There’s so much to know about my story, which over time, as we work together, or as you listen to my podcast or my TEDx Talk, you’ll come to know all about. But let me just break down a few fun facts for you…

I started work in HR at 17 and I knew back then that “work” sucked!

I was one the youngest people in the UK to achieve Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD) at the age of 29.

Throughout my career, I hated the idea of being in an office and the world passing me by outside, as I was being told what to do. I needed freedom to plan my work the way I saw fit and be creative and playful in its focus. I felt caged. Nevertheless, I worked hard, as you're “supposed to”, and achieved a degree and masters in HR, and mini-MBA, all whilst working full time. 

It took me to get the role of HR & Workplace Culture Director at age 33 to realise how truly sucky work was and how inauthentic I was being. 
But had had major successes in my career up to that point – My team and I had been recipient of four prestigious HR awards, I spoke at many conferences, had case studies written about my work, and invited to share my approach with other organisations.
