Dr. Jennifer Wild is a consultant clinical psychologist and associate professor at the University of Oxford. She is an international expert on how to build resilience to stress and trauma, and on how to overcome post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Wild has advised the Cabinet Office on how to improve resilience in people who will face trauma in their work. She has developed and evaluated a science-informed resilience intervention for police, firefighters, paramedics and search and rescue personnel, which is being rolled out to services across England.

Dr. Wild regularly appears in the media giving expert advice on how to build resilience to severe stress. The documentary, Vertigo Road Trip, in which she treats five people to overcome anxiety and lead extraordinary lives, aired on BBC One, attracting 2.2 million viewers. She has worked with hundreds of people to create a life that matches their dreams rather than their fears.

Dr. Wild has discovered that overcoming adversity and becoming extraordinary tap the same factor. People who flourish with or without trauma as their catalyst naturally draw on seven key processes. Her book, Be Extraordinary: 7 Key Skills to Transform your Life from Ordinary to Extraordinary, is about what those factors are, how to get them and why they work.
