Speaker

  • Michael Hallett
    Michael Hallett

    Grandson of pioneering aviator Wing Commander Harold Blackburn MC AFC, Michael is a former industrial process analyst who turned to analysing human processes to resolve issues arising from the breakdown of his grandfather’s marriage in the 1930s. This led Michael to create Living With Ghosts, the world’s first online course on generational trauma, and to create family history society talks on the mechanics of shame and trauma.
