My why

We are quick to put ourselves and others in a box, based upon our past. I love to see people experience their full potential, based upon their strengths and not their job titles.

My top values
  • Connection
  • Creativity & Play
  • Exploration
  • Thinking Differently
My superpower

I seek to walk the talk and apply my own strengths (Woo, Communication and Ideation) in my leadership and creative projects.

The impact of this programme has been clear to see. We have individuals who feel empowered about running their business who have now understand their strengths and those of their colleagues.
This has led to far more collaboration across the team which has led to significant business wins, not just as a one-of bus as a sustained performance over time.

The proudest moment of my professional life:

Cappuccino served by an expert barista
