by Ilana Lucas - Sep 20, 2024
It couldn’t be clearer why Chris Abraham decided now was the time to stage this play about the challenge that a former pastor and the former caregiver to his late wife pose to a sitting conservative governor’s platform on the eve of a pivotal vote. And that, paradoxically, might be the problem.

What’s your superpower?
Being a parent! And co-running a business ….. it’s quite a balancing act!
What’s your greatest achievement to date?
From a work perspective, I would say it’s the one to one work I’ve done with people over the years, usually on the path to, or transitioning in to, a new role. Helping people to appreciate their own strengths and focus their time and resources doing what they’re best at! I still meet people today who refer back to a feedback development session we had years before and they recall it being a significant turning point for them!
Plus being a parent, to two kind, hardworking and talented young girls!
What mistake taught you the most?
I’m forever learning from my mistakes on a daily basis!
Who are your role models?
I’ve had a number of role models, from my early school years and also inside and outside of work, who on reflection have all possessed some overlapping qualities – show a real selfless interest in others, an acceptance of others who are different to them and a strong ability to deal with and overcome life
