in between, Jehan has helped hundreds of Kiwis share their vulnerable, deeply personal stories with the rest of the country. He is the author of 'This Is Not How It Ends: How rewriting your story can save your life' (HarperCollins). |
