Hannah-Rose is a special needs little girl that suffers from Autism, Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy. This is her story. But, more than that, it is my own journey with her, as her father, from the day she was born, up and until today. It is also about a brave little person, who has taught me valuable lessons and has made me a better person for it. It is my sincerest wish that people who are either in a similar situation or know of someone who is, will better understand, draw inspiration from or simply feel kindred towards us, as her parents, on what it means to have a special little person in our life.
Bruce Prins is an author and operational governance thinker whose work focuses on leadership under pressure, structural discipline, and founder-led organisational performance. With over three decades in hospitality and operational leadership across South Africa and Nigeria, he has worked inside complex, founder-led environments where performance is shaped as much by internal governance as by strategy. His writing explores emotional regulation as operational infrastructure, the psychology of authority, and the systems required for durable performance in high-responsibility settings. He is the author of various works on leadership and operational excellence.
