GUEST OVERVIEW: Dean Yates was head of mental health and wellbeing strategy at Reuters, until January 2020. Before that he was a journalist,bureau chief and senior editor at Reuters for more than 22 years. In July 2007, two of his staff members were brutally gunned down by an American helicopter in Iraq. What followed was an unravelling of everything Dean thought he knew of himself. His PTSD was compounded by his moral wound - the devastation of what he thought he knew of the world and his own character and beliefs.After years of treatment, including several stints inside a psychiatric facility, Dean has reshaped his view of the true meaning of life. In his recently published book, Line in the Sand, is that journey to a better way of being.
